There are also a number of Tearers-focused short stories available, as well as multiple audio dramas including Blood in the Machine and The Stromark Masscare. Sons of Wrath and Flesh of Cretacia are Space Marines Battles novellas which focus on their early days under Chapter Master Amit, the original Flesh Tearer, while Trial by Blood focuses on the other most famous Flesh Tearer – their Chapter Master Gabriel Seth, on trial for the crimes of his Chapter.

If you want to read about the Flesh Tearers you are well-served, as they have a surprising amount written about their exploits, being favourites of one Andy Smilie.
