Thank you for the review of my Warhammer 40K short story Nightsider Imperialis @goonhammer.com & @lenoongh.bsky.social!
It's in the Darkness Eternal Black Library anthology & features some of the characters from my novel Deathworlder.
So if you want more Adair, this is where you can find her;-) 🖤

Panicked as I lost track of time and missed the opening of today’s preorder window for the Special Edition of Steel Tread (considering the article I’m in the middle of writing the irony is delicious)
Luckily there were still copies available at 1:04pm. 🤔

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.
