Fear the Alien: Edited by Christan Dunne
The Imperium of Man has many enemies among the stars, but none are reviled so much as the alien. Dangerous races seek to destroy humanity wherever they turn –the brutish orks, the ravening hordes of the tyranid, the unrelenting necrons and the mysterious forces of the tau and the eldar. Across the universe, humanity and their defenders, the Space Marines, seek to eradicate these xenos threats. Yet all they can hope for is another day of survival – for to stand against the alien is to enter an unending war... Featuring stories by Dan Abnett, Aaron Dembski-Bowden, Nick Kyme, Juliet McKenna, C.L. Werner and many more, Fear the Alien is an unmissable collection for fans of Warhammer 40,000 and military science fiction.
[Okay, here's some short stories for 40k by lots of authors which basically focuses on the xenos threat to mankind. As mentioned above, you get stories by Dan Abnett, Aaron Dembski-Bowden, Nick Kyme, Juliet McKenna (Who I've never heard of before), C.L. Werner and more, this looks promising. I may be picking it up].
Prospero Burns: Dan Abnett
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.
[The next installment in the Horus Heresy Series, the sequel to A Thousand Sons, and written by Dan Abnett features the Space Wolves' side of the Battle for Prospero. Of course, this is delayed by Dan Abnett being ill, and I am glad that he made a recovery. So yeah, as A Thousand Sons was absolutley fantastic, I'll have to try and pick this up. Looks superb. There is currently no preview avaliable but yeah.]
The First Heretic: Aaron Dembski-Bowden
Amidst the galaxy-wide war of the Great Crusade, the Emperor castigates the Word Bearers for their worship. Distraught at this judgement, Lorgar and his Legion seek another path while devastating world after world, venting their fury and fervour on the battlefield. Their search for a new purpose leads them to the edge of the material universe, where they meet ancient forces far more powerful than they could have imagined. Having set out to illuminate the Imperium, the corruption of Chaos takes hold and their path to damnation begins. Unbeknownst to the Word Bearers, their quest for truth contains the very roots of heresy…
[Another Installment in the Horus Heresy Series features Aaron Dembski-Bowden's first Horus Heresy novel, which is according to his blog, about the same size as A Thousand Sons and Nemesis, and features the Word Bearers fall to Chaos. This Looks Pretty awesome.]
Firedrake: Nick Kyme
When Chaplain Elysius of the Salamanders is taken captive by Dark Eldar, he faces a fight for survival at the hands of these cruel aliens. The Firedrakes of 1st Company attempt a daring rescue mission, but much more is at stake than the Chaplain’s life. He holds the key to secrets buried beneath Mount Deathfire, secrets that could reveal the damnation – or salvation – of their home world. The Salamanders must penetrate the Port of Anguish and defeat the xenos threat there if they are to unveil the mysteries within the Tome of Fire. Meanwhile, Dak’ir battles to survive the brutal Librarian training, and in his visions liesan even darker future…
[This is the next installment in the Tome of Fire Trilogy written by Nick Kyme, and as we've seen from Salamander, which was amazing, this has got a big reputation to live up to. I can't wait to read this book, by the way].
Well, that's that out of the way, but those are only the tip of the iceberg for future Black Library releases. (Ones which I'm looking forward to but don't have enough time to mention here are Blood Gorgon by Henry Zou and Garro: Oath of the Moment by James Swallow. Of course, we've also got the huge exictment of the Ultramarines Movie to look forward to in the near future, and if you're intrested in more future releases, head over to the Black Library website. Also, If any links don't work, copy and paste them into the link bar at the top.
I hope you enjoyed this massively long blog post, and now I'm going to leave you with news that I picked up two black Library books today from Waterstones who were doing a 3 for 2 offer on all Science Fiction and Fantasy books, (the 3rd book was not a BL, and a family member brought it), and they are... Path of the Warrior - Gav Thorpe, and Heroes of the Space Marines [Various].
