Ok, so this probably should have gone out yesterday, but I had something planned for the site already, and just never got around to posting this until now.
Warhammer 40,000 – Games Workshop’s science-fiction table-top wargame – became 25 years old yesterday. There were in-store events with exclusive products available. In terms of stuff related to this blog, and my own tastes, GW’s publishing arm Black Library also released a “25 for 25” eBook:
Here’s the table of contents:
“Pestilence” – Dan Abnett
“Wrath of Kharn” – William King
“Sacrifice” – Ben Counter
“Red Reward” – Mitchel Scanlon
“The Last Detail” – Paul Kearney
“At Gaius Point” – Aaron Dembski-Bowden
“Mistress Baeda’s Gift” – Braden Campbell
“Survivor” – Steve Parker
“The Heraclitus Effect” – Graham McNeill
“Flesh” – Chris Wraight
“Even Unto Death” – Mike Lee
“The Carrion Anthem” – David Annandale
“Bitter End” – Sarah Cawkwell
“On Mournful Wings” – Simon Spurrier
“Ancient History” – Andy Chambers
“The Burning” – Nick Kyme
“A Good Man” – Sandy Mitchell
“Suffer Not The Unclean To Live” – Gav Thorpe
“Orphans of the Kraken” – Richard Williams
“Bloodline” – James Swallow
“Snares and Delusions” – Matthew Farrer
“The Curiosity” – Dan Abnett
“The Skull Harvest” – Graham McNeill
“Gate of Souls” – Mike Lee
“Xenocide” – Simon Jowett
Some of the names I recognise from omnibus editions (Iron Warriors, Blood Angels, Ciaphas Cain, etc.), but others are completely new to me. I don’t, actually, think I’ve read more than a handful of these, so it is quite tempting. The price makes it more tempting still: £14.99/$17.99/€17.99 (I don’t understand why it’s much more expensive in the UK) for 25 short stories is a pretty good deal.
I’ve recently bought quite a few Black Library eBooks, so I’m not sure when or if I’ll be able to get around to buying and reading this, but I’m sure it’ll happen (there are a lot of writers I like included in the anthology).
