Seit den Tagen der Horus-Häresie schallt der Name Ahriman in Schande durch die Galaxis. Einst war er der größte Hexer der Legion der Thousand Sons und Schüler von Magnus dem Roten, doch nun wird er von seinem größten Makel geleitet - der Hybris. Sein fehlgeleiteter Glaube, dass sein Rubica-Zauber den Fluch brechen könne, der über seinen Brüdern liegt, hat ihm ein Leben im Exil eingebracht. Doch obwohl er von seiner eigenen Legion verschmäht wird, hat Ahriman sein Bestreben, die Krieger der Thousand Sons von ihrem Dasein als fleischlose Hüllen zu befreien, nicht aufgegeben, und er wird sich den schlimmsten Schrecken der Galaxis stellen, um das Wissen zu erlangen, wie dieses Zeil zu erreichen ist. Um die Erlösung herbeizuführen, muss Ahriman seine eigene Verdammnis und den Zorn seines Primarchen riskieren.

1914 is a classic autobiographical account of WWI by John French.For a memoir of World War I, Sir John French's book 1914, does a fairly good job of recounting the facts, however skewed they may be. French, whose full name and titles are quite daunting, was Field Marshal John Denton Pinkstone French, 1st Earl of Ypres KP, GCB, OM, GCVO, KCMG, ADC, PC (1852 - 1925).He was Commader-in-Chief of the BEF (British Expeditionary Forces) against the Germain advances through Continental Europe. French, who was stubborn and hotheaded, ordered maneuvers which weren't the best course of action, for which he was eventually switched out for another commander. Though he was the obvious choice for Commander-in-Chief at the time, French was fighting a 20th century war with a 19th century mindset. Images of him at the time portray him mounted on horseback, a billowing feather in his hat... meanwhile the tanks and tear gas are just over the horizon.As part of our mission to publish great works of literary fiction and nonfiction, Sheba Blake Publishing Corp. is extremely dedicated to bringing to the forefront the amazing works of long dead and truly talented authors.

" Sir ! It is my ambition to let the world know upon what score it is that I do especially honor men. It is not, Sir!, as they are highborn heirs of the great potentates, for which most honor them (and upon which account I also shall not deny them their due) but as they excell in honesty and are friends to art. That poor philosophers should take no delight in riches, and rich men should take delight in philosophy, is to me an argument, that there is more delight, honor, and satisfaction in the one than in the enjoyment of the other. I once read of a nobleman's porter who let in all that were richly apparelled, but excluded a poor philosopher. But I should, if I had been in his place, have rather let in the philosopher, without the gay clothes, than the gay clothes without the philosopher. As long as I have sense or reason, I shall improve them to the honor of the art, especially that of alchemy. In the perfection thereof there are riches, honor, health and length of days. By it, Artefius lived 1000 years, Flamel built 28 hospitals with large revenues to them, besides churches for it, both they and diverse more were accounted philosophers, and wise men, which sounds with more honor in my ears than all the rattling and empty titles of honor whatsoever besides...."
