DarkChaplain Posted September 29, 2016 Author Share Posted September 29, 2016 The Walker in Fire is included in Deathwatch: Ignition. Shas'o and/or Tau Empire include A Sanctuary of Wyrms, Out Caste and Fire and Ice, and you'd best pick up the paperback of Tau Empire as it costs way less than Shas'o and includes all of Shas'o plus the Farsight novella released alongside it. Fire Caste might give you trouble getting a print copy of. Looks like it sold out, so you'll have to find a used copy on ebay or Amazon, I'm afraid.

DukeLeto69 Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 So I have just read the Gnestealer short story. My first Fehervari (man that is a hard name to spell) story. AWESOME. Thanks for the recommendation DC I will definitely be picking up this authors past and future work now. I loved it. The prose. The atmosphere. As has been said, very grim dark and mature. We need more of this kind of work and less bolter porn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeritorA Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 yeah, thanks DC. Another author to interview . But I'm excited about your recommendation so I'll pick this one up next weekend. Please, please do interview him - he is a very talented fella and it's sad that he hasn't been given a lot of prominent stuff to write (khm khm Kyme khm khm......)

Kilofix Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 So on a related note, I was thinking, if I were running things; I would let a Cult populate a mining world; quarantine it; reap its high output; then nuke it from orbit once resources are depleted. I might even be promoted to Administratus Assistant Secundus Grade. Or assissanitated by Ordo Xenos... it's a toss up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taliesin Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 I'm 33% through the novel and enjoying it massively. Really spot on depiction of the cults, with the usual thick atmosphere and plenty of ties to Fehervari's other works. If you've read Fire Caste and Fire and Ice, you'll even see some more or less familiar characters again. Did you finish it, and what did you think?

HeritorA Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 I could only say that Peter Fehervari is the only author in BL so far, whose every book i reread several times - because they are amazeballs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you've read Fire Caste and Fire and Ice, you'll even see some more or less familiar characters again. Did you finish it, and what did you think? I put it aside for a while to finish reading another book. Took Fehervari a chapter to have me back in the thick of it as if nothing happened. Am two parts through now and everything's going to hell - and I bloody love it. The action so far has been on point, not overdone, and used to escalate the plot bit by bit. The ties you can find to Fire and Ice are thickening, which is lovely. The book was also pretty nonchalant about the cult-infections: ‘What about Ophele?’ Ariken asked suddenly. She ignored the looks the officers threw her way, some puzzled, others angered by her presumption. ‘What happened to her, shepherd? And all the others?’Bharlo sighed. ‘The last time I saw Ophele she was two months pregnant, though it looked closer to six. Their spawn grow fast.’ He shook his head. ‘She was overjoyed because she’d been honoured by the cult Iconward.’ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelborn Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 First impression: cool stuff, nice that someone writes in that nonchalant way Second impression: wait...YUCK! oO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkChaplain Posted October 5, 2016 Author Share Posted October 5, 2016 Exactly. But since its about a character you read about early in the book and can empathize with, you're doubly disgusted by the Cult and all its implications. It'd have been easy to just never talk about those people again, or just blanket-state that they've joined up, but making it clear in such a way? That's a whole different level of horror that I can appreciate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkChaplain Posted October 11, 2016 Author Share Posted October 11, 2016 Of course. There's so many neat connections to his other works... I honestly want more about the surviving characters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We definitely need a new novel - where all the 'survivors' from the previous Fehervari books (Fire Caste, Fire and Ice, shorts, Genestealers Cult) met to win a day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkChaplain Posted October 21, 2016 Author Share Posted October 21, 2016 I don't think Fehervari will ever allow any of his characters to achieve a clear victory. It is always pyrrhic with him, and everything gets even more scars out of it than they started with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even pyrrhic is still a victory And in W40K there are not so many of them - if SMs are not included Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
