Born To Us by Dan Abnett (Short Story Review)

Black Library started its trend of micro-shorts back in 2012 and it is something that has really caught on since. With a word-length ranging from 1,000-2,000 words, these shorts are great teasers for various characters and events within Warhammer 40,000 and Warhammer Fantasy Battles. Dan Abnett kicked off the 2012 Black Library Advent Calendar with his Inquisition short story Born To Us, which I loved since it satisfied my desire to read more Eisenhorn, a character I love dearly.

Pariah by Dan Abnett (Book Review)

Coming in at the end of 2012, Dan Abnett’s Pariah was one of my most anticipated reads of the year. The start of a new Inquisition trilogy, dubbed Eisenhorn vs Ravenor, the novel promised much in its premise, which is why I was so excited for it. But unfortunately the reality didn’t pan out, not at all. Now, Pariah has the unfortunate distinction of one of the worst novels from Black Library I’ve read to date. It just didn’t work for me, not on any level, and I was sorely disappointed with it. As it turned out, my review also turned out to be one of the most contentious I’ve ever written and my opinion on it seems to be among a very, very small minority of the fans.

Thorn and Talon by Dan Abnett (Audio Review)

Among the very first Black Library audios that I listened to was Dan Abnett’s masterpiece Thorn and Talon. Containing three audios set across the timeline of Dan’s Eisenhorn and Ravenor trilogies, it was a pretty damn good audio, one that set a very high bar for others that followed. Even now, almost three years after it was first published, it still remains as one of Black Library’s finest audios, due in no small part to the excellent voice-acting. The audio made my “Best of 2012 Part 1” list as well so it is highly recommended!
