The war for Arkhona escalates. In the midst of a Tyranid attack on an Astartes held Communications Post, Ultramarines led by Sergeant Castor drop pod into the heart of the swarm, to break the siege and prevent a crucial asset of the Imperial war effort from being lost...

I first read this story more than five years ago at this point. It was originally part of an Audiobook project I started to see what worked when narrating and what didn't. I owe a lot to doing the Tales of Arkhona project as it taught me a lot about acoustics, audio quality, pacing and correct pronunciation*. Ever since I first read Descent on Arkhona, I promised myself I'd come back and re-read one day, to see how far I've come and where to go from there. Now I think is a better time than any. So thanks for reading (and listening). See you next time.

Intro/Outro music is called "For Macragge!" and was composed by Robert Renato Hack aka "OfficioAudiorum". You can visit his channel here:
