Andrew Dembski-Bowden's Soul Hunter

Soul Hunter was a good read. Far better than Blacktide. I always maintain that a good BL novel will make you want to build an army themed around the book. This is definitely one of those. Without giving away any spoilers, this novel seems to take place before the 13th Black Crusade. It builds upon Lord of Night, yet only briefly mentions the Talonmaster and some of the Night Lords character from that novel. It also involves the Black Legion, with an interesting cameo by Abaddon that depicts him quite differently than he is in the HH books and some of the fluff. The rumors I've heard say this will be the first in the trilogy,if so I can't wait.
