Mellow Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 Couldn’t see a thread on this one which surprised me for a numbered novel. Enjoyed it as I’d not read any of the entries before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taliesin Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 Picked it up at the Weekender, largely because it has all of the stories from last year's Advent in it which I had not read yet and which were very well received here. Also because of Swallow's story which is a prelude to Doom of the Death Guard novel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkChaplain Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 We had one quite a few months back, when it was announced: http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/348225-hh-52-heralds-of-the-siege/ I didn't read all the stories they included yet, though I'm missing only 2 or 3 maybe. Generally, the collection is fantastic from a quality standpoint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orwell84 Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 Full contents: Dark Compliance & Now Peals Midnight by John French The Painted Count & Duty Waits by Guy Haley Dreams of Unity by Nick Kyme Children of Sicarus by Anthony Reynolds Myriad & The Ember Wolves by Rob Sanders Exocytosis by James Swallow The Grey Raven, Valerius & The Board is Set by Gav Thorpe Blackshield, The Last Son of Prospero, The Soul, Severed & Magisterium by Chris Wraight Out as an mp3 audio now as well. Is Restorer (Chris Wraight) too new to have been included? Evidently. This raises a question - if book 54 is the final publication, will the remaining shorts and audios not be collected into a single book? Wasn't there a pledge at some point that all the shorts, novellas and audios would be made available in mainstream books? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petitioner's City Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 Has anyone worked out what shorts and other publications aren't in universally available print? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b1soul Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 Parts of Restorer occur during the Siege...so maybe it doesn't fit "Heralds" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think BL starting a Siege of Terra subseries leaves the door well and truly open for more cleanup later. There's a bunch of stuff worth collecting still, not least of all the two novellas released yesterday. Chances are, while the series is over for the time being and moving on to the Siege, they might go back and add more at a later point, when there's a reason to do so or enough material to fill another anthology.

Red_Shift Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 I started reading it last night and I'm four short stories down so far, all very enjoyable. Good light evening entertainment for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkChaplain Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 Myriad was one of the weakest in the anthology to me. It started out interesting but then dropped what it was up to in favor of hyping the AI again, for futures unknown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red_Shift Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 I enjoyed myriad. I love the references to dark age technology. I wasn't as keen on Ember Wolves. I felt it was a bit one sided although ursus claws seem like a cool concept. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
