I always buy BL novels in HC format when I can, I hate reading those mass market paperback format, too small for my eyes. Anyone know if they plan on releasing more HC version of already released novels, like The First Heretic for example.

I'm sure you hear it a lot, but you are quite a talented author with a feel for what makes a character work.
Someone told me just now that you are writing a story for Axanar. Is that true? I had the impression that you hated Star Trek.

I never bothered finishing the Pythos audiobook but Fear to Tread made me put down BL books and not touch them again for almost a year before I finally forced myself to finish it.

Is this set after that? Did I miss something?

Leman Russ wasn't on Terra in the original Heresy-fluff. He couldn't get there fast enough.
Of course, Black Library already garbled it a bit, given he is on Terra in Vengeful Spirit and leaves again (?). So anything goes I suppose.

Yeah. It was the Fists, White Scars and Blood Angels on Terra. The Wolves and Dark Angels showed up late, Guilliman was stuck at Ultramar, and the Raven Guard, Iron Hands and Salamanders were too crippled from Istvaan V.

Fear to Tread is also the last Heresy book I tried to read. I only got about 30-60 pages in. I lost my bookmark, but all I remember is that some Blood Angels were fighting orks and it felt like a complete waste of time for a Heresy book. Anyone remember what page that happens on?
