Цикл "Восхождение Зверя", книга одиннадцатая - Тень Уланора

Автор спойлера: Survivor

В первой главе описывается как все плохо. Красивое, кстати, описание. Если коротко: орки продолжают выбивать мирза миром, общего руководства нормального нет, гвардия и флот собираются отовсюду и сидят на пятых точках в пунктах сбора, где на них случайным образом натыкаются орки. Космодесант не знает куда приложиться, и в общем и целом завязли в орках, не успев вовремя сгруппироваться.
Недобитки из Последней Стены устраивают Пир Мечей, в котором побеждает Тан, которому приходит в голову мысль: раз уж Образцовые у него кончаются можно переименоваться в Имперских и под этим соусом вновь набрать себе капитул. Все остальные на это покупаются.
Сразу об других Образцовых: потеряв где-то Библиария который с ними был, бравые ребята решают всё же попробовать передать данные на Терру, при этом рассуждая как жалкие людишки их предают, и какие замечательные товарищи Железные Воины. Они отправляются на астронавтический станцию, к которой пришвартован Черный Корабль с инквизитором. Инквизитор говорит им что они а) предатели б) индейское народное жилище а не астропатический хор в) эти Железные Воины с которыми вы тусуетесь недавно на этот Черный Корабль нападали. Под конец с помощью ручных псайкеров (кстати, довольно прикольно описанных) и модной зажигалки он уничтожает и корабль и станцию, и капитан Зерберин со товарищи продолжают свое моральное падение.

Вангорич встречается с кардиналом - одним из кандидатов в Экклезиархи - и в душевном порыве ему исповедуется. Тот советует ему действовать, и в благодарность Вангорич начинает с того, что травит его насмерть ( чтобы чего личного не сболтнул) . Кстати, Месринг успел разослать смски с призывами покоряться Зверю, и ряд миров так и начали делать.

Тан проводит совещание с Вангоричем и Кубиком на луне. Он представляет им тот же план что был у Курлянда, но с привлечением больших сил. Из прошлых орков псайкеров остался один, и Караул поймал еще пару. Оба Лорда дают ему поддержку.

На Терре собирают большую сходку на одной из площадей, пригодных для представлений. В качестве представления как чертик из табакерки из под пола вылезает капитул свежепокрашенных Имперских Кулаков. Тан в боевой термоброне толкает речь типа "наше дело правое, мы вместе, победа будет за нами", ввернув туда выпивающую слезу историю про паучка. При этом он как бы примерил на себя мантию Лорда-Жиллимана, как будто этот пост передается путем чемпионатов по фехтованию между космодесантниками. При этом он угрожает всем остальным Лордам что их прирежет, то есть, под его одобрение Вангорич убивает у Адмирала и Маршала телохранителей и заявляет, что если они не прекратят саботировать общее дело, их убьют Кулексусы и заменят. Кстати, у каждого из них в телохранителях как раз оказалось по Кулексусу...

Начинается большая Боёвка. Тан вносит в план Курлянда улучшения:
1) загребают все до чего смогли дотянуться, включая старые линкоры списанные в летающие тюрьмы, Фалангу, жалких фратерис темпляров, всех оставшихся Сестер Безмолвия и т п.
2) атака предваряется астероидной бомбардировкой с помощью спертой у орков гравитационной технологии
3) в одном из астероидов высаживаются Кулаки и Сестры, орк-стайл
4) первую контратаку орков отбивают детонировав одного из чудил
5) стены Горкограда (а точнее - его канализация) пробиваются орбитальной бомбардировкой с Фаланги

В общем и целом все идет нормально. Куча потерь в космосе, какие то части флота вообще не доехали, титаны еле успели убежать от своих кораблей которые захватили орки, тяжелую бронетехнику высадили в индустриальные отходы где она не могла ехать, один из капитанов Кулаков помер прямо при высадке, после попадания под бомбардировку и подземный взрыв от Сестер остался один взвод - да и чудила случайно умер... Короче, Кулаки пробиваются в тронный зал Зверя когда у них уже болты кончились.
Самый зверистый Зверь (остальные скромно стоят в соседней комнате) идет бить им морды, довольно неплохо бьет. Левой раз - Центурионы всмятку, правой раз - терминаторов в фарш, левой два - от Сестер только командирша осталась.
Но Рыцарь-абиссал была настоящей дочкой самурая, и в отличие от жалкой дуры из прошлой книжки резво и молча делает харакири, вызывая детонацию псайкера, а вслед за этим - голов Зверя, Зверей и всех орков на планете

На Терре Вангорич решает, что он сам (а также Курлянд и Тан) - гасконские мушкетеры, а другие лорды как бы наоборот, поминая при этом недобрым словом интриганку Виенард (которая, кстати, тоже была на Улланоре вместе с Караулом). Любовь не может цвести в Дворце Императора судя по всему.
