You see a helpless civilian. Do you. Purge in the name of the god Emperor Turn to page 15 Blood for the Blood God Turn to page 8 Convince to do Cocaine! Turn to page 6 Cough on Turn to page 7 Enlist in some byzantine scheme with hinges on a butterfly flying slightly slower than normal three sectors off, while still have a plan in play for it flying slightly faster Turn to page 9

Therion posted:I liked that Pariah was different, it has a nice unique style to it rather than "Eisenhorn, but with a female lead". However I think that Beta's stay in the school [mild spoilers] should have been much shorter. It's an engaging introduction to the setting, but a bit too much exposition. Kara Swole was the one always described as voluptuous

Um, isn't there only 2 books in the lost so far? Blood Pact and Salvation's reach? There has to be at least 1 more, if not 2 before the omnibus.

Trast posted:I checked online and it's "The Lost (2009): Traitor General, His Last Command, The Armour of Contempt, and Only in Death." That leaves Iron Star, Blood Pact, Sabbat Worlds, and then Salvation as single novels. So I guess we'll see a new omnibus when Abnett finishes the new Heresy book that is coming before the new Gaunt and Pariah series book. Iron Star is really a short story, and Sabbat worlds in a short story collection, and doesn't deal with the ghosts at al, so I would guess that neither would be in an omnibus for the Victory. However, I was wrong on the lost name for it.

So, Sandy Mitchell (he of the Ciaphas Cain stories) had a couple of books about an inquistorial warband, which ended on a cliffhanger. I expected the third book to come out, but it seems the previous two don't even exist on BL's site anymore. Anybody know what's going on?

SquadronROE posted:I can't find anything reliable... does it look like there's ever going to be another Gaunt's Ghosts book? They left the last with a lot of loose threads. Are there characters people like who are still alive? Then yes. (besides it brings in enough for black library to have a scrooge esqu.money bin.)

What if it's more than one primach. Roboute wakes up and Ultramar sucedes from the Imperium. Lion and Leman returns from the warp. Mutual distrust of each other causes them to declare war on each other. The Salamanders retrieve all the Artifacts. Corax returns having perfected the cloning poo poo but gone insane.

Lead Psychiatry posted:Having just finished Execution Hour and Shadow Point I'll agree that they're good. But Shadow Point has a glaring flaw that works hard to completely ignore a staple of the Imperial Navy just to make the plot work. Once you realize it, it niggles at the back of your mind for the rest of the read. Must have missed that. What is it?

Impaired Casing posted:Speaking of, I was looking ahead in the Gaunt's Ghosts series, and see that "Blood Pact" and "Salvation's Reach" are two books in an arc all of their own called The Victory. Is it only those two books, or are there more waiting to be published? I'm on "Only In Death" right now, and can't decide if I want to read the next two, have it end on a cliff hanger, and wait it out, or just wait it out and not read them until the books are done. I only ask because looking at the publication dates, a couple years are between some of the releases, and that's a long time to wait. It seems like there will be two more books in that series. However, those aren't the only books in the crusade really. There are a few spin offs. Like Titanicus, and Double Eagle, and the upcommign Interceptor City. Plus the Sabbat World Anthology.

Impaired Casing posted:I actually finished rereading betrayer a few days ago. He does, indeed, eat the dead at the end in the last battle, and at the part quoted above me. Actually, from reading both, I can really say that the style of the Cain memoires, and the coward/hero dynamic is Flashman, but other than that, I real get a more Blackadder feel from him. Also, stylistically it made sense. Whereas in the time, Victorian men were expected to be celibate, or at least faithful to their wives, heroic,religious or at least spiritual, honourable etc, you get Flashman who isn't. Meanwhile in the 40th millenia you're supposed to a horrible person, yet Cain is a decent one.

Other than Gaunt's Ghosts, and Horus Heresy*, is Ciaphas Cain the BL's series with the most books? I mean, it is at 9 now, not counting short stories and the like. *Since HH has many different plotlines/authors, I feel it would be unfair to list it in this.

You know, I've always heard never touch any C.S. Goto, but have never actually heard why, except for "Multilaser". Even then I don't know why Multilaser is bad, cause people say it likes it's an inside joke, and I guess I'm not on the inside. Haven't read any of his stuff, but just curious about why it's poo poo.

I run guard in chimeras. I know multilasers are real. It's just whenever I've asked in the past, all I've gotten is people saying "Multilaser" as if it's an injoke.

Lincoln`s Wax posted:I can see some exec thumbing through the pages while saying "This okay, but where are the female marines? And it's all so... dour. We're thinking of making it so the army guys can just walk in and out of those dread things- audiences connect better with faces!" The problem with that is he doesn't have the body type cain has been described as having. He'd be Jurgen.

Pyrolocutus posted:I think there's also fluff that the upper echelons of the Mechanicum is wise to how technology really is, as opposed to the religious mentality of the lower ranks. It's akin to the way that most Space Marines venerate the Emperor as a leader or progenitor rather than a god, in contrast to the Imperium at large. I wouldn't be surprised if the Necron/Eldar/Tau/whathaveyou technology vanishes into their laboratories on Mars, then a decade later a new and improved laser cannon born of human knowledge rolls out, praise the Omnissiah.
