Mr. Swallow, I just finished reading your book 'The Buried Dagger.' Mortarion is one of my favorite WH40K Primarchs, so this was a book I had been anticipating ever since I got my hands on 'The Pale King,' his primarch novel. I LOVED how you characterized Mortarion, in it; the dread is palpable, during the warp scenes, and I regularly had to put it down out of despair for him and his legion. Having more backstory for him was also greatly enjoyable; nothing helps you understand character lore like actually reading the books, lol! I loved getting to watch his dynamic with Necare (I HATE HIM) and the people of Barbarus.

Also, GOD HOW I HATE TYPHON/TYPHUS!!!! He's a great character, he's very interesting, you did a great job writing him, but as a person? AHHHHHH I HATE HIM!!!!!! BGNSNVJSKFNEM I took so many notes in the book that can be summed up as 'Typhus/Necare, when I catch you-'

The bit at the end, where he swears allegiance to Nurgle, is particularly poignant. I can envision it so *perfectly* in my mind. I almost cried multiple times, then in particular, but also throughout the rest of the book.

You did FANTASTIC.

Hey, thanks for your thoughts. Much appreciated!

COMMANDO: DUEL IN THE DARK is out today!

My sixth story for D.C. Thompson’s long-running war comic Commando is out today; issue #5707 is a Cold War-era story set during the early years of the Space Age entitled “Duel in the Dark”…

In the early years of the Space Race, as the United States of America and the Soviet Union challenge one another for dominance of the ‘High Frontier’, two Air Force astronauts find themselves trapped in a dying space capsule when an out-of-control Russian weapon threatens to spark World War III…

The cover for "Duel in the Dark" is another great piece of work by Neil Roberts, with interior art by Gary Welsh; read more about the history and inspiration for this story at my blog!
