WARHAMMER FICTION


THE WRAITHBONE PHOENIX

Picture
Copyright (2022) Games Workshop Limited
The sequel to the Warhammer Crime audio drama Dredge Runners

​"A brilliant central pairing... hard to put down – pacy, inventive and constantly compelling."
Track of Words
​

"What do you get when you mix Ocean’s 11, Indiana Jones, Tomb Raider, and Warhammer 40k? ... I highly recommend this book."
​Grimdark Magazine


"Safely in the top spot for my favourite books in the Warhammer universe... 5/5"
​The Audiobook Review
​

​"5/5... Captures lightning... had me laughing out loud."
​At Boundary's Edge​

"Manages to balance a series of homages, set pieces and a wild cast... Baggit and Clodde are pretty great characters."
​Goonhammer

Baggit is the fast-talking ratling with an eye for the big score. Clodde is the ogryn with a heart of gold and a head full of dreams. Abhuman soldiers turned thieves in the hive-city of Varangantua, they have crossed the wrong man for the last time!

But Baggit has learned of a score that could pay their debts and save their skins… the Wraithbone Phoenix, a fabled treasure said to be hidden somewhere aboard a decommissioned voidship with a legendary past.

Though Baggit and Clodde are not the only ones with eyes on the prize. They’re up against some of the best, the worst and the downright craziest recidivists to ever sling a las-pistol! A veteran manhunter! An ace thief! A crazed archaeologist! A vengeful backstabber! A redemption-seeking drunkard! Cultists! Mercenaries! And worse!

Baggit must look to the past if he’s to grab that treasure ahead of everyone else. However, legend has it that Death shall lay its hand upon any who lay claim to the Wraithbone Phoenix…

Marcus must guide Adamanthea and her squad to the so-called ‘City of Whispers’, a mysterious ruin at the heart of the forest, a place said to be the haunt of worse than ghosts!

But when her rescue ship crash lands, she and a handful of Battle Sisters must protect the relic from a ravening pack of Khornate butchers who seek the artefact for themselves.

More Short Stories

Short story May 2017 Copyright 2017 Games Workshop Limited
​The Bright Crusaders have somehow made it to the Purity Cup final against the Doomtown Rats, but the saintly humans are 2-1 down at halftime and most of the team has been eaten by the Skavens’ Rat-Ogre. The surviving players are now forced to rely on unpredictable star player Gerhardt the Penitent - a man famed for giving away his winnings (along with everyone else’s), sharing tactics with the opposition to ensure no unfair advantage, and purging himself of pride for scoring a touchdown by nailing himself to whatever comes to hand. Will the prospect of saving an orphanage be enough to convince Gerhardt that winning is more important than piety?

The Book of Martyrs

Picture
May 2021 (paperback release January 2022). Copyright 2021, Games Workshop Limited
To die in the name of the God-Emperor of Mankind is to live eternal, and none are more willing to bleed in His name than the Adepta Sororitas – the Sisters of Battle. The Book of Martyrs charts the deaths of three such exemplars.

Stationed within the bowels of an agri-bunker, Sister Ishani of the Orders Hospitaller tends to her charges as something inhuman prowls the furrows. Sister Anarchia of the Order of Our Martyred Lady is taken captive by the vile T’au Empire and seeks to teach her interrogators the true meaning of faith. Sister Superior Laurelyn of the Order of the Bloody Rose reinforces the beleaguered defenders against a familiar foe turned anew by the Great Rift.

Features the original novella The Martyrdom of Sister Ishani (originally titled Witness in Darkness).

Maledictions: A Collection of Horror Stories

Picture
April 2019. Copyright 2019, Games Workshop Limited
Horror is no stranger to the dark worlds of Warhammer. Its very fabric is infested with the arcane, the strange and the downright terrifying. From the cold vastness of the 41st Millennium to the creeping evil at large in the Mortal Realms, this anthology of short stories explores the sinister side of Warhammer as never before. Psychological torment, visceral horrors, harrowing tales of the supernatural and the nightmares buried within, this collection brings together a grim host of tales to chill the very blood…
​
Features my original novella The Nothings, in which a young labourer on an agri-world learns that he possesses psychic abilities and finds himself pursued by sinister entities dubbed ‘The Nothings’. He and his similarly gifted friends must use their native skills – as well as their burgeoning psychic powers – to traverse the benighted countryside, evade capture and reach their only possible sanctuary.

Sagas of the Space Wolves

Picture
April 2020. Copyright 2020, Games Workshop Limited
Born on the icy world of Fenris, few amongst the brotherhoods of the Adeptus Astartes are as fierce or as noble as the Space Wolves. Long are their sagas, told around the mead halls or over the flickering glow of a fire.

Heed them well, for they speak of legends like the Young King Ragnar Blackmane, whose thirst for battle is matched only by his heroism, or the Wolf Lord Logan Grimnar, that most venerable and fearsome of warriors, who leads the Chapter itself. So listen well as the skald holds forth around the burning fire, for these sagas hold darkness as well as light.
