Nick Kyme's Blog: Ultramarines ho!

Ultramarines ho!

Greetings to all - the powers that be have decreed that I may reveal the nature of the secret project I've been working on for the last month, and here is the skinny exclusively on the blog!

Okay, given the title post, you'd be forgiven for thinking I'm writing a Space Marine book in the style of Thundercats - I'm not.

I am writing an Ultramarines novella. In fact, I've literally just finished it and sent it to my editor. I've been asked not to reveal too much about it (not even the title!) as a Games Workshop 'official' announcement is pending (next week, I believe).

This novella is the first of a kind to be sold by the Black Library and will hit sales stands for its inaugural release at UK Games Day 2008. Afterwards, it will filter in to GW stores.

As mentioned, I can't say much except that it stars the Ultramarines of 2nd Company and some of their well-known heroes.

This has been a great project to work on and I really hope fans dig it as much as I did writing it. I'll post more details after the GW announcement and perhaps an image of the cover.

Wow, another marine novel.
Do you have a rough estimate of release date?

And will this be out before or after the Salamanders novel?

More novels means I get more quality time with a good book, keep up the good work!

2nd Company? *Crosses fingers* C'mon Captain Sicarius!

Hey Pyriel,

This book, which is a novella (so about a quarter length of a full novel) will be released at UK Games Day in September 2008, and then in the stores after that (so before the Salamanders novel).

Glad to hear that you're looking forward to it! :-)
