Heart of Rage
"Heart of Rage" is an original audio drama by James Swallow. It was released in July 2009, performed by Toby Longworth and directed by Lisa Bowerman.
It was later reprinted in the anthologies The Book of Blood, Victories of the Space Marines, Blood Angels: The Second Omnibus, and Sons of Sanguinius: A Blood Angels Omnibus. According to Swallow's foreword to The Second Omnibus, the printed story is the longer version, including scenes that do not appear in the audio version.
Brothers Nord and Kale of the Blood Angels enter the heart of a dead tyranid hive ship on a mission for the Adeptus Mechanicus – what horrors await them in the darkness?
Aboard the Imperial Navy frigate Emathia, Brother-Librarian Nord and Brother-sergeant Kale of the Blood Angels make a startling discovery - an alien tyranid hive ship, half-destroyed and drifting through space! Under orders from the Magos Xeren, the Blood Angels board the ship to locate a lost scout team. But their fate is far from straightforward. Little do Nord and Kale realise the horrors awaiting them. For they not only risk their bodies, but their very sanity as well.
