Another great Severina Raine short story by Rachel Harrison! This one was quite a quick read and kept me fully engaged the whole time!

Raine and the Antari are redeploying from the cathedral city of Whend when they find themselves under heavy fire and cut off from Imperial lines. With walking wounded and no chance of extraction, their only hope is a dangerous forced march through enemy-held territory, but with ammunition running low and enemies pressing in all around, the odds are heavily set against them.

It's a bleak and powerful examination of the grubby, confused horror of war in the 41st millennium, written with brutal immediacy and pulling no punches with the action. In the midst of all the carnage the characters continue to develop in intriguing ways, and there are yet more signs that this is going to be a series to really watch.
