Bane of Kings reviews the latest chapter in the multi-authored Horus Heresy series from Dan Abnett, published by Black Library.

Horus Heresy: Scars (Episode VIII) by Chris Wraight – Review [Bane of Kings]

Scars_VIII

Milo, aka “Bane of Kings” continues the coverage of the eighth Episode in the ongoing, serialised Scars narrative by Chris Wraight, published by Black Library as part of the multi-authored, New York Times Bestselling science fiction Horus Heresy series.

“An excellent continuation of what is already a very solid novel. Chris Wraight continues to impress and keep the reader engaged as the book continues to progress.” ~Bane of Kings, The Founding Fields

Horus Heresy: Scars (Episode VII) by Chris Wraight – Review [Bane of Kings]

Scars Episode 7

Milo, aka “Bane of Kings”, reviews Episode VII of Scars, the seventh part out of twelve in the latest serialised Horus Heresy novel from Black Library, written by Chris Wraight. This continues the tales of the White Scars legion and if you’re reading this book as a collective format, then you’ll want to pick it up to see where it goes. But Episode VII is far from the best jumping on point for readers who have missed out on the previous 6. 

“An excellent continuation of events from previous outings, Scars is still marred by the same problems that let down its predecessors.” ~Bane of Kings, The Founding Fields

tallarn-executioner

Allowed to view the opening pages of the upcoming limited edition novella by John French, Bane of Kings and Bellarius give their thoughts on the opening.

An excellent (if very small) extract promising greater things to come. If you can afford the pricetag of this limited edition novella, then Tallarn: Executioner, from this extract at least – is a very interesting read from the awesome John French. “ ~Bane of Kings, The Founding Fields

“An interesting beginning to the conflict which adiquately outlines the basics before the battle.” – Bellarius, The Founding Fields

Scars_Chris_Wraight

Milo, aka “Bane of Kings” reviews the sixth instalment of the first serialised Horus Heresy novel, Scars, penned by Chris Wraight and published by Black Library.  This instalment sees the continuation of the adventures of the White Scars as now, halfway in through the book, the plot really continues to pick up its pace. Episode VI, like previous instalments – is available to buy exclusively from Black Library as an ebook.

“Another excellent instalment. There hasn’t been a weak outing yet in Scars, and Episode VI is no different. Chris Wraight is on excellent form here as we reach the halfway mark – with the promise of greater things to come.” ~Bane of Kings, The Founding Fields

Veil of Darkness by Nick Kyme – Audio Drama Review [Bane of Kings]

This audio drama is written by Nick Kyme, and narrated by Gareth Armstrong, set in the Warhammer 40,000 Universe as part of the Space Marine Battles exclusive Audio Dramas.

“A great, first person-narrated take on one of the most iconic Space Marine characters, Cato Sicarius, and apart from a few flaws - Veil of Darkness stands along with Damnos as being another very strong instalment in Nick Kyme’s Ultramarine stories.” ~Bane of Kings, The Founding Fields
