Search Worlds Without End

Omnibus edition of all three novels in the Forges of Mars trilogy - Priests of Mars, Lords of Mars and Gods of Mars - as well as an additional short story.

The Martian Mechancius's thirst for knowledge is insatiable, and when Archmagos Lexell Kotov learns of an ancient expedition that went in search of the very source of life in the universe itself, he immediately assembles a powerful Explorator fleet to follow in its footsteps. Not only does Kotov have the powerful engines and warriors of the Adeptus Mechanicus to call upon, even the troops of the Imperial Guard and the vaunted Space Marines join his crusade. The way, however, is treacherous and fraught with perils both within and without the fleet.

There are marvels and wonders at the edge of known space, discoveries beyond price, but there are those who believe the secrets of the universe should stay hidden and beings there who pose a danger not only to the fleet but to the Imperium itself.

Two grim tales of war featuring the implacable legions of the Adeptus Mechanicus.

Skitarius
A discovery of ancient technology sends a skitarii legion under the command of Haldron-44 Stroika into battle on a world overrun by Chaos. When a cataclysm cuts him off from his tech-priest overseers, Stroika must rally his forces and battle corrupt machines and Chaos Space Marines if he is to achieve victory.

Tech-Priest
Magos-Explorator Omnid Torquora of the Cult Mechanicus orchestrates war against the Iron Warriors for control of a long-lost forge world. With mighty Titan Legions, skitarii, and maniples of battle-servitors and robots at his command, victory is within his grasp... until treachery threatens to end his dreams of conquest.

Legend tells of a foolhardy expedition, led by the radical Magos Telok, which ventured out into the unknown space beyond the Halo Worlds in search of the 'Breath of the Gods' - an arcane device with the power to unmake and reshape the very stars themselves. Thousands of years later, the ambitious Lexell Kotov musters his Adeptus Mechanicus Explorator fleet and sets out to follow in mad old Telok's footsteps. With the might of the Imperial Guard and the Space Marines to augment his own forces, he searches for the hidden clues which will lead him to greatest power that the galaxy has ever known. But who knows what ancient perils may yet lie outside the Imperium and the dominion of mankind?

An Adeptus Mechanicus Explorator fleet meets its fate beyond the Halo Worlds

Pursued by vengeful eldar, Magos Kotov's Explorator armada heads into a newly revealed area of space in pursuit of ancient secrets. As the Adeptus Mechanicus forces and Black Templars Space Marines tackle the twin threats of the aliens and insurrection aboard the fleet, a greater danger reveals itself...

On the far fringes of the galaxy, Adeptus Mechanicus Magos Kotov's great journey is over. He has achieved his goal--to find the resting place of the long-lost Magos Telok. But Telok isn't dead... As the brave explorers of Kotov's fleet marvel at the wonders Telok has to show them, darker plans unfold. As reality itself is threatened by impossible technologies, it may fall to a small group of Imperial soldiers and their eldar allies to thwart an insane plan and save not just the fleet, but the entire universe, from destruction.
