Sandlemad Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Bit of a necro on this but another Dark Hunters-related copyright infringement case has popped up: http://www.theguardian.com/books/2016/feb/10/sherrilyn-kenyon-sues-cassandra-clare-for-wilfully-copying-her-novels There's been other confirmations that it was a copyright issue that sunk Paul Kearney's book so looks like it's a more contested name than I thought.

Tiger9gamer Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 It's a shame that such a good book as the last detail is buried for having another name as a stupid romance novel. The books can probably be really easily edited to change the name as I don't remember them mentioning the chapter much. Still, glad I have the book.

Sandlemad Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 It is a shame, particularly that they only caught this, what, a week before release? http://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/northern-ireland/title-row-its-pulped-fiction-for-writer-paul-kearney-31155072.html A whole run pulped. I think I saw mention of it coming out under a different name but it may be BL will see how this new case falls out first.

Chaeron Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 I was just thinking about this the other day, and saw that Belfast Telegraph link! I'm really looking forward to this book - so hoping that it does come out at some point in future.

Apothecary Vaddon Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Got a hold of it before it was pulled, it's not bad. Pretty generic IMO. I guess I'd call it bland, but it had enough taste to be somewhat entertaining for most of it.

Dosjetka Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Well damn. What a bloody waste. But hey, I'm also hoping that the book will be released under a new title in the near future.

Apothecary Vaddon Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 I'd recommend it to a person new to 40k though, it's really a solid novel from that perspective.

What are the Dark Hunters like? Bland. Nothing like the WS at all. There's one dude who sort of still does things the old Chapter way but other than that they could be a successor to any Legion the way they're written.
