Got to agree there, it took me several times listening to take it all in, something I had no trouble with when listening to their first audio-book based on two short HH novellas that I've read before.

Extremely true. I'm having a hard time with Throne of Lies. Though I must say his writing style does do well with audiobooks. I think it is just the format, and the way I think - I listen to music, not specific lyrics - so I'm not used to having to pay attention the entire time.

Cannot stand mp3 for books. Just not my thing. I am also sure (even tho a guess) that they also aren't as big a seller as a book - so bloody well release the back catalogue and new books in eBook format a little quicker please.
2014 will be the year of zero GW purchases. Kneadite instead of GS, no paints or models. 2014 will be the year I finally make the move to military models and away from miniature games.

The black rage is within us all. Lies offer no shield against the inevitable. You speak of donning the black of duty for the red of brotherhood; but it is the black of rage you shall wear when the darkness comes for you.

Yes it is out in the US.
Dead Men Walking was pretty damn good. The krieg come off as more inhuman then the necrons, oddly (but fittingly, I guess) enough. Definitely worth a read if you are a fan of Imperial Guard of the Krieg variety, although there is a pretty grounded commissar and PDF to root for, as well as even out the emotionless Krieg and Necrons . One of the better Imperial Guard books imo.
Warrior Priest is next on my list!

The poor man really has a stake in the country. The rich man hasn't; he can go away to New Guinea in a yacht. The poor have sometimes objected to being governed badly; the rich have always objected to being governed at all
We love our superheroes because they refuse to give up on us. We can analyze them out of existence, kill them, ban them, mock them, and still they return, patiently reminding us of who we are and what we wish we could be.

I'm not sure if this has been covered yet and apologies if it has (I went back a few pages and didn't see it) I was picking up the new Cain novel in GW today and the store manager was bouncing like a little girl as he has been told by HO that he can confirm that Prospero Burns will be available in stores on the 18th December...
My painting and Gaming blog, check it out and let me know what you think.
Sounds like the manager of my local GW, he's been getting giddier by the day since the December release was confirmed. The revelations in First Heretic haven't helped either.
I'm looking forward to Prospero Burns reading the SW's side of the story will be very interesting. Although it will take a lot to convince me that the Wolves are more than a bunch of savages.

Looks like all of the Abnett videos have been uploaded now.
Man, I wish there was a real Black Library where I could get a Black Library Card and take out Black Library Books without having to buy them. Of course, late fees would be your soul. But it would be worth it. - InquisitorMack

This is the cover to "The Battle of the Fang" due June next year.

I think the RG and Sons tales are separate.. 1 line for each tale/author.
I think the RG one is by Gav Thorpe perhaps ?
I assume McNeill is doing the Ultramarine tale, IIRC Mr. DBC's one is NL and DA related.

Wow.... that Battle of the Fang cover..... So i would think Bjorn is making an appearance (could it be the that this is the battle where he leads the defense?).

In a recent interview on 40kRadio Dan Abnett, when asked what he was working on said he is doing a third Inquisition trilogy that will start being released next year. The subject? (And I quote) "Eisenhorn v. Ravenor"
O.O AWESOME!
(I couldn't see if anyone mentioned this already, if it was and I missed it, sorry about the double-post).

Really?!?
Even a short story in a short story collection would be OK at this point!
In one of the videos he talks about Legion and how he really wants to write more about them. He joked about how the ultimate new Legion novel would be one in which you're half-way through the novel before you realize it's actually about the Alpha Legion.

It was, but it also was a while ago, so it probably bears repeating - I know I am REALLY looking forward to it, but do we have any timeframe on this at all yet?

That would be amusing, and really, I'll take anything!
