Kor'Vesh Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 I know Nick's stuff isn't everyone's favourite, but I'm always glad to see a few more Salamanders turning up. Hopefully we'll get some decent characters and proof that Vulkan Lives! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hesh Kadesh Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 The plot Sallies steal 'dead' Vulkan from Imperium Secundus and travel across the eye of terror to return the body of vulkan to Mt Deathfire in an effort to fulfil his ancient prophecy. So, apart from Terra itself, the greatest fortress in the Imperium, the Salamanders break in, to steal the body of their insane mutilated Primarch, journeying through the ruinstorm to throw his body into a volcano. Good leadership skills, Sallies! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uprising Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 The plot It is basically lord of the ring where vulkan the ring, and the hobbits are genetically engineer super soldiers..... Nick kyme can write, except his pacing is always off. At least the cover is epic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

depthcharge12 Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Why do people not like nick? Hurrah for more salamanders. Also cover looks nice. His writing is just slow and meh in my opinion. It takes him forever to get to something interesting. I've tried reading his stuff but I have to put it down and go read things like Iron Within to reconstitute myself. He's one of the only BL writers that I've read that I can't read stuff in one sitting - it's just boring to me. When ADB or Abnett or hell even McNeill write something (the bald triad), I don't eat, sleep, or breath until I'm done finishing their latest novel. But that's just my opinion of him, feel free to like him or not if you wish :) I do think the cover is really awesome though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlson793 Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Any reliable ETA on this, Atia? Lexicanum has it as a July release; Amazon mid-November. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olis Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Nice cover and a good title. Not my favourite author but he's not at the bottom of the pile, in my estimation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spu00sed Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 The plot It is basically lord of the ring where vulkan the ring, and the hobbits are genetically engineer super soldiers..... Nick kyme can write, except his pacing is always off. At least the cover is epic. Though I like the lord of the ring. I don't think it would work in space with space marines as hobbits. Getting the mainres to sing a song every oer chapter just wouldn't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hesh Kadesh Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Firey fire marines of firey fire death with flaming fires caused by firey flamers and branding and burning volcanos ANVIL fire dragons fire fire FIRE I am a firestarter a twisted firestarter Seriously? Good writer? Pacing is the least of his issues (well, as a writer, not really, but considering that his characterisation is... frankly pathetic to call a spade a spade, considering his writing style consists of him right clicking on word and looking for word, comparatively, yes.) This is both unimaginative, inane rubbish, the type of drivel that sounds like it would better belong in a Space Marine Battles novel. I can't imagine ADB being too happy with my negativity towards his fellow authors who he probably holds in high personal regard, but if it was down to me, only ADB would be writing the series (nor can I imagine him being too happy with that lot in life). Maybe John French if he has Crimson Fist hat on and Chris Wraight with his Scars hat, but everyone else can just take a running jump. I'll be getting this to read exactly how bad it is.

helterskelter Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Is it a novel or novella? Coz 400+ words on getting a body home seems a touch excessive to me. Ive been pining for a new novel, the anthologies are beginning to wear thin. This series is almost kicking and screaming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackoption Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Is it a novel or novella? Coz 400+ words on getting a body home seems a touch excessive to me. Ive been pining for a new novel, the anthologies are beginning to wear thin. This series is almost kicking and screaming Some how I doubt it will be as simple as sailing for Nocturne during the Ruinstorm warpstorm caused by Lorgar. I for one, will wait for the book to come out before I pass judgement. But my money is on Vulkan returning alive by the end of the novel. Whether or not it is from his innate resurrection ability or a warp pact with a daemon however.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Red Thirst Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Nice find Atia ;-)...your rumour powers grow stronger by the day hehe Now for a release date and for them to stop making every bloody release ltd edition lol Feels like I haven't bought a book in ages Sad to say this will never happen brother. My first reaction: "Yay, Salamanders.... again...." *rolls eyes* Do the 'High Lords' not understand that there are 20 Legions to play with.... not the same 4/5 over and over -_- My second reaction: Pfft will probably only be a Limited Edition Novella [not novel] anyway GIVE ME MASTER OF MANKIND!!!

Brother Heinrich Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Its going to take a miracle for me to forgive Nick Kyme for "Vulkan Lives". Seriously, I'd rather have more gut-crunching Sons of Horus breacher action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
