There are two things guaranteed on Kaivanto: rain and terror.

Subaltern Zyst has just joined the Imperial Fleet.

He expects adventure, glory and action.

Instead, he's assigned to the mining world of Kaivanto, where he can expect only rain, mud and terror.

In a universe with faster than light travel, power armour and energy weapons, Subaltern Zyst has been assigned to the most archaic world in the Empire. A place nobody has ever heard of and where misery is par for the course, with a simple mandate: keep the ore flowing and keep the monsters outside the perimeter.
