    Default Black Library April Fools?

    Either an April Fools joke or maybe just my warped sense of humour!

    I got a splash release email from Black Library offering the chance to download a free audio sample of a new horus heresy audio book - Sister of Silence

    [URL="http://www.blacklibrary.com/Downloads/Product/MP3/S/sister-of-silence.mp3"]http://www.blacklibrary.com/Downloads/Product/MP3/S/sister-of-silence.mp3[/URL]

    Written by Edward Knight with the tag line "Silence is golden" An audio book about an order that doesn't speak? Made me chuckle.

    That is brilliant.

    Lol. I got that and assumed it was broken, forgot about the date. The artwork on the cover is lifted straight from the Horus Heresy Visions book now I think about it.

    The authenticity of the female dialogue really gets to me, clearly Mr Knight really knows how to write female characters.

    Certainly the humor behind this is very English.

    Why don't we have people thinking this one's legit? Black Library's done audio books before, and the Sisters of Silence need some time in the spotlight!

    Anyway, this is a pretty good gag - I approve.
