Last year, Black Library published a new Horus Heresy anthology, Death And Defiance, a limited release hardback special as part of their ongoing series of bespoke super-lovely editions; but for folks who couldn’t pick up the dead tree version, BL has now made each tale in the collection individually available in glittery digital form.
That includes the story I wrote called Gunsight, which is can be downloaded directly from BL’s website right Here.
I won’t blow the plotline (despite the fact that the front cover strapline contains is a major spoiler!) but I will say that Gunsight is a direct sequel to the events of my second Horus Heresy novel Nemesis, which featured a disparate squad of Imperial assassins working together in hopes of terminating the archtraitor Horus Lupercal.
As anyone familiar with the larger scope of the Horus Heresy will know, it didn’t go well for them, but it’s in the “for want of a nail” what-if, almost-but-not-quite that story lives – and you can think of Gunsight as a coda for it. In this tale, readers meet someone forever changed by his near-miss with the Warmaster, and get a look into the doom that lies at the end of his particular fate line.
Alternatively, if you’d like to pick up the full Death And Defiance collection, you can find it Here.
