The next Horus Heresy book, "Deliverance Lost" is up for preorder

I was just browsing around over at The Black Library and I noticed that the next book in the Horus Heresy is now available for preorder.

"Deliverance Lost" is the title and it seems like this book will move the main story of the Horus Heresy meaningfully forward. The book will tell the tale of Corax, Primarch of the Raven Guard, as he returns to Terra after escaping the massacre on Isstvan V. But among the returning Raven Guards is a member of the Alpha Legion, who has infiltrated the broken legion and is hoping to learn the secrets of the defense of Terra. Secrets that Horus the Warmaster could use to devastating effect in his imminent full out attack on the capital of the Imperium.

He's got a giant skull strapped across his crotch, so you know he means business

The last Horus Heresy book, "The Outcast Dead", which I have previously reviewed here on the site, was a very enjoyable book, so I hope that Deliverance Lost will continue on the high note set by this previous entry in the series.
I'm also really excited about finally seeing the main story move forward instead of more books detailing various events that all took place at the beginning of Horus' treachery.

There's also a small excerpt from the book available for your immediate consumption, which I think looks fairly promising. The release date is currently stated as being January 2012, so look forward to this heretical piece of 41st millennium goodness quite soon.
