A few saturdays ago I got to meet Dan Abnett at a book signing in Thurrock, and got my copy of The Lost signed, and had the chance to ask Mr Abnett a few quick questions which he was kind enough to answer fully.
Me: Will we ever get the Gaunt/Rawne fight that you've been building up to since First and Only?
Dan: Yes. In Traitor General Gaunt and Rawne had to put aside their differences to complete their mission, but in Blood Pact Rawne starts to revert to his old self, mostly because he's bored. So yes the fight is coming up in the next few books.
Me: Would you consider killing off the Ghosts in the final book? It's the 41st millenium, there are no happy endings.
Dan: Definitely. The Ghosts will not have a happy ending. I just haven't decided how extreme I want to be with the final book.
Salvations Reach will be the 2nd part of The Victory will a potential for a final 2 books to wrap everything up, this doesn't include the 'Lil Gaunt' prequels.

Nice! Not looking forward to the Gaunt's Ghost series to end since it's my favourite but I am expecting a spectacular end.
ReplyDeleteYou forgot to ask him what the heck was he thinking when he wrote the script for "Ultramarines" though :P
They're gonna go out with a bang by sounds of it (my money is on the Ghosts being wiped out defending New Tanith). Still got 5 books to go so they'll be around for a while yet.
ReplyDeleteUltramarines wasn't that bad, though I cringe whenever I hear "And we shall know no fear" thats the only part I really dispise.
Thinking about it now I really should have asked him when can we expect the next series of Malus Darkblade books. Ah well always next time.
