As December progresses, with now only a few more days before 'the big birthday', here's a collection of recent Black Library releases from their 2017 advent series; yup, I'm in them - somewhere!
And so, in reverse order of release after Heart of Decay, ( ie: the most recent is at the top ), which I mentioned in a previous posting, here are the stories so far:
The Rage of Asmodai
A Warhammer 40,000 audio drama
Captain
Vidarna of the Relictors finds a mission to capture a Chaos artefact
complicated by Dark Angels Chaplain Asmodai, who has his own sinister
mission.
Captain Vidarna of the Relictors leads a squad of his brothers in
pursuit of a dark artefact on a world riven by heresy. But the
appearance of Chaplain Asmodai of the Dark Angels changes his mission.
The Dark Angel claims to have the relic they seek – but to claim it, the
Relictors need to aid him in capturing the leader of the rebellion, a
mysterious black-armoured Space Marine whose armour bears symbols
similar to that of the Dark Angels themselves…
John Banks, Steve Conlin, Jonathan Keeble, Toby Longworth & Saul Reichlin
Written by CZ Dunn & Produced by Matt Renshhaw
A Place of Reflection
A Warhammer Age of Sigmar audio drama
Moribus
of the Sons of Mallus seeks a deadly foe in the labyrinths of
Shadespire. But in a land of shattered glass and twisted reflections,
can he trust what he sees – or even his own memories?
Moribus, Stormcast Eternals Decimator of the Sons of Mallus, wanders the
glass labyrinths of Shadespire, alone. Somewhere out of sight, his
brothers can be heard, and together they search for a dangerous
creature, a malignant spirit that haunts this wasteland.
This foe
carries a cache of shardglass, which Sigmar hopes can cure the Stormcast
Eternals of the degradations that come with their reforging. As Moribus
remembers his many deaths to focus his mind, he begins to doubt his
senses and reality – and danger beckons.
John Banks, Tim Bruce, Cliff Chapman, Steve Conlin, Melvyn Rawlinson & Andrew Wincott.
Written by David Guymer & Produced by Matt Renshaw
First Lord Of The Imperium
A Primarchs audio drama
Malcador the Sigillite sits
vigil by the bed of a dying friend and the two discuss the past, present
and future – and revelations are made.
As the Horus Heresy rages and the death toll rises, one more will be
added to the numberless dead: Sibel Niasta, personal astropath to the
First Lord of the Imperium, Malcador the Sigillite.
As her end
approaches, Malcador sits vigil by her bedside, and pair discuss their
friendship and what it means – how the past and present have shaped
Malcador and the Imperium, and what the future holds.
