Missile Hits Fortress-Monastery in Tokyo
Okay, not a missile exactly. More like a package from my publisher.
I just received two advance author's copies of Rynn's World hot off the Black Library presses and, let me tell you, this one is a beauty. Bigger than a normal paperback (think omnibus size) and all shiny and cool with its full colour maps in the middle. Yeah, this is a good looking book. Of course, you can see that for yourselves in the image below.
And the page count? Minus the usual promotional pages at the back, the story runs in at 536 pages, the biggest book I've written so far.
I don't want to bang on about it too much, since it won't be in readers' hands until late January at the earliest, but don't forget that I'll be doing a video interview for Black Library TV in which I'll get to answer all your questions about Rynn's World and writing in general. I've had some questions from some of you already, but there's still time for more, so don't be shy. Just go to this site's Contact page to send me your questions directly.
For now, I'm cracking on with my Fear the Alien story. It's called Exhumed and sees the return of Deathwatch kill-team Talon Squad, heroes of my last short story, Headhunted.
As if the photo of Rynn's World wasn't cruel enough, here's the cover of Fear the Alien, just to get you all even more cranked up for next year. What can I say? I'm feeling malevolent today. (raises pinkie finger to side of mouth) Mwahahaha!
That's one meaty greenskin mutha! I can almost hear him roar just from looking at the pic. Nice one, Clint Langley!

The Deathwatch are back?
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!
Best news I've heard this week.
*victory dance*
Hi Steve,
Saw this photo over at BL's facebook, and it does look truely stunning. Good to see we'll get more bang for our buck with 530+ pages and superb presentation! Maps always give you a good sense of context, i saw Graham McNeil did this recently in Courage & Honour and the reader really got a sense of what was happening where .... Now to drink myself into a stupor until January!
Bugger!
Now the wait for Courage and Gonour just got harder. Me and my stupid "all my books have to match" mentality.
Thankfully I'm sure the Crimson Fists and awesome DeathWatch will keep me more than entertained in the mean time.
And I just thought of a question to ask for the video I interveiw thingy. Needs a shade of refinements so I'll send it when I get home.
Awesome sauce and thanks Alastair for reminding me of what I said on facebook on the subject matter of Rynn's World.
