Chaos Child — Ian Watson

'Draco found and entered the Black Library!' declared Eldrad.

Hidden in the webway, guarded by terrible forces, its location known only to Great Harlequins, that repository of knowledge about daemons should have been forever secure. Draco should never have been able to find the Library, let alone enter it. Yet he had done so. Even worse, Draco had robbed it.

IN THE WAR-TORN galaxy of the 41st millennium, the holy Inquisition bears the endless duty of protecting mankind from corruption by the Dark Powers. Devastated by the death of his closest ally, renegade Inquisitor Jaq Draco prepares to surrender his very soul to the gods of Chaos, so he may discover the mythical place where time is reversed and the dead may rise again. Only by renouncing his fanatical faith in the God-Emperor can he hope to achieve his ultimate goal - and an eternity of damnation!
