DukeLeto69 Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 Never_born has done some truly great work on his blog. What an exciting line up for 2017! I am unashamedly going to lift a direct piece of content from that blog... --------------------- So with some new books confirmed, here’s what we know is coming up in the numbered series: Book 41: The Master of Mankind by Aaron Dembski-Bowden Book 42: Garro by James Swallow Book 43: TBC Book 44: The Crimson King by Graham McNeill Book 45: Ruinstorm by David Annandale Book 46: TBC Book 47: Old Earth by Nick Kyme Books 43 and 46 were asked about, with Laurie unwilling to give any details – primarily it seemed because it hasn’t yet been decided which order in which they’re going to go. ---------------- What do people think 43 and 46 could be? We know that Laurie has said there are ALSO three other books to be written BEFORE we reach the Siege of Terra. So what could they be? Only two I can think of are Doom of the Deathguard and a book wrapping up the War on Mars. Also with the recent Garro and Corax omnibuses as numbered volumes (I see them as omnibuses rather than anthologies and certainly not self contained novels) I would at least expect (and hope) we get an omnibus release for Tallarn which if they follow the precedent will be numbered.

Tymell Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 My guess for 43 and 46 would be anthologies/omnibuses. Looking at what's left, I could see another 5 to collect what's left: one for Tallarn, one for the Betrayal at Calth books, one for the Salamanders novellas (Promethean Sun, Scorched Earth, Sons of the Forge), one for Shattered Legions (Meduson, The Seventh Serpent, Blackshield, maybe Cybernetica and Myriad) and one for Wolf King + other shorts released recently. And there may well be more than that to come (I think an anthology based around the Solar War itself would be great). As for the main books left to come, Doom of the Death Guard he confirmed as one, Mars could be another as you say. I could also see the Wolf Cull, where Russ goes on the hunt for Horus, and maybe one focused on the Great Slaughter at Beta-Garmon. There's also always the chance they'll throw us a curveball we're not expecting.

To my knowledge, no, just a phrase taken from Forge World's Horus Heresy timeline. I'm assuming it refers to the Wolves going on the hunt for Horus, and that's what I'm hoping is covered in a novel. But I could be completely wrong about what it refers to :p Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/328226-horus-heresy-releases-we-know-about-but-what-next/#findComment-4574588 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkChaplain Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 We'll definitely get that gap plugged. Corax shows us what are basically the results of it, and we had the Wolves leave in The Path of Heaven. There's a good story to tell there. We might also get a look at Beta-Garmon before we reach Terra. It was referenced heavily in Weregeld, and Valerius seems to get us there, but the big spectacle that it is hasn't been covered in sufficient detail yet. With it being the stepping stone to Sol, it has to be talked about.

bluntblade Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 Sanguinius has to get to Terra. That'll involve punching through Lorgar's storms and the ranks of Horus' armies, so there's gotta be some material in there. Edit: oh wait, is that Ruinstorm?

Marshal Loss Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 So long as before the end I get... Wraight doing a DG novel (or at least the fall of the DG) in addition to Khan v. Mortarion Preferably Wraight covering the EC to some degree as well ADB doing as much of the Siege of Terra as possible, and preferably the duel itself Some coverage of where Abaddon is and what he is doing during the Siege ...I will be a very happy chap.

bluntblade Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 It'd be good to see the World Eaters in transition, in the wake of Angron's ascension. They've been offscreen for some time now.

Yeah, there are a few of the traitors I'd like to see a "catch-up" on. Not necessarily another full novel, but something to see what they've been up to. It feels like the earlier part of the series focused more on the traitor legions (which makes sense since they were the ones turning after all), but more recently the focus has been on the loyalists. We haven't seen much of the Word Bearers or World Eaters since the Shadow Crusade, nor much of the Sons of Horus since Molech. One faction of the Emperor's Children got good time in Path of Heaven, but Fulgrim and the rest of the legion has largely been absent since (again) Molech. But this also might be something we can see more of in upcoming FW books too.

DarkChaplain Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 I'd be happy to see another novella collection, or a short story anthology, something like The Primarchs or Mark of Calth, to catch up some of the (minor) plotlines leading up to Terra, or even one with scenes of the Siege when we get to it. Eidolon and co seem to be tackled in Wraight's story for Revelations, by the by.

Tymell Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 Old Earth is Nick Kyme's third Salamanders novel, concerning Vulkan and his destiny. I recall readibgbthat it'll also have Meduson & Marr's thread in there.

Tymell Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 Don't you think it's a tad on the harsh side to label a book you haven't read a single word of (which isn't even finished) as "a horrible abomination"? It's one thing to dislike an author's work to date and decide, based on that, that you're not interested in more of it, but this just seems unnecessarily rude to the author.

It was referenced heavily in Weregeld, and Valerius seems to get us there, but the big spectacle that it is hasn't been covered in sufficient detail yet. With it being the stepping stone to Sol, it has to be talked about. from the oracle, laurie goulding, himself - - Beta-Garmon is one of the final milestones on the road to Terra. It is from the old-old background - like Paramar, a huge nexus for Great Crusade forces in decades past, and a vital route into the Segmentum Solar. Horus has to roll on through there if he wants to take Terra. - 'The Binary Succession' is an audio drama by David Annandale, and covers the founding of the Adeptus Titanicus. There is a lot of political posturing on Terra as the crisis of the war puts more pressure on the High Lords, and they are trying to send the Titan Legions to Beta-Garmon against their will, to defend from the approaching traitors. David and I joked while he was writing it that this is "Brexit with Titans" Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/328226-horus-heresy-releases-we-know-about-but-what-next/#findComment-4575580 Share on other sites More sharing options...
