Traitor's Gorge - Event Exclusive Novella

So Black Library have announced details about their "Event Exclusive Novella" today.









 Here are the key details:
  • Traitor's Gorge by Mike Lee
  • Hardcover with dust jacket (art by Clint Langley)
  • Colour section inc. map and art by Sam Lamont
  • Numbered and Limited to 1000 copies 
  • No mention of a signature (Mike Lee is not confirmed at any BL event so far, although he will perhaps be attending the Weekender) 
  • Only available at Black Library Events (of which the first is Black Library Live 2013 on the 2md March)

Here's the plot synopsis:
It has been half a year since the Crimson Fists were laid low by the invasion of their home world and the loss of their fortress-monastery. In that time, Chapter Master Pedro Kantor has led his battle-brothers in the fight to reclaim their planet from the greenskin menace that plagues them still.
On a mission to wipe a pocket of aliens in the Jaden Mountains, Kantor and his small band of warriors find that the orks have gathered around an influential leader and are greater in number than the beleaguered Space Marines could ever have imagined. Vastly outnumbered and surrounded by the foe, the Crimson Fists prepare to sell their lives dearly in the name of their world, their primarch and their Chapter.
But help is at hand from a most unexpected source…


No mention of a price, although BL have this to say:
And with the story being exclusive to this format for at least a year, this is a seriously collectible artifact.

Which may well mean a bumper price for this one. Can't say that any of the "tactical maps" that BL have ever included in their books have ever been the best but I'm hoping the production values are going to be top notch. Defiantly going to be picking up a copy at Live! 2013 as I can't resist a limited ed., and with only 1000 copies this may well be on of the desirable ones.
