Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more;
Or close the wall up with our English dead.
In peace there's nothing so becomes a man
As modest stillness and humility:
But when the blast of war blows in our ears,
Then imitate the action of the tiger;
Stiffen the sinews, summon up the blood
Or close the wall up with our English dead.
In peace there's nothing so becomes a man
As modest stillness and humility:
But when the blast of war blows in our ears,
Then imitate the action of the tiger;
Stiffen the sinews, summon up the blood

The delight that is having a trailer for your latest book.
I’d love people to give it a look - it was great fun to write and I’ve had several people tell me it was fun to read, too!

Given that I'm between projects I've had a chance to catch up on my 40k/Heresy reading - a mix of older and newer stuff.
Have very much enjoyed Assassinorum: Kingmaker, Dropsite Massacre, Fulgrim: the Perfect Son, and Voidscarred over the last wee while.

Can I just say I love the humility and earnestness that @malkydel.bsky.social brings to writing the Black Library. The “I can only run because others have walked” vibes in his Krakenblood intro are a delight. This IP only lives on in 2025 because of the love we have for it.

Krakenblood by @malkydel.bsky.social is so great so far! I love the inclusion of the Helvinter rogue trader dynasty! Ivar is a great protagonist, and a wonderful insight into the head of a Wolf Priest. Only complaint is: Could use more Rune Priests, but I say that about anything 40k.

Can't believe it's been 4 mths since I finished a book.
We do need more Rogue Trader stories.
Some great void battles and I was not expecting one revelation (no spoilers).
Hopefully the sequal will arrive soon.
