German Amazon gives new information about possible release dates of new BL novels:

https://amzn.eu/d/02YXhDzc Hive 2

 

One releasing in August, one in September: German versions. Maybe this indicates that the English version will release in either June or July?

Thank you for going through the effort

I'm surprised there's been no Iron Warriors book to tie in. I'd have thought they would have had a novel with the new fella Kravek.

Lords of Silence by Chris Wraight finally releasing in paperback. Did the original hardcover ever get a mass market paperback release? This is the German version releasing in January next year, so the English version is probably releasing in December 2026.

I had thought both books were coming out simultaneously. More fool me.

a) If this Kravek-come-lately gets a book before Haarken Worldclaimer, I'll spew, b) never mind the new hotness, where's Honsou, who we literally last saw sitting down and getting the four-one-one from Perturabo, and c) I'm still salty about Perturabo in Ashes so I won't read it anyway harrumph.

 

Where's the next Scouring book, anyway?

The time that German editions arrive later than the English originals varies a lot, so its hard to determine what the August German release date will mean for the English one, except that it will be up for order no later than July.

Makropole actually sounds like a word Dan Abnett would invent for Hive City.

German aside its literal Greeklish for longcity.  Like pig latin and the rest of the setting haha GW loves that kind of wordplay.

English paperback was released in 2019.
