Rogue Traders

Barrington J. Bayley

One of Black Library's earliest novels follows an ambitious Rogue Trader chasing power and fortune in the fringe worlds bordering the Eye of Terror. A parallel thread tracks two Space Marines, one a fervent servant of Khorne and the other an ancient Great Crusade warrior slowly succumbing to corruption. Written before much of the setting was codified, it is an eccentric, anything-goes vision of the warp's edge.

Darius Hinks

The disgraced Rogue Trader Janus Draik seeks to restore his ruined fortunes by plundering the secrets of the Blackstone Fortress, a vast and ancient space station of unknown origin. Operating from the lawless orbital shantytown of Precipice, he assembles a motley crew of treasure-seekers and rivals to brave the fortress's shifting depths and lethal mysteries.

Rogue Trader Janus Draik returns to the enigmatic Blackstone Fortress, hunting a monstrous ambull before a rival can capture the creature and unleash it. With the kroot tracker Dahyak Grekh and a band of retainers at his side, he plunges into a labyrinth swarming with Chaos cultists and lethal alien horrors.

James Swallow

A rogue trader captain and her ragtag crew pursue pirates to the fringes of the Imperium, only to board a derelict vessel hiding something far older and more dangerous than a simple bounty. What begins as a hunt for plunder spirals into a confrontation with an ancient terror that imperils the whole sector. Originally released as a full-cast audio drama in the spirit of gritty space-opera adventure.

Marc Collins

In the shadow of the newly torn Great Rift, three proud rogue trader dynasties are charged by Roboute Guilliman himself with finding a way across the Cicatrix Maledictum. The Lamertine heir must bind feuding houses and Imperial factions to a single mission while betrayal and old vendettas threaten to unravel everything. A politically driven dynastic intrigue more concerned with treachery among the trader families than with action set-pieces.
