Who is Guy Haley?

Guy Haley, born in 1973, is an English writer of speculative fiction known on two fronts: for his own Richards & Klein Investigations series, and for a prolific stream of fiction within the Warhammer 40,000 universe, to which he has contributed across numerous series.

That combination marks out a particular kind of professional. Writing original fiction proves the imagination; being handed recurring work in a vast shared universe proves something else – that the keepers of a beloved setting trust you with it. Haley has sustained both sides at once, which in the crowded field of speculative fiction is rarer than it sounds.

Our catalogue carries two of his Warhammer 40,000 novels, Belisarius Cawl: Archmagos and Dante – each, as the titles indicate, built around a single named figure of that universe. Character-led entries in a sprawling setting are a distinct art: the writer must satisfy devotees who arrive knowing everything while carrying newcomers who arrive knowing nothing.

For listeners, fiction of this kind is natural audio territory: big, immersive and driven by momentum, ideal for long stretches of listening. Devotees will find their universe in the hands of one of its regular custodians; the curious can simply strap in. Dante and Belisarius Cawl: Archmagos both reward the hours.
