Yeah, I read the Horusian Wars "trilogy" and it's two books that set up a bunch of something and then a short story collection that all takes place prior to the events of the second book. John French is really not a good author. He's not terrible but I'd rank him below Guy Haley and even below Graham McNeil.

Some of his stuff is bad but I did like the horusian wars books quite a bit. I'm a sucker for inquisitors though

Angry Lobster posted:BL writers tier list when? I am author Guy Haley. My imperfection is my dialogue. I am John French. My imperfection is manifold. Especially the fact that I don't understand punctuation other than commas and periods. And write very short sentences. I am Aaron Dembski-Bowden of Northern Ireland. My imperfection is my name alone.

I am Dan Abnett, and there is no other; I am Dan Abnett, and there is none like me. I make known the end and the death, from Eisenhorn, what is still to come. I say: My purpose will stand, and I will abuse the thesaurus all that I please.

Renegades: Lords of Excess badly needs a rework. There's something here but the plot loving meanders back and forth in the 2nd half so climaxes aren't climaxes and things just happen.

"Ian Watson." The two words (vocalized seconds ago, the confused grumbling of a dying confessional) still dimly resound, now only an imperceptible echo. What words! A fathomless reservoir of perfumed obscenity and debased spectacle compressed into four meager syllables! The dying marine succumbs. Oversized muscles relax, and gasses noisily escape his anus to punctuate his final spoken words. Biff laughs.

I am Sandy Mitchell, my palms tingle as I wrote this and things never turned out the way they did. I am Matthew Farrer, GW should have let me write more for them.

I am Peter Fehervari and I am dead. I greet you from the door-frame when you come home from the temple, and your pious children hug you through my mud-stained shins. I greet you during your frantic morning ablutions, and the blood that drips from my shattered mouth mixes with the denticlarium from yours in a pink swirl on the blessed ceramik. I greet you in the Great Hall of Saint Holger as you are raised to the hallowed rank of Third Abbot Minoris, your eighth promotion in eight years, and the Abbot Majoris does not notice the sharpening of your teeth nor the rumbling of your stomach that no luncheon will quiet, but I see and I hear and I rejoice and clap with my single remaining arm. I greet you as my ward and younger brother in the Path, and I wait for you in the hidden little chapel under the Temple's roof, where the splinters from your children's spines glint shinier than any jewel from their settings in the sides of the blessed chalice, and where the Arbites' mallet finally make you as broken as I am.

The audio drama that introduced the characters was pretty solid from my memory and I've had that book on my wishlist for ages now. Just a lot of other books that take precedence over it whenever i buy a couple.

FPyat posted:I've never before or since read a book that felt so much like it was a Discworld installment.  I'll add it to my list, thanks. I have read a whole lot of Black Library books and short stories this year and there's still more to go. I need to write up an effortpost about all the various content, because some of it I haven't seen discussed much or at all. One thing I want to point out early though is that Rhuairidh James is an author to watch closely. So far he's only written two short stories, Da Gobbo Rides Again and The Sum of Its Parts, but they are both absolutely superb. Gobbo Rides Again is the third installment about Da Red Gobbo, a mythic figure among grots who is dedicated to bringing about Da Revolushun and throwing off the chains of their Ork enslavers. (As an aside, the first Red Gobbo story, Da Gobbo's Revenge, was by Mike Brooks and it's also superb, and the second, Da Gobbo's Demise, was by Denny Flowers and it's okay, got some clever moments but doesn't measure up to the other two). The Sum of Its Parts is a story about a Leman Russ tank that sees action in many different warzones, and I'm not sure how to best describe it, but the angle James takes with it is really brilliant. I hope he gets the chance to write more shorts, and hopefully full-length stuff.

Not for a while, the last major novel was Choose your Enemies. And they came out with an anthology collecting a bunch of short stories last year.
