    Exclusive Horus Heresy Audio Drama up on the BL site.

    They may be charging for wallpapers these days, but GW are still giving away a few freebies here and there. They've just posted an exclusive short audio drama, revolving around the Sisters of Silence by Edward Knight. I have to say it features some of the best dialogue written by the Black Library so far and some really good narration. Link is below

    Excellent audio drama for Horus Heresy indeed!
    Good work Black Library!

    Though the dialogues are too deep for my liking.

    Anyway, enjoy "Sisters of Silence"

    The characterisation was predictably shallow and cliche and the storyline was just ridiculous, even by the standards of the HH series.

    The big reveal at the end was too bad.

    No question that Mr Knight knows how to write a compelling female character.

    The accompanying music, John Cage I think, really accentuated the tension in the story for me ....

    Is an audio drama for the Sisters of Silence only funny to me?

    I would think great joke if anybody else did that, but publisher which is selling page-and-half as e-book and computer wallpapers... I am wondering why they didnt slap price on this one also, at least 0,10 € promotional price.

    You know... is .79 pounds for a 1000-word story really all that damaging to people? These 15 stories are stories that these 15 writers have taken the time to write while they are heavily busy with other projects - Aaron with Betrayer, Sarah with an announced Silver Skulls novel, Dan with his comics and Pariah, Graham with Angel Exterminatus and the next UM trilogy, Nick with The Great Betrayal, Rob with unannounced HH projects and so on. People should appreciate that fact.

    Plus, highly important, if you want to someday write for Black Library, then these stories are excellent "research material" for writing your own samples for submissions. That is invaluable personally.

    And the audio was meant as a JOKE. J.O.K.E.

    Ok SH I am not revolted or something like that, and I appreciate those short stories, I even bought them (since I am smoker .79 is bargain compared to cigarets) but I was really hoping that they would surprise us with some free stuff like they used to do (remember free stuff on BL). Please dont take any offense I am not that kind of whiner.

    They still do occasionally put out a freebie. I apologise for getting your hopes up on April 1st, i merely found the joke hilarious - the only Aprils fool that game close was the Assassins Creed Kinect Edition trailer - and figured more people could enjoy it if i posted the link here.

    I downloaded the mp3, was all set-up for listening to it right now. Figured there was something wrong with the file I'd downloaded or my codecs, went back onto the website, same thing. Had to go read this thread before I connected the dots.

    As you can guess I'm not big on Aprils fools jokes.
