The obsession with Warhammer 40k continues with this cover page of the novel Flight of the Eisenstein. In this scene, two loyalist Space Marines of the traitorous Death Guard Space Marine Legion fight alongside their gold-armoured brothers from the Imperial Fists Space Marine Legion to defend the Emperor's Palace on Holy Terra against the traitor Legions. The Marine on the left is presumably Captain Nathanael Garro of the Death Guard 7th Grand Company, leader of the 70 Loyalists from the Traitor Legions.
The whole damn world is so Hobbesian. Thomas Hobbes would have been proud indeed. Totalitarian autocracy on the one hand and chaos and anarchy and limitless evil on the other. The Choice of Hobbes indeed.
