Mark Jacobs, VP and General Manager at EA Mythic commented, "We´re excited to be working with BL Publishing and Anthony Reynolds to bring our game to life and explore the rich depth of WAR´s epic story. BL Publishing has released many great novels set in Games Workshop´s Warhammer world and we are proud to have a book based on our game join the ranks of such notable works."
Anthony Reynolds, the author of the novel remarked, "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."
