Bane of Kings reviews the latest chapter in the multi-authored Horus Heresy series from Dan Abnett, published by Black Library. This book continues the New York Times Bestselling series serving as a sequel to several previous novels in the epic saga and establishes itself as one of the best novels in the series so far.

“The Unremembered Empire explains why Dan Abnett is one of the best Black Library writers out there at the moment, and quite possibly the best. It’s explosive, action packed and a very awesome read indeed despite any flaws it may have.” ~Bane of Kings, The Founding Fields

Veil of Darkness

Milo, aka “Bane of Kings” reviews the Black-Library exclusive Veil of Darkness Audio Drama, set following the Ultramarines’ defeat at Damnos, detailing the consequences of Sicarius’ failure. 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
