Warhammer Online Also a Book

A series of books based on the Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning universe will be coming from the publisher around the same time as the game (that's Spring 2008, for those keeping track), so you don't have to leave the game's world even while you're on the subway. The first novel is entitled Empire in Chaos.

The book's author Anthony Reynolds said of the deal, "The Warhammer world is a grim place, full of horror, violence and dark humor, and the EA Mythic team have really brought that to life - faithfully creating a living, breathing, bellicose world being torn apart by constant warfare. It's the perfect backdrop for a novel. I'd been following the progress of the game for some time and it was easy to see that Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning was going to be something special." You know he's a novelist because he used the word "bellicose" in a press release.
