Warhammer Wednesday: Iron Hands - the eBook edition

I received a pleasant surprise on Friday when Black Library's weekly newsletter arrived in my email inbox.

That's right, my fourth novel (and my second set in the Warhammer 40,000 universe) is now available as a series of zeros and ones for your eReader of choice.

The Iron Hands Chapter is getting a lot of interest at the moment, thanks to Forge World's Horus Heresy range, but the novel Iron Hands is notable for one reason in particular. It was in that book that I created material that has since become canon in the 40K universe, particularly the names of some of the Iron Hands Clan Companies that you will now find in the latest edition of the Space Marines Codex (just as material that I first wrote for Codex: Chaos formed a vital part of the narrative behind the Battlefleet Gothic game, some of which has more recently appeared in the digital Black Legion Codex: Chaos Space Marines supplement*).

So there you go. You can pick up your eBook version of Iron Hands direct from Black Library here.


* Namely the Eye of Night and Hand of Darkness.

Tie-in Tuesday: The Day of the Doctor

Are you as excited about this as I am?



No, I don't think you are*.


* Unless you happen to be Cav Scott.

** Funnily enough.

Abyss Gazing

In honour of Friedrich Nietzsche's 169th birthday today, a quote from the German philosopher himself...

"Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you."

Steampunk Tuesday: Unnatural History launches in Germany

That's right! Volume 1 of the Ulysses Quicksilver chronicles officially launches today in Germany, courtesy of German language publisher Luzifer-Verlag*.

This is the first foreign edition of one of my Pax Britannia books, and the first of all my published titles to be translated into German.**

Despite the fact that it's not supposed to be out yet, the book has already received a number of rave reviews from German-speaking fans.

To order your German edition of Unnatural History, follow this link.

* Who has already expressed an interest in translating Leviathan Rising into German too.

** There was some interest from a French publisher some years back, but he decided the books were just too English for a French market!

Thought for the Day

"Synopses and diagrams and character arcs are one thing, but a new book never feels real until I put a few thousand words of prose on its bones."
