Space Marine Battles #12-13
Defenders of Mankind
The Space Marines are humanity's defenders. Warriors without peer, forged by arcane science, they are the ultimate expression of the Emperor's will and shine like a beacon of hope to all mankind.
This Omnibus comprises the title The Death of Antagonis by David Annadale and Death of Integrity by Guy Haley.
The Death of Antagonis
The Black Dragons fall upon the world of Antagonis, summoned to combat the plague of undeath that has engulfed the planet. Allying themselves with Inquisitor Werner Lettinger and a force of Sisters of Battle, the Black Dragons endeavour to save the souls of the Imperial citizens who have succumbed to the contagion. But there is more than a mere infection at play – the dread forces of Chaos lie behind the outbreak, and the Black Dragons stand in the way of the Dark Gods’ victory…
Death of Integrity
Having tracked a genestealer brood across the sector, Chapter Master Caedis of the Blood Drinkers calls upon his old allies in the Novamarines to assist in the destruction of the space hulk designated Death of Integrity. But before they can unleash their plasma torpedoes, the Adeptus Mechanicus intervene and task both Chapters with a secretive mission into the heart of the hulk. With deadly xenos creatures seemingly lurking around every corner, Caedis treads a fine line between glorious victory and the damnation of eternal bloodlust carried by all sons of Sanguinius.

A fun read.

Maybe if I was a fan of the game I'd like this better. Read it because my teenage son recommended it.
Defenders of Mankind is actually an omnibus of 2 novels and a couple related short stories.
The first novel is The Death of Antagonis by David Annandale. I didn't care for it and it was very hard for me to get into it.
The 2nd novel was Death of Integrity by Guy Haley. I enjoyed this story and accompanying short stories much more, but still 3.5 stars for me.
Generally speaking, it was hard for me to get into the back story and fantastical parts of world.
