I think it'll be the day these books release in stores? So in two weeks?

Ian Watson died https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ian_Watson_(author)

Oh I'm sorry to hear that. There was certainly a piece of me that wished that he'd get an opportunity to say what might have happened in a hypothetical sequel to Chaos Child one day.

Obviously some of the setting was in flux, but I really liked the Inquisitor trilogy growing up. And it was always nice to see a book in a setting where there's a god of pleasure in which people even have sex sometimes!

RIP and best wishes to his family. He did a lot to establish the feel for what 40k is and should be appreciated for that.

Loved the Inquisition Wars books+Space Marine.

I'll fire a boarding torpedo up a sphincter and have some bolters ejaculate in his memory.

Sad day, but 40K is a far better universe for his contributions.
