Er, OK then...

Dan Simmons or Steven Erikson.

Definitely Jack Vance. He's still alive, but way too old, and certainly retired.

But, alive!

Amen to that. Galaxy in flames was done ok. The souldrinkers Omnibus was the only book I got rid of after I read it from my 40K collection.

I have a feeling you're very close even though this was a jest. It'll most likely be multiple books. If the attack on Prospero is two then the siege of Terra will be $$... erm... I mean many books for sure. As long as they are well written and don't turn into snore fests (Battle for the Abyss, Hello!) I'll happily buy them.

But my vote is for Graham McNeill. I love Abnett tremendously (Though he ends his books screwy to often), but I think Graham should get it.
But it'll most likely be Abnett since he's the big cheese of BL 40K. So it's a win win!

if gav thorpe touches it I will refuse to read. Has to be Grahm or Dan all the way.
