Captain Semper Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 So, I just received my DV box along with the novel! :yes: In the first page there is a list of other books with DA theme available from BL... The last one is called The Book of the Lion and is supposed to be a DA anthology coming out in January 2013. This is the first I see or hear about it! Has anybody heard anything relevant? Is it going to be an anthology with new stories or a compilation of old ones? In any case I'm really excited about it! A lot of love has been bestowed on the DAs with Malediction, DV (boxed set, novel and audio drama), the expected Ravewing book in January and the Book of the Lion also in January I really can't complain! If the topic has come up before I apologize... Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/260483-the-book-of-the-lion/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isiah Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 Good spot. Heard nothing. And nothing on BL's site either unless I missed it. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/260483-the-book-of-the-lion/#findComment-3169484 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPWolf12 Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 I saw this too and I was like this for like 5 mins :) I am getting ready to spend more money; hopefully, the pre-order is before Christmas before my wallet gets drained.

WatchCaptainAzrael Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 The hopeful in me wants it to be a series of short stories about the different Unforgiven chapters. The cynic is utterly convinced it'll be a shameless cash grab with short stores about the DA published in the past.

Brother-Sergeant Bohemond Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 More and more, I am convinced that we will be getting an amazing new codex very soon.

Captain Semper Posted September 8, 2012 Author Share Posted September 8, 2012 So all these books... Do you think that GW will try to justify some changes in the mainstream fluff? The Ravenwing book is just the first of a DA trilogy btw... Edit: I'm sensing that they want to give some more depth to the RW... What with the Dark Vegeance novella and a book dedicated to it... For one thing, in the DV novella it appears that RW is more than a specialized formation, its a step closer to the Inner Circle according to our new Chappie...

Reinen Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 So all these books... Do you think that GW will try to justify some changes in the mainstream fluff? The Ravenwing book is just the first of a DA trilogy btw... The plot of 'Ravenwing' begins with that the Chapter receives the farewell letter of Boreas. It follows from author's answers at a forum of BL. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/260483-the-book-of-the-lion/#findComment-3170008 Share on other sites More sharing options...
WatchCaptainAzrael Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 I don't think it will be something flashy, as an investigation into the schedule of january 2013 BL releases actually shows no such title scheduled. It could also be a flashy name for the new 'dex... Jussayan'.

'Dark Vengeance' too wasn't in releases of BL. Though, I am confused by the word "anthology". Most likely, it is the collection of old stories.

Isiah Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 Though, I am confused by the word "anthology". Most likely, it is the collection of old stories. Agreed. An anthology means a collection of poems or other pieces of writing, usually short, whether published previously or not isn't specified. An omnibus on the other hand, is the correct term for previously written longer material published in one volume – BL's have several chapter-specific omnibus already. I'm hoping it's new material :devil: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/260483-the-book-of-the-lion/#findComment-3170169 Share on other sites More sharing options...
