The Black Library has announced the return of Captain Leonatos and the classic "Bloodquest" series in the audio book "Bloodquest" Prisoners of the Eye of Terror".
Per the Black Library:
Travelling the Eye of Terror in search of a stolen artefact, a band of Blood Angels exiles encounter another group of Space Marines on a similar quest – but is all as it seems?
Bloodquest was a series of graphic novels by Games Workshop that followed Caotain Leonatos who was banished from the Blood Angels after he lost the Blade Encarmine in a battle with Orks. He and a small groups of Blood Angels travel to the Eye of Terror to recover the Blade Encarmine.
You can still buy the original graphic novel at The Black Library
If I recall correctly, this story was amongst the first to reveal Space Marines as individuals who could find themselves cut off from their Chapter and its relatively simple, martial lifestyle - and cast adrift in the galaxy pursuing a quest of a more personal and heroic nature than "fighting this battle, winning that war".
ReplyDeleteInteresting these milestones of how GW / Black Library has developed the character of its setting and its factions.
Will the audio only be dealing with the first set of stories or the entire "Bloodquest" saga? Either way, it sounds like it will be very interesting and worthwhile.
