October is a banner month for some neat re-releases from my back-catalog in the grimdark worlds of Warhammer!
Two titles are hitting in short order, one that features a story of the Adepta Sororitas – the zealous Sisters of Battle – and another from the Horus Heresy era, a tale of the traitorous Death Guard.
Back in 2011, I wrote my second Sororitas novel Hammer & Anvil, and now the Warhammer Legends partwork series is releasing it in a spiffy new hardcover edition, on sale in all good bookstores on the 17th of this month.
The Sisters of Battle are the Emperor’s most devout worshippers, fierce warriors preaching the purity of the Imperium and scourging their enemies with bolter and flamer.
On a distant world, the Ecclesiarchy outpost of Sanctuary 101, was wiped out by an implacable foe – the fearless, soulless necrons. Now, a mission of the Sisterhood has returned to reconsecrate the site – but the metallic nightmares still lurk in the darkness, guarding a secret that has lain dormant for millennia.
A vicious battle will be fought – one that can only end in the total destruction of the unrelenting xenos, or the annihilation of the proud Sororitas.
To visit the Warhammer Legends site, click Here or go Here to order individual copies of the partwork hardcovers; if digital is more your speed, you can still pick up the eBook edition right Here.
Later this month – the 20th to be exact – you’ll be able to pick up a copy of Heralds of the Siege, a new Horus Heresy short fiction collections, featuring content by me, Gav Thorpe, Chris Wraight, John French, Guy Haley, Nick Kyme, Rob Sanders and Anthony Reynolds.
A galaxy burns and brother turns on brother as the conflict brought about by a beloved son’s betrayal reaches its fateful end.
The Warmaster Horus has triumphed. His massive fleet at last nears Terra and the patriarchal Throne of his hated father.
Many have fallen to bring this moment about, their tales are the ashes upon which the Heresy was born and prospered.
Others have played their own small parts, drops in an ocean of war and blood.
None of it matters.
Terra looks to the skies as it raises its defences. Armies muster, heroes raise their swords, citizens cower.
The war is coming. And nothing can stop it.
My contribution to this hefty tome is “Exocytosis“, a story featuring the Death Guard and the character of Calas Typhon, which set him up for his appearance in my upcoming Horus Heresy novel The Buried Dagger (due in Spring of 2019). “Exocytosis” originally appeared in the 2016 Black Library Advent Calendar series and this marks its first dead-tree edition.
