Fear the Alien
The Imperium of Man has many enemies among the stars, but none are reviled so much as the alien. Dangerous races seek to destroy humanity wherever they turn –the brutish orks, the ravening hordes of the tyranid, the unrelenting necrons and the mysterious forces of the tau and the eldar. Across the universe, humanity and their defenders, the Space Marines, seek to eradicate these xenos threats. Yet all they can hope for is another day of survival – for to stand against the alien is to enter an unending war... Featuring stories by Dan Abnett, Aaron Dembski-Bowden, Nick Kyme, Juliet McKenna, C.L. Werner and many more, Fear the Alien is an unmissable collection for fans of Warhammer 40,000 and military science fiction.

Love this book.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Colby
There are so many great stories in this book. The one with the harlequin mask I was like WTF after the first page but the more I read the more I loved it. Now I have a question. Is what happened on the space hulk after the Night Lords!! and the salamanders left mentioned in another book later or have you guys not written that far yet? Great Book.
Fantastic anthology!
Rated 4 out of 5 by Jeff Preston
So many good stories in here! I usually dislike anthologies as they often seem like the appetizer platter instead of an entree. This one blew my doors off! The big names did their usual stellar job, and there's some fresh new names that really drove the story home for a win!

Rated 4 out of 5 by Lindsey
Very good read with a surprising amount of stories written by author's who we never/hardly see writing 40K fiction. This is the highlight in my view of this anthology. Huge praise for Braden Campbell story, very dark humoured amd out there.
