Black Library New Releases – 7-1-17
This week, Librarians, a renegade Tau Commander, the Carcharodons, and the undead.
Check in on the supposed “black sheep” of the T’au Empire, the renegade Farsighted Enclaves, lead by none other than Commander Farsight, who wields an alien blade that steals the life from its victims and grants it to Farsight. Having used it against many orcs, tyrannies, and other foes, he’s without doubt the longest lived T’au yet–but what about his early life? Well, look no further than the latest from Phil Kelly, which follows the story of a young Farsight as he tests himself against the might of the Imperium.
Additionally, some old favorites are back in paperback and ebook formats, so you can pick up some amazing stories at an even more amazing price–this week there’s Ravener Returned, Red Tithe, and Mortarch of Night. So whether you’re itching for some 40k fun or Age of Sigmar Storytimes, the Black Library’s got you covered this week.

A Tau Empire novel

READ IT BECAUSE
Phil Kelly continues his look at the life of Commander Farsight with his first campaign against the full might of the Imperium, and shows how the Tau Empire’s technological superiority fares against Imperial grit.AdvertisementTHE STORY
The tau are a mysterious alien race, diametrically opposed to the Imperium of Man in every possible way – in their mastery of technology, methods of warfare and social structure. Yet in galactic terms they are a young race, and naive when it comes to the manipulations of Chaos. When promising young Commander Farsight is promoted to lead a crusade across the Damocles Gulf to reclaim the tau’s lost colonies from mankind, the mood is one of optimism. With their mighty fleet, and superior weapons and machines, how can their endeavour possibly fail? However, despite a parade of early successes, Commander Farsight soon faces enemies he wasn’t anticipating, and finds not only his courage but also his soul tested to the very limit.Written by Phil Kelly.
