In the grim darkness of the far future setting of Warhammer 40,000 there is only war! Now that unique mix of science fiction with decaying medieval stylings hits the PC in the first of a new line of Real Time Strategy games. Created by computer game giants THQ, Dawn of War will be one of the season's major releases, backed up by an immense advertising and publicity program. Both game and novel tell the saga of the Bone Ravens, near-superhuman Space Marine warriors. Their mission is to destroy the planet Cyrene and its heretical populace, lest surrounding planets are tainted by their daemonic allies. But for Brother-Captain Angelos this is no easy command - for Cyrene was the world where he was born. Duty and honor are called into question in this storming slab of military science fiction.
