Who is this for?
A Warhammer 40,000 Novel of Genius, Ambition, and Dangerous Experiments
Across the Imperium, few minds can rival that of Archmagos Belisarius Cawl. When he invites representatives from many Imperial factions to aid him in deciphering the mysterious pylon network, his goal is nothing less than understanding—and perhaps reshaping—the fate of the galaxy itself.
But among the gathered dignitaries lurks an unexpected and unwelcome presence. Fabius Bile — renegade, clone-master, and one of the most brilliant heretic scientists ever born — has plans of his own. His arrival threatens not only the mission, but the fragile trust between the Imperium’s uneasy allies.
Within the shadows of ambition, two titanic intellects circle one another, each determined to push the boundaries of knowledge, no matter the cost. The result is a clash of ideology, pride, and terrifying innovation that could alter the future of humanity forever.

Details
Warhammer 40,000 is a universe where power often belongs not only to generals and warriors, but to those who can shape the very fabric of life and technology. Genefather brings together two of the setting’s most legendary minds — Belisarius Cawl and Fabius Bile — and explores what happens when their grand designs collide.
As Cawl seeks to unlock ancient secrets buried deep across the galaxy, Bile views the situation as an opportunity to advance his own twisted creations. Their confrontation becomes a battle not just of armies, but of philosophies: preservation versus transformation, loyalty versus ambition, and progress at any cost.
This novel is perfect for readers who love the darker, more speculative side of Warhammer 40,000 — where science is as dangerous as any weapon, and even the brightest genius can tip the galaxy toward ruin.
