The Horus Heresy: Knight Errant box set - Out this month!

A few weeks back I talked about the digital release of Ashes of Fealty, the latest Horus Heresy audio story in the saga of Nathaniel Garro - and now there's a new way to get the adventures of Garro in the form of Knight Errant, a complete 8-disc box set featuring all of his adventures to date...

The Horus Heresy has seen many heroes rise and fall, and few have risen higher than Nathaniel Garro. A scion of the XIV Legion, the Death Guard, Garro came to prominence after his dramatic escape from the battle on Isstvan III that doomed so many Imperial loyalists to death (in The Flight of the Eisenstein).

Recruited by Malcador the Sigillite as his Agentia Primus, he gather warriors who might just change the course of the Horus Heresy – or the Imperium itself.

Long has been the road of Nathaniel Garro. After surviving the treachery of Isstvan III and the terror of his escape aboard the Eisenstein, he has become a paragon of loyalty and protector of the innocent. Whilst his Death Guard brothers faltered and fell, his belief in Emperor and Throne remained true.

For his charge is a most sacred one, given unto him by none other than Malcador the Sigillite, to recruit the Knights Errant and lay the foundation for a secretive order dedicated to the eradication of Chaos.

The set includes the audio dramas Oath of Moment, Legion of One, Sword of Truth, Shield of Lies, Burden of Duty and Ashes of Fealty - that's seven hours of action along with downloadable artwork and wallpapers by Neil Roberts, and full PDFs of every production script.

Embrace What You Have Become - Deus Ex: Mankind Divided is coming..

Back in October of 2013, I told the world that I was part of the writing team working on the next installment of the Deus Ex game franchise; and in the year and a half since then, as things have progressed, there hasn't been much I could officially say.

From today, that starts to change. It gives me great pleasure to show off this awesome reveal trailer for the newest iteration of the Deus Ex Universe - two years have passed since the shattering conclusion of Human Revolution, and Adam Jensen is about to enter the world of Deus Ex: Mankind Divided...

 

 

The Listeners - Judge Dredd Crime Chronicles: Double Zero

Each month, the folks who create the excellent audio dramas at Big Finish Productions run an open participation discussion called The Listeners, in which they discount a play for download and ask the audience to weigh in with their opinions...

April's Listeners title is one of mine - Double Zero, an entry in the Judge Dredd: Crime Chronicles series starring Toby Longworth as Dredd, and Doctor Who's Louise Jameson as Psi-Judge Cassandra Anderson from the pages of the Galaxy's Greatest Comic 2000AD! The story will be available at just £2.99 on digital download until the end of the month.

 
Double Zero: on the Mills-Wagner scale of psychic potentiality, this rating is ranked as the lowest possible level of human telepathic receptability and/or psionic ability. [See also: mind-blind; mundane; pariah effect, brain burn] - Excerpt from the Justice Department Psi-Division Operations Manual.

When a strange premonition draws Psi-Judge Cassandra Anderson to her fellow law officer Joe Dredd, what begins as an inkling of something sinister soon becomes a matter of life and death.

With telepathic secret agents from a dozen city-states infiltrating the Big Meg in search of a psychic weapon called 'the pariah', Anderson and Dredd find themselves in a race against time to save the life of an innocent child - with the power to start a war.

You can download a digital copy of Judge Dredd: Crime Chronicles - Double Zero by clicking Here; also, check out the latest issue of Big Finish's free magazine Vortex, which features a short interview with me about the play, or take part in the discussion about the story at this dedicated thread over on the BF forums...

All That Remains - New Horus Heresy eBook out now!

The Imperial Truth was a limited edition Horus Heresy anthology released in back in 2013, just 2000 hardcover copies available at special events and the like; but now the stories have been re-released for a wider audience in eBook form, and that includes a tale by me called All That Remains.

The blurb says:

As Horus’s rebellion consumes the galaxy, the dead number in the billions – far greater, however, are the countless casualties evacuated from front line duties to tend their wounds and someday return to the fight. On one particular vessel cast adrift in the warp, a handful of ragged Imperial Army soldiers make a startling discovery, and the question of why so many more of their comrades have been lost is soon answered...
 
Get ready for a mystery like no other. A derelict ship harbouring sick and dying men gets caught up in a secret mission straight from the Emperor's right hand man, Malcador, to create a new army to save the Imperium. Too bad the citizens on board don’t know that. This story is a fascinating revelation about the birth of the Grey Knights and exactly how the seeds of their Chapter were sown.

You can pick up a digital copy of All That Remains right Here or just go all in and grab the full Imperial Truth eBook collection Here.
