Imperial Guard Omnibus: Volume One

Imperial Guard Omnibus: Volume One is an omnibus which collects a number of previously-published novels and short stories featuring the Imperial Guard. The book was later republished as Shield of the Emperor, containing the same contents.
In the 41st millennium, the human Imperium fights a constant battle to protect its domains from the many enemies who seek to conquer and overwhelm it. Though the superhuman Space Marines are strong and noble, their numbers are limited, and it is the massed ranks of the Imperial Guard who form the first line of defence. With incredible manpower, and supported by massive battle tanks and hordes of priests, clerks and engineers, it is an indomitable war machine – the Conqueror, the Unstoppable, the Hammer of the Emperor.
