The offshore rigs roared their monstrous symphony, a counterpoint to the hushed whispers of the Dee and Don, rivers murmuring secrets as old as time, secrets I couldn't share. My demon, a ravenous, clawing thing, had sunk its teeth into my very marrow.

Der Sabbatwelten-Kreuzzug hat die Festungswelt Jago erreicht und das Erste Tanith erhält die lebenswichtige - und gefährliche - Mission, eine Schlüsselpassage gegen den Feind zu verteidigen, untergebracht in einem alten Herrenhaus, dem Hinzerhaus. Doch dort tragen sich seltsame Dinge zu. Stimmen flüstern im Wind und Menschen verschwinden spurlos. Mit Feinden vor den Toren und Gespenstern im Innern müssen Kommissar-Oberst Gaunt und seine Männer sich ihren Ängsten stellen - denn nur im Tod endet die Pflicht.

Kommissar-Oberst Ibram Gaunt hat ein Jahr auf dem vom Feind besetzten Planeten Gereon an der Seite der dortigen Untergrundbewegung gekämpft. Als er Gereon verließ, versprach er, mit den Streitkräften des Imperiums zurückzukehren, um die Bürger Gereons von ihren Unterdrückern zu befreien. Aber als er nun mit einer Kreuzzugsarmee im Rücken wiederkehrt, findet er eine vom Krieg geschädigte Welt und Menschen, die unwiderruflich vom Makel des Chaos geschädigt sind. Jetzt muss Gaunt Gereon nicht nur vor dem Feind beschützen, sondern vor dem Imperium selbst.

Während die Zukunft des Kreuzzugs in den Sabbatwelten auf Messers Schneide steht, gibt es neue Hoffnung in Form der Heiligen Sabbat. Die reinkarnierte Heilige soll das Imperium gegen die dunklen Mächte des Chaos zum Sieg führen. Die lebende Heilige ruft Kommissar-Oberst Gaunt und das Erste Tanith zu sich, um ihr als Leibgarde zu dienen. Doch Gaunt zweifelt daran, dass sie wirklich diejenige ist, die sie zu sein behauptet. Nun muss er die Wahrheit herausfinden, während die Geister sich gleichzeitig gegen feindliche Truppen und tödliche Attentäter wehren.

What would Apaches with modern weapons be like? Will our modern civilization ever fall like civilizations from past eras? This isn't academic history (and Carlin isn't a historian) but the podcast's unique blend of high drama, masterful narration and Twilight Zone-style twists has entertained millions of listeners.
