Following last week’s announcement of Shadowsun: Patient Hunter, Renegades: Harrowmaster, and Wrath of the Lost, there comes another book set in the grim darkness of the far future. Void King, arriving in hardback next month, is a tale of Rogue Trader dynasties and their secrets, tragedies, and betrayals.*
Marc Collins’ new novel focuses on three fabulously wealthy and powerful dynasties of Rogue Traders, the hereditary privateers who ply the depths of unknown space – and deadly but profitable killzones – with the God-Emperor’s ancient blessing. Since the halcyon days of the Great Crusade, the proud Lamertine, fierce Helvintr, and cunning Radrexxus families have found great profit – and even greater adventures – thanks to their Warrants of Trade. Yet now the galaxy is changed, ripped in two by the birth of the Great Rift, and Roboute Guilliman himself demands that they find a way to cross the Cicatrix Maledictum.
It falls to Erastus, the Lamertine heir, to rise to the occasion. Can he unite disparate Imperial forces to complete this sacred mission? Or will betrayal and a thirst for vengeance threaten all their endeavours and keep the dark secrets threatening the Imperium’s dreams of unity hidden forever?
