Mike Brooks

Mike has written some rather fine Necromunda stories for Black Library and looks like a man whose father fucked a particularly goth looking parrot. If his mohawk and punk band are any indication, he certainly fits the part of a writer of Grimdark fiction.

Previously published sci-fi author, massive fan of the game. Has an appropriately massive 40K army and a dick bigger than ADB but not as big as Dan Abnett's, which isn't saying much.

He's one of the new wave of authors that came after they fired Laurie Goulding

Recently he has written the 40k novel "Rites of Passage" which has come under fire from Neckbeards due to controversial inclusive considerations such as characters with non-traditional genders and their pronouns in the novel. These are in-line with BL's guidelines (especially for ad-mech) as it's more sci-fi. He also goes the way of ADB and front loads the Alpharius novels with women in almost every non-Astartes role, complete with a lesbian couple and their gene-splice produced daughter. A Genderless techpriest also appears in Brutal Kunnin' terrifying neckbeards who haven't seen their own genitals without a mirror in decades. Then again, given his obsession with gender, there's a chance his own phallus may in fact have been removed in a pact to join the ranks of Black Library. Additionally, in Road to Redemption (one of the aforementioned fine Necromunda stories), there's a genderless Delaque, though it's framed there as "this Delaque's such a Delaque that no-one knows what they are." There's also a genderless ganger in the undercity in Warboss, their sex obscured by so many layers of clothing. He is not Danie Ware
