The Founding

A Gaunt's Ghosts Omnibus

New edition of the first Gaunt's Ghosts Omnibus, which includes the introductory story arc of the series, consisting of the novels First and Only, Ghostmaker, and Necropolis.

In the Chaos-infested Sabbat System, the massed ranks of the Astra Militarum - better known as the Imperial Guard - stand shoulder to shoulder as they fend off an invasion by heretical forces. Among the defenders of the Imperium are the troops of the Tanith First-and-Only, a displaced regiment forced to leave their home planet before it succumbed to the relentless assault of Chaos. Nicknamed 'the Ghosts', they take on a special reconnaissance role and are thrown into the thick of battle. Under the command of Colonel-Commissar Iam Gaunt, they must navigate the treacherous intrigues of rival regiments and the deadly firepower of the enemy if they hope to have any chance of victory over the forces of Chaos.
