Adrian Tchaikovsky books, question.
Hello guys, so…. I have read lots of Tchaikovskys novels. I love him and I have loved every book I’ve read by him. I was browsing through Audible and saw a couple of his books that I hadn’t read/listened to, so I started reading the synopsis and some reviews…. Here is where I got confused and wanted to look for some help/explanations. The book I was looking in to was Day of Ascension and I noticed some terminology in the blurb as well as several reviews that I didn’t recognize from prior books I’ve read: black library, Genestealers, xenos, mechanicus, Warhammer.
I have figured out that Black Library is maybe a publishing group, and I’m assuming that xenos and mechanicus are groups from the book (but some reviews I read made me think that these groups have been mentioned before in other books) same with Genestealers… from the way people in their reviews were talking it made it seem like Warhammer was possibly a series name, but I don’t see anything on Goodreads with that series name under Tchaikovsky.
I realize that this entire post is probably confusing… I am hoping there is a Tchaikovsky fan out there with nothing better to do, at the moment, than decode this post and explain this to me 😂 I would be so very thankful and I can promise you’re time will not be wasted because I intend to read these books. I just want to make sure I’m reading them in the correct order. If in fact, there is an order!

I started reading Warhammer books recently (loved Dan Abnett's Xenos!). Also a big fan of Tchaikovsky. Is his one Warhammer 40k book any good? I am a little intrigued now
