Synopsis: • "There were too many for even the most robust defense—ship after ship containing wave upon wave of soldiers wearing distinctive red armour. These soldiers were human, but then again, they weren't. They seemed to possess no fear or suffer no pain or cry out or make any noise at all—even when their comrades were blown to bits by the desperate defenders, it didn't slow them at all. It became apparent that they were being controlled by creatures that were rumoured to come from the depths of Hell itself—they were tall—a good eight-foot-tall, with horns and to all intents and purposes looking like the devil himself!" ― quoted from this book's product page on its Amazon product page as of 2021-02-08.
