BRAND NEW FICTION BY ROB SANDERS:
Inquisitor Bronislaw Czevak - scholar, adventurer, fugitive. Since fleeing the fabled Black Library of the eldar with the Atlas Infernal, he has been hunted by xenos, heretic and sorcerer just as he once hunted them. Guided and protected by this ancient tome bound in human skin, he has now found his way to the daemon world of Nereus in search of a powerful Chaos artefact. With Ahriman and the Thousand Sons racing to claim it for themselves, Czevak must scour the colony of Perdition's Landing if he is to outwit his old enemeis... but might this bedraggled outpost hide an even darker secret of its own?

Soon after word reached Terra of Horus’s nascent rebellion, Mars fell. Rogue elements within the Mechanicum priesthood, stirred by the Warmaster’s promises of independence and prosperity, turned against the Imperium and forced the primarch Rogal Dorn to order an impenetrable blockade of the Red Planet. Now it has become clear that the corruption has spread too deep, and that more drastic measures must be taken if the Forge World Principal is to be reclaimed. Calling upon the expertise of those who witnessed the so-called ‘Death of Innocence’ firsthand, Lord Dorn and Malcador the Sigillite consider their final solution – the complete extermination of all life on Mars.
This limited edition Horus Heresy novella will be available to order from Friday the 24th of July in a deluxe hardcover edition with a plethora of additional features. It’s limited to just 3,000 copies worldwide, so you’ll want to hurry. Click HERE to reserve your copy.

As the call of Archaon echoes out across the mortal realms, another of the champions of Chaos heeds its summons. Zuvius, a servant of Tzeentch, determines he must prove his worthiness to the Everchosen and ascend to serve at his banner. With a small retinue, he ventures onto the Blasted Plain and a reckoning with the warriors of the Goresworn. Only one will be chosen...
Get an insight into another aspect of Chaos – the tricky, conniving, deceptive side. Tzeentch champion Zuvias lies and manipulates the servants of the Blood God to get him safely across the dangers of the Blasted Plains. A fantastic contrast between the gore-soaked barbarism of the Khorne Bloodbound and the sinister subtlety of the followers of Tzeentch.
'Eye of the Storm' can be enjoyed as a self-contained story or as part of the 'Call of Archaon' sequence started by the brilliant David Guymer.

RECENT SCIENCE FICTION BY ROB SANDERS
The ADEPTUS MECHANICUS duology reaches its completion with ADEPTUS MECHANICUS: TECH-PRIEST
The disciples of the Machine God, the Cult Mechanicus are on the front line of the Quest for Knowledge. Tech-priests lead their forces of augmented warriors and battle-automata into battle with the Omnissiah’s foes in defence of His secrets. Magos-Explorator Omnid Torquora orchestrates war against the Iron Warriors for control of a long-lost forge world. With skitarii legions and maniples of battle-servitors and robots at his command – not to mention the mighty god-machines of the Titan Legions – victory is within his grasp… until treachery threatens to end his dreams of conquest. Amazing scenes of action and all-out violence ensue as the augmented horrors of the Cult Mechanicus wage war on the massed legions of the Iron Warriors. Victory is within reach of Magos-Explorator Omnid Torquora - at least, until treachery encroaches on his dreams of conquest. Featuring an incredible cast of bizarre mechanical characters, this novel is a fantastic continuation of the story laid out in 'Adeptus Mechanicus: Skitarius'.

ADEPTUS MECHANICUS: TECH-PRIEST continues the story begun in ADEPTUS MECHANICUS: SKITARIUS.
The skitarii are the soldiers of the Machine God, the tireless legions of the Adeptus Mechanicus. Holy warriors, they carry the word of the Omnissiah across the galaxy, destroying the impure machines of aliens and renegades and spearheading the Quest for Knowledge. A discovery of ancient technology sends a skitarii legion, commanded by Alpha Primus Haldron-44 Stroika, into battle on a forge world overrun by Chaos. When a cataclysm cuts him off from his tech-priest overseers, Stroika must rally his forces and battle corrupt machines and Chaos Space Marines if he is to achieve victory.

As the war for the forge world Velchanos Magna rages on, Tech-Priest Dominus Theronymous Gant hunts a Dark Mechanicum warlord across the blasted ruins. With a clade of mighty Kataphron Breachers at his side, he is ready to deal death to the traitorous tech-priest. But when his foe does the unthinkable, Gant and his Kataphrons find themselves facing an overwhelming force of mighty daemon engines bent on their destruction…

His body broken by the fall of the Schadenhold, the Iron Warriors warsmith Idriss Krendl is nonetheless far from defeated. Now commanding two of the mighty siege guns stolen from the forge world of Diamat, he seeks to redeem himself in the eyes of his primarch by bringing down the Great Selenic palace on Euphorus, and gather invaluable tactical data for the eventual assault on Terra. His plan? To utilise a strategy of his own devising – the glorious Ironfire protocol.
Follow the continuing adventures of Iron Warriors Warsmith Idriss Krendl as he attempts to take down a giant palace with a pair of the enormous siege guns. We last met Krendl in the story The Iron Within, where he went head to head with the loyalist Dantioch. After that humiliation, he's trying to recover his reputation with an audacious plan.

Indiscriminate in their destruction, the tyranid host consumes all in its path, sparing nothing and brooking no parley. The exodite world of Ephraeleon will be the next to fall, its people unprepared and undefended, but for Eldar Ranger Una Belphoebe the fate of the planet means nothing compared to the love of her prince. With the chitinous horde already descending on the jungles of Ephraeleon has her desperate rescue come too late?
The eldar aren’t the most compassionate of aliens at the best of times, but with their entire race facing extinction, one group of rangers is faced with a terrible decision: the death of a world or the extinction of their species. It’s also one of the few times in Black Library’s fiction where we get to explore one of the deadly dinosaur-infested exodite worlds of the ancient eldar empire.

A discovery of ancient technology sends a skitarii legion, commanded by Alpha Primus Haldron-44 Stroika, into battle on a forge world overrun by Chaos. When a cataclysm cuts him off from his tech-priest overseers, Stroika must rally his forces and battle corrupt machines and Chaos Space Marines if he is to achieve victory.

His body broken by the fall of the Schadenhold, the Iron Warriors warsmith Idriss Krendl is nonetheless far from defeated. Now commanding two of the mighty siege guns stolen from the forge world of Diamat, he seeks to redeem himself in the eyes of his primarch by bringing down the Great Selenic palace on Euphorus, and gather invaluable tactical data for the eventual assault on Terra. His plan? To utilise a strategy of his own devising – the glorious Ironfire protocol.
Follow the continuing adventures of Iron Warriors Warsmith Idriss Krendl as he attempts to take down a giant palace with a pair of the enormous siege guns. We last met Krendl in the story The Iron Within, where he went head to head with the loyalist Dantioch. After that humiliation, he's trying to recover his reputation with an audacious plan.

Indiscriminate in their destruction, the tyranid host consumes all in its path, sparing nothing and brooking no parley. The exodite world of Ephraeleon will be the next to fall, its people unprepared and undefended, but for Eldar Ranger Una Belphoebe the fate of the planet means nothing compared to the love of her prince. With the chitinous horde already descending on the jungles of Ephraeleon has her desperate rescue come too late?
The eldar aren’t the most compassionate of aliens at the best of times, but with their entire race facing extinction, one group of rangers is faced with a terrible decision: the death of a world or the extinction of their species. It’s also one of the few times in Black Library’s fiction where we get to explore one of the deadly dinosaur-infested exodite worlds of the ancient eldar empire.

BRAND NEW FICTION BY ROB SANDERS:
Soon after word reached Terra of Horus’s nascent rebellion, Mars fell. Rogue elements within the Mechanicum priesthood, stirred by the Warmaster’s promises of independence and prosperity, turned against the Imperium and forced the primarch Rogal Dorn to order an impenetrable blockade of the Red Planet. Now it has become clear that the corruption has spread too deep, and that more drastic measures must be taken if the Forge World Principal is to be reclaimed. Calling upon the expertise of those who witnessed the so-called ‘Death of Innocence’ firsthand, Lord Dorn and Malcador the Sigillite consider their final solution – the complete extermination of all life on Mars.
This limited edition Horus Heresy novella will be available to order from Friday the 24th of July in a deluxe hardcover edition with a plethora of additional features. It’s limited to just 3,000 copies worldwide, so you’ll want to hurry. Click HERE to reserve your copy.

The ADEPTUS MECHANICUS duology reaches its completion with ADEPTUS MECHANICUS: TECH-PRIEST
The disciples of the Machine God, the Cult Mechanicus are on the front line of the Quest for Knowledge. Tech-priests lead their forces of augmented warriors and battle-automata into battle with the Omnissiah’s foes in defence of His secrets. Magos-Explorator Omnid Torquora orchestrates war against the Iron Warriors for control of a long-lost forge world. With skitarii legions and maniples of battle-servitors and robots at his command – not to mention the mighty god-machines of the Titan Legions – victory is within his grasp… until treachery threatens to end his dreams of conquest. Amazing scenes of action and all-out violence ensue as the augmented horrors of the Cult Mechanicus wage war on the massed legions of the Iron Warriors. Victory is within reach of Magos-Explorator Omnid Torquora - at least, until treachery encroaches on his dreams of conquest. Featuring an incredible cast of bizarre mechanical characters, this novel is a fantastic continuation of the story laid out in 'Adeptus Mechanicus: Skitarius'.

NEW FICTION BY ROB SANDERS:
The skitarii are the soldiers of the Machine God, the tireless legions of the Adeptus Mechanicus. Holy warriors, they carry the word of the Omnissiah across the galaxy, destroying the impure machines of aliens and renegades and spearheading the Quest for Knowledge. A discovery of ancient technology sends a skitarii legion, commanded by Alpha Primus Haldron-44 Stroika, into battle on a forge world overrun by Chaos. When a cataclysm cuts him off from his tech-priest overseers, Stroika must rally his forces and battle corrupt machines and Chaos Space Marines if he is to achieve victory.

Archaon Interview
This is an interview about the new Archaon release, 'Archaon: Lord of Chaos', taken from the Black Library Blog.
"Today we catch up author Rob Sanders about his new novel Archaon: Lord of Chaos. He’s answering all our questions about Warhammer’s ultimate villain Archaon and his path into damnation.
Tell us about the story of Archaon: Lord of Chaos (No spoilers, please).
Archaon: Lord of Chaos continues the dark quest of the ruinous warlord Archaon to become Everchosen of the Chaos Gods and bring about the apocalyptic End Times.
Archaon is obviously a bad guy in the Warhammer setting (THE Bad Guy). How did you make sure he still came across as a compelling protagonist?
Everyone knows Archaon to be one of the most devastating characters in the background. Archaon: Everchosen and Archaon: Lord of Chaos shows how such a deadly warlord is crafted by dark fate. Archaon is not just a Chaos warrior favoured by a dread power or risen to bloody prominence. He never chose the dubious honour or the expectations that have been thrust upon him. He despises the Chaos powers and their daemonic servants as much as hates Sigmar, the god he feels abandoned him. Archaon will be neither heretic to the people of the Empire nor puppet of the Dark Gods.
How has Archaon's character evolved since the first novel Everchosen?
Archaon has learned a lot since his adventures in Archaon: Everchosen. His story arc takes us from his fateful birth to the days of dark destiny. Archaon’s story is truly epic, stretching not only across the extended lifetime of one of the most deadly characters in the Warhammer World but also across the surface of the world itself. Archaon’s travels take him to places that readers have never seen: the squalid lands of the Old World, the eternal battlefields of the Northern Wastes, the daemon-haunted realm of the Southern Wastes and through the Chaos Gates themselves. As he travels, Archaon grows not only in physical prowess but learns what it takes to be a tyrannical warlord at the head of the largest and most monstrous Chaos army anyone has ever seen.
Archaon has plenty of enemies. What foes can we expect him to face in this story?
Archaon is beset on all sides by enemies. The armies of the Old World stand before him at sea on the decks of their ships and on land, protecting their borders from invasion. The warriors, creatures and monstrous servants of Chaos are all on their own dreadful paths, attempting to win favour and accrue power.
The daemons of Chaos fight Archaon for his very soul. Other Ruinous champions and sorcerers, who would also call themselves ‘Everchosen’, meet Archaon on the field of battle, army to army and blade to blade – hoping to strip him of his treasures and his destiny.
And of course, there is Be’lakor...
The daemon Be'lakor plays a big part in the novel: tell us about him.
Archaon is a dark and unstoppable force. The same can be said for his sworn foe Be’lakor. While the Dark Master wields great power, he has been hobbled by the Chaos gods for his boundless daemonic ambition. While both Archaon and Be’lakor are Ruinous threats to the Warhammer world, they are both victims of the Chaos gods, who have suffered immeasurably at the hands of the Dark Pantheon.
Be’lakor might view himself as puppet master and fool himself into thinking that Archaon is his puppet but the two characters are heading at full speed towards one another on the same track. It is a conflict that can only find resolution in the titanic, mountain-shaking clash of Chaos warlord and his daemon master.
Read 'Archaon: Everchosen' and ‘Archaon: Lord of Chaos’ if…
-You like your fantasy dark, gritty and epic;
-You want to know the real Archaon, who lives and breathes beyond the background in the pages of a thrilling fantasy duology;
-You are enjoying the ‘Warhammer: End Times’ series and want to see where the ‘End’ begins, in the company of the original ‘Lord of the End Times’ himself.
As well as your Archaon novels, you're also known amongst Black Library readers for your Horus Heresy fiction. But who would win in a fight between Archaon and a primarch?
Going to upset some folks either way on this one! I think it has to be Archaon. Think about it this way. All of the traitor primarchs were primarchs like their loyalist brothers before they turned to Chaos – and yet they still turned. They were the princes of the galaxy, the generals of colossal armies and the product of genetic engineering that bestowed upon them incredible gifts and abilities. Yet still about half of them turned to the Ruinous Powers. As the Everchosen of the Chaos gods, Archaon is ruin incarnate. He is chosen of all Chaos, not a single power like many of the favoured traitor primarchs.
Thanks, Rob.
Check out the harbinger of the End Times’ rise to power in Archaon: Lord of Chaos available in hardback and as an eBook. And if you want to read more of his fall from grace, read the prequel Archaon: Everchosen.
That's all for today,
Thanks for reading.
