Warhammer 40k: Waiting Death - Steve Lyons

Lyons seems to be one of the kings of licensed writings. I've got a few of his books knocking around the place.  This one was of audio variety.

The story was a pretty basic tale of a platoon of Catechan jungle fighters discovering a seemingly lost and forgotten group of 'hippies' in the middle of a deathworld forest.  The fighters bed down with them overnight only to become besieged by mutants from the jungle. 

The primary character is a stereotypical hard-bitten guard major who annoyingly repeatedly refers to himself using both name and nickname - oh and rank too.  That got old pretty fast.

It wasn't a bad hours diversion though, it just wasn't a particularly good one either.
