Science Fiction & Fantasy
1. Hunter’s Descent
Summary
Catching the hunter was the simple part, Lake. Now I just have to convince him that a life of anarchy, the most incredible fish in the world, and my charming company is far preferable to the alternative.
The insolent chimeras who think they can harm my one true love are likely to get what they deserve—death.
Across the country, I journey with my questionable companions and Declan, who is just as eager as I am to plunge headfirst into danger, to discover the source of the chimeras’ harassment. What we uncover, however, may show once again that the true villain might be anyone.
That what he said, Declan. Besides the fish, of course.
2. Children of Teclis
Summary
Novel of the Realm-lords of Lumineth
Elarin, a seeker of knowledge, enters the crypt where Nagash was imprisoned to foil his resurrection. She is surprised by what she discovers there.
WHY YOU SHOULD HEAR IT
The contrast between the afflicted and hopeless Idoneth Deepkin and the talented but arrogant Lumineth Realm-lords is fascinating.
PLOT
Nagash has been thrown down. The Lumineth have achieved victory. Teclis the Mighty has left his offspring to watch over the grave of the Great Necromancer.
One such person is Elarin the Illuminated, a seeker of lore. She is more dedicated than anyone else to thwarting Nagash’s resurrection, and she is willing to risk her life and the wrath of her comrades to learn the truth about Marrowscar.
However, this ancient Ossiarch necropolis hides a perilous threat. The reavers of the ocean floor, the Idoneth Deepkin, want to exploit Marrowscar’s prohibited knowledge to restore their weakened spirits at any cost, even the lives of Lumineth. To prevent the return of the God of Death and save her family, Elarin must do the unimaginable and condemn her Deepkin cousins to a life of terror.

WHY YOU SHOULD HEAR IT
The so-called Hero of the Imperium has returned to the fray. And now he’s doing what he does best: spilling the beans on the unbelievable tale of his extraordinary achievements.
PLOT
It’s business as usual for Commissar Ciaphas Cain and the Valhallan 597th, this time suppressing a rebellion of Chaos cultists on an Imperial mining world. Even though they accomplished their task, they discovered signs that the corruption had spread to neighboring planets and now threatened the forge world of Ironfound. Ironfound’s weapons are crucial to the Imperial war effort in the subsector, so protecting the facility is a top priority.

4. Leviathan
An Original Novel Set in the Warhammer 40,000 Universe
Regium is a proud Imperial world, and when a veteran Lieutenant of the Ultramarines sees the warning signals of an impending attack by the Tyranids, he leads a desperate counteroffensive to try to preserve the planet.
WHY YOU SHOULD HEAR IT
The Imperium is waging a desperate battle to stay alive in the face of an unprecedented Tyranid invasion.
PLOT
The dream is a sign of the end of the world.
Regium, a fortified planet, has an illustrious past. It has stood courageously in defense of the Imperium of Man for millennia, long after other civilizations have succumbed to ruin and damnation. But it has been disturbed now. Parasitic plagues are widespread, and the people of Regium frequently have nightmares about terrifying monsters devouring their very organs.
Lieutenant Castamon of the Ultramarines is all too familiar with the telltale signals of a forthcoming Tyranid invasion. The combat veteran rallies his troops and sends out a strike group to destroy the xenos in the outer system before they can reach Regium. The unexpected and lethal nature of this new tendril of the Hive Fleet Leviathan means Castamon and the First Company must muster all their skill, force, and zeal to survive, or else they will be wiped out entirely.
Darius Hinks penned this. Theo Solomon reads. It takes about 12 hours and 14 minutes to play through.
