Does not the Horus Heresy series have 52 books in total? I do not understand why we had to wait till the series ended to get the following revealed in the Dropsite Massacre.

Are there any rumors of Black Library's new novels announcement/reveal event in December or in Q1 next year?

@Nagashsnee Can you please delete your comment? I was able to fix the spoiler images myself. I fixed my earlier picture post too. All taken care of :)

I always rate authors fairly, but I have a nagging feeling that because Goodreads has no way to verify purchases or if the reviewer actually read the book, some people take advantage of this loophole to post an incorrect review, either positive or negative, based on their agenda.

I am not going to be purchasing Ashes of the Imperium standard hardcover based on this information about the plot details I got from Reddit. I am not even reading the pirated Epub. I will completely skip it and read the future book in the series that covers the details (see reddit screenshot) about the faction and character mentioned. This is the first time ever I am using the Spoiler feature (the reddit screenshot is the spoiler) so MODS if you can please edit my post to make the screenshot the spoiler that would be nice as I am not sure if I am doing it properly.

It could be that for books that are part of planned trilogies, BL is putting more competent and highly experienced authors in charge, like Guy Haley or Chris Wraight. I did not like the last book in the Dark Imperium series. I thought Godblight was pretty average. However, the first and second books (Dark Imperium, Plague War) had quite solid writing. I also think that the first two books in John French's second Ahriman trilogy were not too decent. The Ahriman books by John French focus too much on enmity and rivalries between Thousand Sons sorcerer factions rather than on Tzeentchian corruption of baseline humans or Imperial Space Marines becoming influenced by Tzeentch and turning to Chaos. I know that the Mephiston Blood Angels series had a way better focus on Tzeentch's malicious influence on humans in comparison to the Ahriman series by John French.

I do not like that Julius Kaesoron is missing from the character list. When was the last novel or short story in which Julius Kaesoron appeared as a character with dialogue? His absence from the recent Emperor's Children novels indicates that his rumoured ascension to Daemon Prince status in 40k is not going to be discussed anytime soon. Regarding 40k Chaos novels, Valrak was saying in one of his YouTube videos that in 40k we still do not have a novel where the god-aligned Chaos faction primarchs speak with each other, so there is no mention of Fulgrim speaking with Magnus or Mortarion interacting with Angron in 40k yet, not even in the campaign books. You know what, friends, I think I have made my mind up about 40k book purchases. The Dropsite Massacre is fine because it is in the Horus Heresy series, so I did indeed pre-order the hardcover; however, concerning 40k novels, I have decided after having very average reading experiences with Lords of Excess, Remnant Blade, Harrowmaster, etc., that from now on I will only buy those 40k novels that are explicitly part of a planned trilogy like the Dark Imperium books. I will not buy the standalone 40k novels. As others have expressed the opinion, to which I completely agree, that the Dawn of Fire series was lacklustre and not an engaging series. I think for 40k novels, the books that are part of a longer series, for example, more than 8 books in a series, are those I am not going to buy. But for books like the Blood Angels Mephiston series, the Dark Imperium series, the excellent Fabius Bile trilogy, or the 2 series by Chris Wraight, which are part of shorter series (most often trilogies), those I am definitely going to pre-order and buy.

I like John French's Horus Heresy writings. However, the Dropsite Massacre still has not sold out on Warhammer.com. It is still showing as available. Could not selling out on the website be a sign of abundance of stock or lack of interest in the novel?

https://a.co/d/1Dwaoxz How come this book is releasing on November 18 on Amazon Canada? and October 25 (pre-order on October 11) from Warhammer.com? Two different dates for the same book? What is the strategy?

https://a.co/d/9UHEBgW Dropsite Massacre by John French moved up from December to November 18 https://a.co/d/0N7dvam The Dark Coil: Ascension launching November 4 https://a.co/d/0JHvKNh This is the most significant delay: Ashes of the Imperium by Chris Wraight moved from next month, October, to December 16 https://www.fnac.com/a21832736/The-Horus-Heresy-Les-Cendres-de-l-Imperium-Chris-Wraight According to Fnac Ashes of the Imperium is releasing even later in January 2026 https://www.fnac.com/a21597727/Warhammer-40-000-Maitre-des-Rites-Rob-Young Master of Rites by Rob Young moved to December

I tried to add the Remnant Blade by Mike Vincent to my shopping cart in English Canada five times. Every time, it said on top, "Insufficient stock amount."
