    The Keeler Image appears to be no more...

    Hi guys

    Being the massive Dan Abnett fan I am, i was absent-mindedly looking over the Coming Soon page on the Black Librarys website and i realised that the Keeler Image has disappeared, and it isn't on amazon anymore either. With a quick googling it still seems to be listed Waterstones website but aside from a few threads and blog post it appears it no longer exists anywhere. Does anyone know what this is about? Has it been taken of sale? Is it actually going to be released.

    I love Dan's work, and Eisenhorn is the best of an amazing bunch. So the thought that this book is gonna' be lost in the warp is heartbreaking

    Many thanks

    It's been put back owing to work commitments.

    Presumably/possibly this being related to Mr. Abnett having a Dr. Who novel coming out for Xmas ... ?

    The BL Gods have decreed that in the absence of The Keeler Image we mortals shall be getting some other treat at the appointed time.

    For sure? As long as it's coming out at some point, there's no need to break out the pitchforks yet. Still disappointing though.

    I think that, due to Abnett working on the Dr. Who Novel, Know no Fear for 2012, and his monthly commitment to Marvel Comics, we're not going to see anything Eisenhorn related for a while.

    Christian Dunn recently mentioned on twitter that they've done a substantial amount (if not all) of the audio recording. I don't think the problem is Dan's not having written it, but something else.

    It could be a problem on the Big Finish side of things if thats the case. Maybe Nick Briggs has started trying to exterminate people with a sink plunger. Again.

    Don't despair. There's a book called Thorn and Talon coming out in December.

    A semi-reliable source says that it is a 2CD audio set of 3 Eisenhorn stories. I am awaiting confirmation.

    Good stuff on both counts. Thorn and Talon sounds awesome, and 3 Eisenhorn stories seems even juicier. I've never actually read (listened to ) an audio book, so it'll be excitement on all counts i think.
    Now where have those Eisenhorn and Ravenor omnibus's got to...

    They are already out aren't they? I own the Eisenhorn omnibus.

    They are indeed Shadowhawk, however finding things in my student flat is a bit like the warp. Things appear and disappear. Such as the pizza i have just pulled out from the side of the bed
