This is the Era Indomitus...
A great darkness has befallen the galaxy, and the armies of Chaos are rampant. To survive, humanity must retaliate and take back what they have lost. By the will of the reborn primarch, Roboute Guilliman, is the Indomitus Crusade launched - a military undertaking that eclipses all others in known history. From the Throneworld of Terra does the Avenging Son hurl his fleets, their mission the very salvation of mankind.
As vessels in their thousands burn through the cold void, the attention of Fleetmistress VanLeskus turns to the Machorta Sound - a region under attack by a dreaded Slaughter Host of the Dark Gods. The success of the Indomitus Crusade will be determined by this conflict, and the desperate mission of Strike Group Saint Aster, led by Space Marine Lieutenant Messinus. Even then it is but a prelude to the forthcoming bloodshed.
For in the 41st millenium, there is only war.

October's Digital Book Club title is Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil by V.E. Schwab.

If you enjoy gothic fiction, powerful female characters and stories with mystery and supernatural twists, this could be your next great read.

Reading Friends at Northamptonshire Central Library takes place every third Wednesday of the month from 11:00am to 12:00pm.

We have recently changed the format. We invite attendees to get involved in selecting a book from our Reading Group collection to enjoy reading in their own time, before returning the following month to share their thoughts with the group. You can share your thoughts, discoveries, and enjoyment of the chosen book in a friendly and welcoming environment.

At our last meeting, our Reading Friends group attendees have so far selected to read, or reread, Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier. We have Reading Group Collection copies available, as well as the audiobook on . Whether you are reading along for the first time, revisiting a favourite book, or have enjoyed the film adaptation, join us from 11:00 am to 12:00 noon on 21 October 2026 to share your thoughts with a friendly group of attendees.
