Books In The Post (11.03.2012)

Okay, I'm sure, if you're a regular book blog follower, you'll know what the score is by now when somebody posts something titled Books In The Post, In My Mailbox or something else along those lines. And anyway, I thought I might as well jump on the bandwagon. This'll be an odd feature, basically appearing every-time some books I get through my door. Sometimes I'll get five separate deliveries within one week, whilst other times there'll be weeks without one of these posts. This is pretty much an All-Black Library Haul today, so yeah. Hope you enjoy. 


First off, we have the novel Void Stalker, by Aaron Dembski-Bowden, the third and final instalment in the popular Night Lords Trilogy:



VOID STALKER by Aaron Dembski-Bowden (Night Lords #3)
Published by Black Library. 

The hunters have become the hunted. The Night Lords flee to the dark fringes of the Imperium to escape their relentless pursuers – the Eldar of Craftworld Ulthwé. Their flight takes them to the carrion world of Tsagualsa, where their Primarch died and their Legion was broken. There, history will repeat itself as a deadly assassin stalks the shadows, and the Night Lords are drawn into a battle they are destined to lose.

ARCHITECT OF FATE by Various Authors (Space Marine Battles #10)
Published by Black Library.

Collected for the first time, all four parts of the Architect of Fate novella series are presented in a single printed volume. The infamous Kairos Fateweaver, greater daemon of Tzeentch and master of manipulation, has discovered the limits of his power – even one so prescient as he cannot divine beyond the event horizon at the end of the 41st Millennium.

The Space Marines stand against the darkness, and yet on countless battlefields they play unwitting roles in the schemes of Fateweaver. From the doomed world of Ilissus, through the embattled corridors of the Endeavour of Will, to the borders of the Eye of Terror itself – friend and foe alike follow the great plan that he set in motion many thousands of years ago. But not even the Architect of Fate himself can foresee the destiny that lies in wait for him...

TIME OF LEGENDS: DEAD WINTER by CL Werner (The Black Plague #1)

More than a thousand years after the Age of Sigmar, the Empire he struggled to create rests on the edge of destruction – the reign of the greedy and incompetent Emperor Boris Goldgather has shaken down the great and prosperous edifice of his erstwhile realm. Without warning, a terrible and deadly plague strikes, wiping out entire villages and leaving towns eerily silent through the long frozen months.

When the twisted Dark Mechanicus priests of the Bloodborn descend upon Quintarn, the Ultramarines are quick to move in defence of their prized agri-world. However, it soon becomes apparent that the planet’s fate will not be decided by the massed battle companies of the Space Marines, but by the actions of just one lowly sergeant – Torias Telion. A master marksman and Scout with a long history of service to the Chapter, Telion must now face the worst of the Bloodborn’s technological terrors and secure the city of Idrisia from the enemy advance, if the Ultramarines are to have any hope of prevailing against an enemy whose numbers swell with every victory.
