Lorgar: Bearer of the Word

Cover of Lorgar by Gav Thorpe GENERAL RELEASE EDITION (Black Library)Today sees the general release of my Horus Heresy Primarchs novel, Lorgar: Bearer of the Word. You can now order it in hardback, eBook and MP3, and there are also some of the swanky limited editions left too.


“In cahoots with (former) series editor Laurie Goulding I pitched a story that took everything right back to its roots, to the world of Colchis where Lorgar was found and raised by the fanatical priest Kor Phaeron. This was the origin of the Word Bearer and, by extension, the very start of the seeds of the Horus Heresy itself. If the approach proves popular hopefully it will open up the possibilities of other novels yet to come.”


You can read more about the book in my Author’s Notes blog.

“On the world of Colchis, mighty religions rule a decaying society in the name of absent gods – until the arrival of Lorgar. Primarch, prophet, leader of destiny, the Golden One is raised by Kor Phaeron, priest of the Covenant, to be his weapon in a quest for power. As religious war spreads across the planet, spearheaded by the Brotherhood of Lorgar, the primarch is plagued by visions of the future and the coming of the Emperor. To find his place in this new order, he must reach balance between the teachings of his adopted father Kor Phaeron, and the fate that he knows awaits him among the stars.”


“Gav Thorpe deftly takes what we presume to know of Lorgar and his upbringing, of Kor Phaeron, Colchis and the Covenant, and turns elements of it on its head.”

“Sadistic and abusive priest meets impressionable little boy. What could go wrong? ”
