Praxis — Chris Bradbury; Ian Makinson

Set in the Warhammer 40000 universe, PRAXIS is the story of disparate people brought together by war, betrayal and the threat of universal chaos. When the Lady Divine, the spaceship of the Wounded Sons chapter of space marines, answers a distress call from the planet Minas, the brotherhood is wiped out in the vicious battle that awaits them. Only one survivor is found: First Captain Remi Orthesian. Captured by a rogue trader and brought back to health by a dedicated medic, Remi finds himself outcast as a traitor and thrown into a struggle against another who wants to control the ultimate power of the universe... ...Chaos itself. He sets out to find the one who wants to bring about such destruction and in the process comes across the greatest enemy he has ever faced, the beautiful, deadly, Inquisitor Valeria Mordeen. On his journey he is forced to join with an ex-assassin, the leaders of rebellion and the amoral captain of the rogue traders and to re-evaluate his own prejudices in order to succeed.
