Dan Abnett lives and works in Maidstone, Kent, in England. Well known for his comic work, he has written everything from the Mr Men to the XMen in the last decade. Dan Abnett made his name in the tie-in SF and Fantasy fiction field, selling more than 1.2 million copies in English language of his Warhammer and Warhammer 40,000 novels for Games Workshop's Black Library imprint. They've also been translated into ten other languages. He's also recently made the UK fiction charts with original Torchwood and Doctor Who novels. His comicbook scripts, for major publishers such as Marvel, DC Comics and the UK's 2000 AD, have attracted critical plaudits and strong sales on both sides of the Atlantic.
His work for the Black Library includes the popular strips Lone Wolves, Titan and Darkblade, the best-selling Gaunts Ghosts novels, and the acclaimed Inquisitor Eisenhorn trilogy. He has also started Insurrection, a series in Judge Dredd Megazine that aims 'to bring to the Dredd Universe something of the epic war-in-space scale of the stuff I write for Warhammer 40K.' Abnett wrote the screenplay for Games Workshop and Codex Pictures's CGI film Ultramarines which was released on December 2010. On 19 March 2009, HarperCollins' science fiction, fantasy and horror imprint, Angry Robot, announced the acquisition of three original fiction titles by Abnett.
Riders of the Dead is a Warhammer Novel and Dan Abnett's twelfth novel.
"In the Chaos-infested wastes, the strongest of friendships can easily be manipulated into the deadliest of rivalries.
Far to the north of the Empire lies the dreaded Chaos Wastes, a dark landscape permeated by the corrupting magic of Chaos and home to the servants of the Dark Gods. Standing between this gateway to hell and the civilised world lies the frozen land of Kislev, bastion against the rising tide of evil.
Two Empire soldiers get their first taste of battle as they join the campaign to repel the savage Northern Tribes. As the winter draws in, the last major battle sees their destinies thrown into turmoil as circumstances tear them apart and throw them onto opposite sides.
Such is the mutating power in this dark and terrible land that the strongest of friends can soon become the bitterest of enemies. As they race towards a final cataclysmic showdown the fate of their souls will be sealed forever."
