another annoying channel for tourist

Chris Wraight has written stories about many legions including Death Guard, White Scars and your favourite Space Wolves. Considering you are reading or about to read Prospero Burns, you could ask for his take on the issue between Space Wolves and Thousand Sons. He has written at least one book of that conflict (Battle of The Fang) specifically.

That sounds like a cool anthology 😊 I just need to know what Warhammer books you have so if I see one you need I can grab it 😛

Waving hello from one hive city in the depths of night to another! 🤘😎

I think a few of us have been counting down to you reading this one...

Oh man, why does anyone read or write horror like that - thanks but no thanks all the same, it takes all sorts and all that 😮

Ha! I saw a huge wind farm in Michigan, enormous rotating blades on towers several stories tall... The first thing I thought of was Tripods and War of the Worlds. They kind of creeped me out. My daughter and son in law thought that was a bit odd.

Nightwatch brings back so many happy memories. I need to re-read every novel before I shuffle off this disc

Tiffany Aching, good with cheese.

Thanks for sharing your bookshelf Mira. Sorry for not being there live.

SadIy missed this one, was painting teeny tiny titans. Do love the old Eldar Codex, might be very rose tinted spectacles but I remember it being packed with great art and lore.

I've fallen very far behind while I've been listening to Horus Heresy audio books as my current pastime for the last few months. But having just finished Mechanicum, I'm gonna take a break and catch up on the next arc of Fighting Fantasy with Mira Manga!

Oversized books are definitely the enemy of any book classification system. They all lurk together no matter what category they should have been put in, like the big boys smoking behind the bike sheds.

Sorry I missed this live stream - the Mira Manga Grimdark Library seems to have a structure based on the Imperium of Mankind with each war zone (Sabbat Worlds, Holy Terrra) and Millennium (Horus Heresy, 40k) separated out into its own sub-sector.

Outrun? That was a game console clasic

Did you say dragonlance Chronicles?

Question of Chris: Is there going to be a sequel to Bloodlines? And will Warhammer Crime series continue going forward?

Read a few of the warhammer crime books. The graphic depiction of mass servitor production still haunts me.

One last Question for Wraight (and so I can show off my new membership status ;) ) "You have written perhaps more Death Guard than any other current Black Library author and "Lords of Silence" is near universally beloved. Aren't You just the author to finally give Typhus his big character-focused novel or series like what John French has done for Ahriman?"

My question is how come he's so good at making me cry

Question for either Chris or Ian (or Mira, of course): do you think that Noir / Detective / Crime novels generally serve the political satire aspect of 40K better or worse than grand battlefields full of crazy super soldiers? (and does that even matter to you?)

I've listened/read this book so often, love it, never gets old. Love the deep look into the common life of the 40k grim mundane darkness.

hopefully you too will become a word bearer fan and a ultramarine hater from the horus heresy, mira. fingers crossed! absolutely love the warhammer crime books. hope we get more of them again soon.

Another Question for Wraight: "You spoke in the afterword of "Warhawk" about your frustration with accusations of death-guard anti-bias. How does those labels affect you, given that you have used the Death Guard (extremely successfully in my opinion) as antagonists in both your Space Wolves and White Scars series as well as have them be the protagonists in your amazing "Lords of Silence" novel?

Question for Wraight: "You have written some of the larger and more explosive novels (Ie. Warhawk from Siege of Terra) How does the writing of those compare to these "smaller" and more focused novels about the lives of little people?"

Sorry to criticize but the thumbnail is unflattering. It looks like you’re toasting with some sort of mango cocktail! 😁

Roughly where in Segmentum Tempestus is Alecto? I'm sure Chris kept it vague on purpose, but it would be great to know if he had an area in mind. I ask because Tempestus is a somewhat under used region, yet you have a few big lore threads like the invasions of the Orpheus sector (Necrons) and Forsarr Sector (Ork invasion), the explosions of Siren's Storm, etc. that haven't been tied up. It would be mighty helpful for a campaign/modest piece of fiction. Is Alecto aligned with a particular Forge World? Lastly, what is the character he has most enjoyed writing, and why is it Tanau Aleya? Has the revelation that there are female Custodians changed how he will approach that character in the future (I felt that her character dealt with a theme of male privilege as part of the larger tension between SoS & Custodies)?

Bloodlines is a great book! I would have one question. Is the serpent cult in Varangantua somehow connected to the Serpent Lodge from Davin? Of course, I don't think they are the same sect but maybe far relatives. Is there any Chaos tomfoolery involved at all?

Emperor's Blessings!

One of the few series I've actually listened to on audible. Awesome series so far.

Get better soon Mira. Two questions for Chris of you have the time - how difficult is it to have such a wide universe to deal with with planning a crime novel, usually noirs are contained to small cities. How was it planning the novel with such a grandiose landscape. 2nd, who is his favourite White Scar and why is it Shiban 😅

Question for Chris: are more Zidarov stories in the pipeline, and how does he feel about the Warhammer Crime/Varangantua series as a whole? Would he like to see Varangantua feature in the wider Indomitus-era narrative, or keep it as a separate self-contained corner of the 40K universe?

Okay two questions for Chris 1) Were any fictional detectives inspiration for the main character? and 2) What are the differences between writing about Space Marines and normal human characters? Feel better soon Mira.

What a completely ridiculous subject 😂 great fun ❤
