The Lost and The Damned

This month we read the Space Wolves book Prospero Burns by Dan Abbnett. What does it mean when we cannot trust one man's memory? What makes a man a puppy boi? What the hell is going on logistically with Nikaea? We answer these questions and more. Hosts: Uncle (he/him) Faden Cross (they/them) Next Month’s book: Age of Darkness Cover art by Garin.

This month we read our first Aaron Dembski-Bowden book with The First Heretic. Finally after over a year we got what both hosts would agree is a “real ass” book.

We got another James Swallow book and unfortunately it wasn't very good. Its a good discussion even if we had to work to pull out anything we thought was interesting to talk about. At least we get some really funny scenes and one with the Emperor himself at his most Jesus coded.

Illness couldn’t stop us from finally talking about Graham McNeilll’s A Thousand Sons. What is the nature of magic and sorcery in the Imperium? How do the sons of the emperor react?

Uncle and Faden Cross read the tenth book of the Horus Heresy. This is our first anthology collection and it is a wonderful time. Maybe all Warhammer books should be short stories. Who’s to say?

Uncle and Faden Cross read the seventh book of the Horus Heresy. We are introduced to the secretive Alpha Legion. Perhaps one of the coolest Legions that we have encountered. Legion is a tale of lies, deceit and factional espionage. The most pathetic man we have read yet makes an appearance and we delight in him being really miserable.
