Midnight on the Street of Knives (eBook)
Xagor is on an errand for his haemonculus master, the delivery of a thoroughly unimportant package and some tremendously important news. A Dysjunction is coming, and Commorragh will be shaken to its very foundations. As Xagor travels the dangerous streets of the dark city, he is sure he is being followed.
Kharbyr has been sent to capture a package. Hunting the servant of a twisted haemonculus through the warrens of Commorragh, he is eager to slip his knife between his prey’s ribs and watch the life flee from him. But the servant is behaving oddly, and Kharbyr suspects that there is more to the other eldar’s task than a simple delivery.
A game of cat and mouse can lead to anything. Especially at midnight on the Street of Knives.
A brand new, never-before published story from author Andy Chambers.

Short, Sweet and Dangerous
Rated 5 out of 5 by J-P Spore
An excellent short story. Staying true to the short story form, Andy Chambers sets the stage - the characters, the setting, and the stakes - with great speed, and then proceeds to take you through the streets of Commorragh with the skill and art of an engaging but eminently disturbing tour guide. From the beginning in the Street of Knives, to the somewhat-expected-but-still-surprising final paragraph, the Dark City comes to life in a way that makes you want to read more even as you are simultaneously relieved you are not actually there yourself.
Short but awesome!
Rated 5 out of 5 by Maverik770
A fantastic short story! I have been very anxiously awaiting the release of the first novel in Andy Chambers' Dark Eldar trilogy - The Path of the Renegade coming in 2012. So I have been eating up anything Dark Eldar related or written by Mr. Chambers in the meanwhile. I'm not sure if this story will tie directly into his Dark Eldar trilogy or not but it was still a great read. It gave a great look into the mind set and ways of the Dark Eldar and their dark capitol city Commorragh. It was a very exciting read and kept me glued to my screen from the moment it started. I can't wait for more! ;D
Fantastic Story!
