In the hostile universe of the forty-first millennium, where devotion is an inconstant concept, few of the Emperor's sons are as mysterious and unpredictable as the members of the Alpha Legion. Although they were branded traitors in the days of heresy, the motives and actions of these warriors were always shrouded in mystery. Alpha-Legioner named Occam the Infidel leads his gang out of the usual hunting grounds in the area of Malstrom, going in search of salvation not only himself, but the entire legion. Pursued by the forces of the Inquisition, Occam and his entourage use all their cunning and impressive military skills, making their way to the cold heart of the Galaxy, where they are waiting for a confrontation that no one, especially Occam himself, could have foreseen.
