The Founding
Dan Abnett · 3 novels · 1999–2000
Dan Abnett's Gaunt's Ghosts opens with First & Only: the Sabbat Worlds have been lost to the Imperium for centuries, and Colonel-Commissar Ibram Gaunt leads the Tanith First-and-Only regiment into a crusade to reclaim them, only to uncover a conspiracy threatening the war effort from within. Ghostmaker and Necropolis continue the regiment's campaigns. The Founding collects these first three Warhammer 40,000 novels as one omnibus.
