[Horus Heresy] The Primarchs

Lashing out withan armoured boot, the Lion sent the hound-like beast tumbling down the corridor. Taking half a dozen strides, the primarch brought both of his swords down across its back as it tried to right itself, carving it into three pieces that spattered into gore across the decking.

He stopped for a moment to assess the situation. The flight of stairs down to the main core chamber was only fifty metres ahead, and the passageway was free of enemies. He could hear his company fighting behind him, the retort of bolters echoing up from the stairwell he had just left. Though he knew his little brothers were in a dire situation, he had to focus on his objective: regaining control of the core so that the warp engines and Geller field could be engaged.

The comm buzzed as he stepped forwards, and he heard Corswain’s voice. The seneschal sounded strained, as if speaking through gritted teeth.

‘My liege, the way is clear to the warp core. You must come at once. There is something else here, something we cannot destroy.’ The comm-link hissed for a few seconds. ‘It… It wants to speak with you.’

Rob Sanders va finalement participer à The Primarchs (et ne sera pas remplacé par ADB).

Coming out soon – The Primarchs in which I have a novella ‘Feat of Iron’, which is about Ferrus Manus of the Iron Hands and really delves into his psyche and how he sees himself ranked up against the other primarchs. It runs concurrently with the storyline of Promethean Sun but is in no way dependent on that story. There some pretty f*!king awesome revelations in it about Ferrus Manus and a hint about what’s to come in the next phase of the Heresy storyline too. It’s previewed at BLL and released ‘officially’ in June 2012.

Next up is 'The Reflection Crack'd', which is my contribution to the Primarchs anthology. This story addresses something I'd wanted to deal with ever since the Battle of Isstvan V at the end of my novel, Fulgrim. I won't spoil it for you, but when I was pitching the story to the editors it was with the line, 'It's The Exorcist, Emperor's Children style.' There's much more to it than that of course, but as a hook line, that's not a bad one. Writing this story was like a homecoming for me, as Fulgrim was a novel I put black heart and cursed soul into, so to come back to the ravaged Legion was a total blast. Writing Lucius is a joy, as he gets to say and do so many things that most other characters I write would never even think of. And Fulgrim embracing his monstrous narcissism and rampant ego-mania makes for a fun day of writing. The end of the story is also a neat lead in to my next Horus Heresy novel, which it's not a spoiler to say features the Emperor's Children and a certain Traitor Legion known for its expertise in siege warfare.
