THE INQUISITION

++Open vox-net++

My most esteemed Lord Inquisitor,

The arch-heretic Werner is ours! Though several of my men perished, and some suffered even worse fates, in the process he is currently under lock and key where our torture-servitors have already loosened his tongue.

Interrogator Kerstromm, Ordo Malleus

What are you working on at the moment?

On my plate at the moment is Thanquol’s Doom, the third book in the saga of the Under-Empire’s most infamous grey seer. After returning from Lustria, Thanquol finds himself embroiled in a plot by Clan Skryre to steal a new dwarf invention – one that will enable Chief Warlock Ikit Claw to build the ultimate weapon. Thanquol must exploit all of his treacherous cunning if he is to survive the rivalry of feuding warlock-engineers, the vicious warriors of Clan Mors, and the mysterious agenda of another grey seer. Then there’s the small problem of keeping his fur safe from the vengeful axes of the dwarfs themselves to add to his problems. Fortunately, he’s got a brand new Boneripper to get between himself and the hordes of enemies after his pelt..

What are you working on next?

My next project is a bit of a top secret matter, the disclosure of which would undoubtedly lead to my untimely demise in some rather sordid and uncomfortable fashion. Having seen a lot of Robin Hood movies, I am quite familiar with just how dank and awful the dungeons of Nottingham are. So, no, I must quite firmly remain silent on the subject of my next book. Unless it’s okay to say it may involve daemons. Or the undead. I can safely say it won’t have any vampires that sparkle in sunlight and refuse to drink human blood. It most likely won’t have any llamas either.

Are there any areas of Warhammer and Warhammer 40,000 that you haven’t yet explored that you’d like to in the future?

Well, I guess the obvious answer here is to say Orcs and Orks. I’d really like to sink my teeth into an orc novel. I’ve done some peripheral stuff with them, featuring orcs as villains in Runefang and Forged by Chaos, and my first 40k story was centred on a Blood Axe Kommando, but I still have this yearning to do a big splashy orc novel. The promise of low comedy and mindless violence is simply immense for such a project. And, of course, there’s the thing about writing monsters as monsters without slapping some ‘noble savage’ claptrap on them that I think readers would appreciate.

What are you reading at the moment? Who are your favourite authors?

I just finished The Sword of Rhiannon by Leigh Brackett, fixing a woeful negligence on my part as I’d never read any of her books before. Just now, I’m dividing my time between a re-read of the various incarnations of Warhammer Armies: Skaven and Shadows in the Jungle, a non-fiction WWII account of the Alamo Scouts, an American special forces unit employed by General MacArthur in the Philippines. Absolute hardcases, these fellows, never losing a
