[Horus Heresy] Shadows of Treachery

Elonex777 a écrit:Pour nous les français c'est que du bonus on a des textes en français qui n'ont jamais été traduit (sauf pour la tour foudroyé mais c'est en limité) par contre à la place des anglais il y a de quoi faire la gueule; ils vont devoir acheter un tome alors qu'ils ont peut être déjà entendu la moitié en audiobook et bien entendu vu qu'il y aura quelques inédits ils seront "obligés" de l'acheter.

Apparently Shadows of Treachery is on sale at Warhammer World this weekend

"Prince of Crows (Aaron Dembski Bowden) - oh! this is splendid. A magnificent tale (which raises almost as many questions as it answers) following the tribulations of Sevatar, as the Night Lords are on the receiving end of a beating from the Tuchulcha-assisted Dark Angels. The story is carried by the character of Sevatar himself; and what a character he is, an a...nti-hero who defies classification. At times he seems almost autistic; at other times his casual black humour and simple values make him genuinely likeable, and it is easy to understand why some among his men worship him (even if Sevatar, himself, doesn't understand it at all). There are surprising revelations here, and the ending left me desperate for more; a sign of a good story. 10/10."

- oh ! C'est splendide. Un récit magnifique (qui soulève presque autant de questions qu'il apporte de réponse) nous suivons les tribulations de Sevatar, comme les Night Lords mettent fin à la reception de l'assistance des Dark Angels par Tuchulcha. L'histoire est portée par le personnage de Sevatar lui-même ; et quel protagoniste il est, un anti-héros qui défie toute classification. Parfois, il semble presque autiste ; à d'autres moments son humour noir occasionnel et ses valeurs simples le rendent vraiment sympathique, et il est facile de comprendre pourquoi certains parmi ses hommes l'adorent (même si Sevatar, lui-même, ne le comprends du tout). Il y a ici des révélations surprenantes, et la fin m' a laissé desespérement dans l'attente de la suite; le signe d'une bonne histoire. 10/10. »

An Extract of Treachery

Today, we’ve got an extract from Shadows of Treachery for you. This is the next Horus Heresy anthology, and it includes the novella 'Prince of Crows' by Aaron Dembski-Bowden, as well as a host of other short stories and audio drama adaptations by such seminal authors as Dan Abnett, Gav Thorpe and Graham McNeill.

This extract comes from the cover story, the novella-length 'The Crimson Fist' by John French:

I had seen countless servitors created by the Mechanicum, and had waded knee-deep through mutilated bodies, but there was something about the machine and the amputated torso that was utterly repellent. I had examined it before, when the search teams first brought it aboard, but without the crowding techpriests and labour servitors it felt different. It felt like going to a grave’s edge to look down at the remains of a secret atrocity.

Tyr let out a carefully controlled breath beside me. ‘What is it?’ he said, his voice echoing in the empty chamber.

‘We don’t know, at least not with certainty,’ I said. Tyr was moving around the edge of the stasis dome.

Source BL.

‘The search units I sent to Phall II found it floating in the oceans, but it has clearly been exposed to the void. The adepts tell me that the machine components have several purposes.’ Tyr gave a small nod, but was silent as I pointed to different portions of the wreckage. ‘Most of it is made up of high-gain augur arrays and broad spectrum sensors effective over a relatively short range. Then there is the human component. Apparently it would have been in a state of hibernation, kept alive with minimal power usage. Their assessment is that it was in orbit around Phall II, suffered damage and fell to the planet’s surface.’ Tyr was still staring at the grey remains of the human in the machine. I glanced at it then away; it made me want to shiver.
‘Some form of servitor-controlled sensor vehicle? An asteroid survey unit, perhaps?’

‘The adepts think it unlikely. In addition to the sensor equipment some of the systems seem to be a form of psy-amplifier.’
Tyr looked up. ‘This created the psy-attack?’

‘You are correct, but it was no attack. Look at it, brother.’ Tyr’s eyes flicked back to the machine, skimming over its broken form. ‘The sensors, the augur and communication sifters. The psychic screams we all felt were not attacks. They were a message.’

He looked up at me and I saw that he understood at last
‘It was no attack, brother. It was a prelude to one.’

Ever get the feeling you are being watched...?

Shadows of Treachery will be on sale in October. Set a reminder now to make sure you don’t miss out.
