Through their settings of the 41st Millennium, Necromunda, the Horus Heresy, Blackstone Fortress, and far more besides, Games Workshop have created a sprawling and largely connected universe. Their publishing arm, Black Library is where the fiction side of this wargaming phenomenon takes place. This page will serve as a gathering place for all novels, novellas, omnibuses, anthologies and audio dramas that I review here At Boundary’s Edge. For ease of reference, they’ll be organised by the game faction or subsetting they best represent.
