Hello there, I just found this on Black Library. Don't now if somebody else posted it somewhere, but I thought I'd share it with you.
The Emperor is enraged. Primarch Magnus the Red of the Thousand Sons Legion has made a terrible mistake that endangers the very safety of Terra. With no other choice, the Emperor charges Leman Russ, Primarch of the Space Wolves, with the apprehension of his brother from the Thousand Sons home world of Prospero. This planet of sorcerers will not be easy to overcome, but Russ and his Space Wolves are not easily deterred. With wrath in his heart, Russ is determined to bring Magnus to justice and bring about the fall of Prospero.
January 2011 • softback, 416pp • ISBN 9781844167760

Anyway, I'm looking forward!

Custodes or Sisters of Silence, if it's in keeping with A Thousand Sons (Graham McNeill).

Best get motoring'. Nearly finished Galaxy in flames (did anyone else shed a single manly tear when Horus finally turned?), but mainly I'm looking forward to the First Heretic. It looks like it's going to be made of win, covered with win sauce and with a win cherry on top.

I didn't shed a tear over Horus. I wanted Loken to kill Erebus for three books straight. Sigh.
Definitely Sisters. They have breasts if you look closely. Also, Sisters have shaved heads with pony tails.

Hopefully the custodian guard can finally be kicking some behind, they were treated like little schoolgirls in the thousand sons book for crying out.
I wondered why the emperor ever sent them along to attack the thousand sons, more expensive and utterly worthless cannon fodder is hard to find.

I like the cover's similarity to A Thousand Sons.
Really shows how the two legions were conflicting.

I'm waiting until November/December to read Thousand Sons, so it's fresh in my mind when this comes out.
I'm guessing it's not Custodes, because they don't have helms. Which I'm thinking means it's Sisters of Silence.

Yes, Sisters of Silence, though the Custodes led by their master himself aid the Wolves in assaulting Prospero.

I have an inkling I know whats going on. Im not up on Space Wolves fluff enough to know for definite. I don't really want to pursue it, Im going to savour the mystery & hope its revealed in Prospero Burns.
What I really like about the Horus Heresy books is that the good & evil of certain characters isnt black & white, theres lots of moral ambiguity, which you dont always see in GW fiction. It makes more of an interesting read.
I too am looking forward to The First Heretic, but has anyone listened to the Raven Guard one? I think it was only released as an audio book. Gutted.

THANK GOD for spoiler tags. I'm about 500 pages through the book right now,and you guys would have ruined it for me.
EDIT: Forget it. I already knew this anyway. Magnus turns into a daemon prince later on, I believe. Then he gets all crazy on ahriman for turning his sons into robots. Blahblahblah, I already know the story now.
