Any one have any info on this?

I mean, you should read the book, but..

Just like all the other times he dies...

Seriously - read the book. It is one of the best in the series.

I see it is on preorder on Amazon, where did ya'll find a copy? BL? It's darkly humorous. I picked up the AL way back in 2nd Editon because they were the most "unknown" Legion. The least was know about them and thus more left up to my personal discretion. As a vague picture gradually developed down through the editions I generally liked all the fluff developments; mostly redefining the idea of the :"Most Unknown" Legion. Of course also the cultist factor, which eventually became the most defining factor of the AL. More and more the idea of the AL moved away from the latest editions of 40k, models and rulewise, in my opinion. The new 30k books shed new light on the legion which affects their identity in the 40k arch (ARE they loyal? etc.). If they are closet loyalists AND the CSM codex is gak why not use codex SM? At first I saw 30k as a fresh start for my AL and I welcomed it. But more and more the AL seem just like a big write off. The big secret is...they're super secret! Anyway just venting really.

Just saying,

In the end, it is more likely that it was not the real Alpharius due to how fluidly members of the XX fill that role. Remember, the twin Primarchs were Astartes-size, and they routinely had taller Astartes of their legion stand in as Alpharius. Also, either Alpharius or Omegon was Janus.
