Prospero Burns by Dan Abnett is the fifteenth novel in the Horus Heresy Series. Though marketed as the second part of a duology with Graham McNeill's A Thousand Sons (Novel) that describes the Burning of Prospero from the perspective of the Space Wolves, it is narrated by a human character, Kasper Hawser, and focuses mostly on his life and experiences as a skjald for the Wolves.
丹.阿伯奈特的《普罗斯佩罗之焚》是荷鲁斯叛乱系列的第十五部小说。虽然作为格雷厄姆·麦克内尔的《千子》(小说)的二重奏的第二部分进行营销,该小说从太空野狼的角度描述了普罗斯佩罗之焚,但它是由一个人类角色卡斯佩尔·豪瑟尔叙述的,主要关注他作为野狼的吟游诗人的生活和经历。
The novel was originally scheduled to be published in April 2010, however due to author Dan Abnett being diagnosed with epilepsy the publication date was moved back to January 2011. Prospero Burns reached number 16 on the New York Times best-seller list in the paperback best sellers mass-market fiction section. This was the first time a Black Library novel made in into the top 20. It was later included in "The Novels: Volume 3" eBook collection, and it was included as part of The Razing of Prospero omnibus, released in paperback on July 12, 2016.
这部小说原定于2010年4月出版,但由于作者丹·阿伯奈特被诊断出患有癫痫,出版日期被推迟到2011年1月。《普罗斯佩罗之焚》在平装书畅销书大众市场小说部分的《纽约时报》畅销书排行榜上排名第16位。这是黑色图书馆的小说首次进入前20名。后来,它被收录在《小说:第三卷》电子书集中,并被收录在2016年7月12日以平装本发行的《普罗斯佩罗的毁灭》综合丛书中。

The Emperor is enraged. Primarch Magnus the Red of the Thousand Sons Legion has made a terrible mistake that endangers the very safety of Terra. With no other choice, the Emperor charges Leman Russ, Primarch of the Space Wolves, with the apprehension of his brother from the Thousand Sons home world of Prospero. This planet of sorcerers will not be easy to overcome, but Russ and his Space Wolves are not easily deterred. With wrath in his heart, Russ is determined to bring Magnus to justice and bring about the fall of Prospero.
帝皇被激怒了。千子军团原体赤红之马格努斯犯了一个可怕的错误,危及了泰拉的安全。在别无选择的情况下,帝皇要求太空野狼原体黎曼·罗斯从千子家园世界普罗斯佩罗逮捕他的兄弟。这个巫师的行星不容易被征服,但鲁斯和他的太空野狼并不容易被吓倒。鲁斯心中充满愤怒,决心将马格努斯绳之以法,并使普罗斯佩罗陷落。


Part One: The Upplander 第一部分:从天而降者
On the planet Fenris, the Ascomanni tribe come under attack by their rival tribe the Balt for harbouring a 'bad star' that fell from the sky, in reality human Conservator Kasper Ansbach Hawser whose craft was accidentally shot down as he arrived in Fenris airspace en route to join the Space Wolves Legion as a cultural observer. Four Ascomanni warriors flee their settlement with Hawser but one is killed when their craft flips on sea ice and another dies defending him from a massed attack by the Balt and Hradcana. Hawser's last two defenders are about to be killed when a lone Space Wolf arrives and massacres the attackers. The Astartes, Bear, was the one who accidentally shot Hawser's craft down and thus was responsible for rescuing him. Hawser demands that Bear take the surviving Ascomanni Fith and Brom with him and all four board Bear's craft before Bear gouges out Hawser's right eye and he passes out from the pain.
在芬里斯行星上,阿斯科曼尼部落因窝藏一颗从天上掉下来的“坏星”而受到其竞争对手巴尔特部落的攻击,实际上是人类文物保护员卡斯佩尔·安斯巴赫·豪瑟尔,他的飞船在抵达芬里斯空域的途中被意外击落,他将作为文化观察员加入太空野狼军团。四名阿斯科曼尼战士逃离了他们与豪瑟尔的定居点,但其中一人在他们的船只在海冰上翻转时丧生,另一人在保护他免受巴尔特和赫拉德卡纳的大规模攻击时死亡。当一个单独的太空野狼到来并屠杀袭击者时,豪瑟尔的最后两名防御队员也被杀。阿斯塔特,贝尔,是那个不小心把豪瑟尔的飞船击落的人,因此负责营救他。豪瑟尔要求贝尔带上幸存的阿斯科曼尼人菲斯和布罗姆,以及贝尔的四艘船,然后贝尔挖出豪瑟尔的右眼,他因疼痛而昏倒。
Hawser spends a prolonged time dreaming before awakening in the Aett, fortress of the Space Wolves. Afraid and disorientated he fights off several Legion thralls before running into a Space Wolf who brings him before Amlodhi Skarssen Skarssensson, Captain of Fyf, the Space Wolves' Fifth Company. Skarssen and his Rune Priest Ohthere Wyrdmake reveal that Hawser's aged body has been physically rebuilt and enhanced by the Legion's Apothecaries, who added a light-sensitive wolf's eye to replace the taboo augmented one gouged out by Bear, but they cannot explain Hawser's understanding of Juvjk and Wurgen, the Space Wolves' everyday and combat languages. They reveal that Hawser has been kept in induced sleep for nineteen Fenrisian years, almost seventy Terran ones.
豪瑟尔在太空野狼的亚特堡垒醒来之前花了很长时间做梦。恐惧和迷失方向的他击退了几个军团的奴隶,然后遇到了一位太空野狼,他把他带到了太空野狼第五大连,第五连队连长阿姆洛迪·斯卡森·斯卡森松面前。斯卡森和他的符文牧师欧谢尔·创命者透露,豪瑟尔的衰老身体已经被军团的药剂师重造和增强,他们增加了一个光敏的狼眼,以取代贝尔挖出的禁止增强的眼睛,但他们无法解释豪瑟尔对炉语和战语的理解,这是太空野狼的日常语言和战斗语言。他们透露,豪瑟尔经被诱导睡眠了19年,几乎70个泰拉年。
Throughout the novel flashbacks reveal details about Hawser's past including his childhood at a desert orphanage, his career with the Conservatory and his efforts to preserve its independence from the Administratum. One flashback describes an encounter between Hawser's archaeological team and Fifteenth Legion Astartes sent to secure the area where Hawser's team were investigating, during which the Astartes took a strange interest in Hawser's name. His decision to travel to Fenris late in life is explained as the product of academic curiosity and frustration at Terran bureaucracy sabotaging his vision for the Conservatory, but other characters cast doubt on this and imply that someone else may have planted the idea in his head.
在整部小说中,倒叙揭示了豪瑟尔过去的细节,包括他在沙漠孤儿院的童年、他在温室的职业生涯以及他为保持温室独立于内务部所做的努力。一个闪回描述了豪瑟尔的考古队与被派去保护豪瑟尔团队正在调查的地区的第十五军团阿斯塔特之间的遭遇,在此期间,阿斯塔特对豪瑟尔名字产生了奇怪的兴趣。他晚年前往芬里斯的决定被解释为学术好奇心和对泰拉官僚机构破坏他对温室愿景的沮丧的产物,但其他角色对此表示怀疑,并暗示其他人可能已经在他脑海中植入了这个想法。
Part Two: Wolf Tales 第二部分:野狼传说
Hawser takes up a role as Tra (Third) Company's skjald, or storyteller, and accompanies them as they prosecute the Emperor's Great Crusade. During the 40th Expeditionary Fleet's assault on the Olamic Quietude Tra Company is summoned to help conquer the technologically advanced branch of humanity and Hawser witnesses them in action, afterwards telling the stories of Space Wolves killed in combat. After a strategy meeting in an Imperial Army camp some soldiers attack Hawser for mere association with the 'bestial' Sixth Legion, but despite having no training he badly injures all of his attackers while trying to defend himself, revealing the extent of the Legion's improvements to his strength and reflexes. During an assault on one of the Quietude's subterranean cities Tra's Rune Priest, Ulvurul Heoroth, is mortally wounded defending Hawser from Quietude super-soldiers, and Hawser stays with him as he dies. Hawser tells a story from his time as a Conservator on Terra, of an incident when his arrogant colleague Navid Murza employed crude low-level magic to help the two of them escape an ambush by thugs and took Hawser to meet members of an arcane cult he had secretly been serving his whole career. After discovering that Murza had been collecting notes on artefacts depicting the Eye of Horus for the cult Hawser resisted their attempts to recruit him, eventually threatening them to make them back off, at which point they evaporated into thin air. Heoroth disagrees with Hawser that it is the most frightening story from his life and takes him into one of his own tales, in which both are nearly killed by a Fenrisian animal before a large black wolf intervenes and saves them, a wolf Heoroth reveals is the reincarnated form of Brom, the Ascomanni warrior who died of injuries he sustained protecting Hawser from the Balt. Hawser refuses to believe this is true despite it explaining the supernatural truth behind the saying 'there are no wolves on Fenris'. He emerges from their shared dream-state to find Heoroth twelve minutes dead, leaving the last twelve minutes of their conversation unexplained.
豪瑟尔作为第三(第三)连队的吟游诗人或说书人的角色,并陪同他们参与帝皇的大远征。在第40远征舰队对奥拉米克静远的攻击中,第三连队被召集来帮助征服技术先进的人类分支,豪瑟尔目睹了他们的行动,之后讲述了太空野狼在战斗中丧生的故事。在帝国陆军营地举行的一次战略会议后,一些士兵仅仅因为与“野蛮”的第六军团有联系而袭击了豪瑟尔,但尽管没有受过训练,他在试图自卫时重伤了所有袭击者,这表明了第六军团对他的力量和反应能力的改善程度。在对静远的一个地下城市的袭击中,第三大连的符文牧师乌尔乌弗鲁·赫欧罗斯在保卫豪瑟尔免受静远超级士兵的攻击时受了致命伤,霍瑟一直陪伴在他身边直到死亡。豪瑟尔告诉了他在泰拉担任文物保护员期间的一个故事,讲述了一次事件,当时他傲慢的同事纳维德·穆尔扎使用粗糙的低级魔法帮助他们两人逃离暴徒的伏击,并带着豪瑟尔去见他整个职业生涯都在秘密服务的神秘教派的成员。在发现穆尔扎一直在为教派收集描绘荷鲁斯之眼的文物笔记后,豪瑟尔抵制了他们招募他的企图,最终威胁他们让他们退缩,这时他们消失得无影无踪。赫欧罗斯不同意豪瑟尔的观点,认为这是他一生中最可怕的故事,并将他带入了自己的一个故事中,在一只大黑狼介入并拯救他们之前,两人都差点被一只芬里斯动物杀死,赫欧罗斯透露,一只狼是布罗姆的转世形式,布罗姆是阿斯科曼尼战士,他因保护豪瑟尔免受巴尔特的伤害而死亡。豪瑟尔拒绝相信这是真的,尽管它解释了“芬里斯上没有狼”这句话背后的超自然真相。他从他们共同的梦境中醒来,发现赫欧罗斯已经死了12分钟,留下了他们谈话的最后12分钟无法解释。

Longfang battles a Quietude super-robust 长牙与一个静远的超级战士战斗
Tra Company hold a prolonged funeral for Heoroth during which Hawser recites many tales of his life given to him by other Space Wolves. Tra's leader, Ogvai Ogvai Helmschrot, selects Aun Helwintr as the company's new Rune Priest and Hawser causes a minor disturbance when he exclaims that the knife Ogvai uses in the ritual is the same one he saw in the hand of one of the cultists he encountered that day on Terra. Later Helwintr explains to Hawser that someone has been psychically manipulating him without him realising, making him come to Fenris and confuse Ogvai's knife with the one from the past when they are plainly two different weapons. The Space Wolves have always been aware that Hawser is a spy for an unknown outside force, but kept him around to see what would happen.
第三大连为赫欧罗斯举行了一场漫长的葬礼,其间豪瑟尔背诵了其他太空野狼给他的许多生活故事。第三大连的领导人奥格瓦伊·残盔选择奥恩·冥冬作为连队的新符文牧师,豪瑟尔在仪式中使用的刀与他那天在泰拉遇到的一名信徒手中看到的刀相同时,引起了轻微的骚动。后来冥冬向豪瑟尔解释说,有人在他没有意识到的情况下对他进行了心灵操纵,让他来到芬里斯,把奥格瓦伊的刀和过去的刀混淆了,因为它们显然是两种不同的武器。太空野狼一直都知道豪瑟尔是一个未知外部势力的间谍,但还是让他留下来看看会发生什么。
The Space Wolves First, Third and Fifth Companies are summoned to Nikaea for the conclave on the use of psyker powers by the Legions. Hawser is left in a room with Silent Sisters whose presence as Pariahs negates the psychic influences on his mind, and thus he is initially unable to understand when Leman Russ talks to him. Russ, Fulgrim, Constantin Valdor, Raldoron, Calas Typhon, Gunnar Gunnhilt, Ogvai, Skarssen, Helwintr and Ohthere Wyrdmake all gather to interview Hawser, revealing that they believe he is a deep-cover spy psychically implanted by the Thousand Sons the day he encountered them on Terra and placed among the Space Wolves so Magnus would have advance warning if they were ever sent to censure him for his use of sorcerous powers. Escorted from the chamber by Custodian Amon Tauromachian, Hawser is confronted by Amon of the Thousand Sons who uses the name he shares with the Custodian to paralyse him and confirms everything that was just revealed. Bear and Aun Helwintr arrive, and though Amon is able to use Helwintr's name to injure and overpower him the same technique does not work on Bear and Amon is driven off badly wounded.
太空狼第一、第三和第五连队被召集到尼凯亚,就军团使用灵能者力量举行秘密会议。豪瑟尔被留在一个房间里,与寂静修女们在一起,她们作为被遗弃者的存在否定了他头脑中的灵能影响,因此他最初无法理解黎曼·鲁斯什么时候和他说话。鲁斯、福格瑞姆、康斯坦丁·瓦尔多、拉多隆、卡拉斯·提丰、加纳·甘希尔特、奥格瓦伊、斯卡森、冥冬和欧谢尔·创命者都聚集在一起采访豪瑟尔,透露他们认为豪瑟尔是千子在泰拉遇到他们的那天被心灵植入的深层间谍,并被安置在太空野狼中,这样马格努斯如果被派去谴责他使用巫术,就会提前得到警告。在禁军阿蒙·塔罗马奇的护送下,豪瑟尔走出房间,面对千子的阿蒙,阿蒙用他与禁军共同的名字让他瘫痪,并证实了刚才透露的一切。贝尔和奥恩·冥冬到达,虽然阿蒙能够用冥冬的名字伤害并制服他,但同样的技术对贝尔不起作用,阿蒙重伤后被驱逐。
After the Emperor renders his verdict the Space Wolves move on to a planet named Thardia, where Helwintr begins helping Hawser explore a recurring dream from his last days on Terra in which he spots someone standing behind him by their reflection but always awakens before realising who they are. Fith Godsmote, the only Ascomanni warrior to survive defending Hawser from the Balt who subsequently became a Space Wolf, teaches him axework so he will not be helpless in combat. After a session with Helwintr Hawser wanders off to practice axework and is found by Ohthere Wyrdmake, who warns him that something terrible has happened and leads him into the woods. Wyrdmake reveals that a second Rune Priest Eada Haelwolf was attempting to break into Hawser's mind while Helwintr's attempts kept the being acting on Hawser distracted, and orders him to stay put while he goes on reconnaissance. Hawser hears Wyrdmake get injured and spots a large, shadowy wolf among the trees. Encountering Eada Haelwolf the injured Rune Priest warns him that he and Helwintr found a door in Hawser's mind that led to the being influencing him but that it detected them and possessed Helwintr. Helwintr arrives and reveals that Haelwolf was the one who got possessed, and he and Wyrdmake team up to bring down Haelwolf when he transforms into the shadowy wolf. Taken captive, Haelwolf confesses that he glimpsed the anatheme and a plot against Horus while possessed, but Ogvai dismisses this and executes him.
在帝皇做出判决后,太空野狼前往一个名为萨迪亚的行星,在那里,冥冬开始帮助豪瑟尔探索他在泰拉最后几天的一个反复出现的梦,在这个梦中,他通过自己的倒影发现有人站在他身后,但总是在意识到自己是谁之前醒来。菲斯·神击是唯一一位在保卫豪瑟尔时幸存下来的阿斯科曼尼战士,后来成为了太空野狼,他教豪瑟尔斧头,这样他在战斗中就不会无助。在与冥冬会面后,豪瑟尔漫步去练习斧头,被欧谢尔·创命者发现,他警告他发生了可怕的事情,并把他带进了树林。创命者透露,第二位符文牧师伊达·慨狼试图闯入豪瑟尔的脑海,而冥冬的尝试让豪瑟尔保持分心,并命令他在侦察时原地不动。豪瑟尔听到创命者受伤的声音,在树林中发现了一只巨大的、阴暗的狼。当遇到伊达·慨狼时,受伤的符文牧师警告他,他和冥冬在豪瑟尔的脑海中发现了一扇门,这扇门导致了存在对他产生了影响,但它发现了他们并占据了冥冬。冥冬到达并透露,慨狼是被附身的人,当他变成阴影狼时,他和创命者联手将慨狼打倒。被俘后,慨狼承认,他在被附身时瞥见了诅咒和针对荷鲁斯的阴谋,但奥格瓦伊对此不屑一顾并处决了他。
Part Three: Account 第三部分:解释
The Space Wolves are summoned to Prospero to bring Magnus to justice for breaking the Edict of Nikaea. Leman Russ uses Hawser as a conduit to give Magnus a last chance to surrender but receives no reply. The Space Wolves invade the planet and Hawser makes his first kill against one of the Prospero Spireguard. While fighting in a temple he suddenly finds himself in the room from his dream, where a Chaos entity masquerading as Horus appears and Hawser realises that it was the being from the dream. It confesses that it manipulated him into going to Fenris and framed the Thousand Sons for the act by appearing as Amon on Nikaea while the real Amon was elsewhere, all as part of a bigger plan to turn the two Legions against each other. Fith, Bear and Aun Helwintr arrive but the entity overpowers them all using their names bar Bear whose arm it sets alight. Hawser cuts off Bear's arm to save the rest of him just as two Dreadnoughts and a cohort of Silent Sisters arrive, led there by the Helwintr to kill the being. Its powers sapped by the Silent Sisters, the Chaos entity is helpless as the Dreadnaughts shoot it to pieces. Bear's real name is revealed as Bjorn: imperfect language imprinting by the being led to errors in Hawser's speech where animals were concerned and meant it could never use the name Bear against him as it was wrong. The Thousand Sons are defeated and the Space Wolves depart Prospero. After the battle Kasper Hawser has one final conversation with Leman Russ before voluntarily going into indefinite stasis so he cannot be used against the Wolves again.
太空野狼被召集到普罗斯佩罗,将马格努斯绳之以法,因为他违反了尼凯亚法令。黎曼·鲁斯利用豪瑟尔作为渠道,给马格努斯最后一次投降的机会,但没有收到任何回复。太空野狼入侵了行星,豪瑟尔首次杀死了普罗斯佩罗尖塔守卫之一。在一座神殿里战斗时,他突然发现自己出现在梦中的房间里,一个伪装成荷鲁斯的混沌实体出现了,豪瑟尔意识到这是梦中的存在。它承认,它操纵他去芬里斯,并诬陷千子,让他们在尼凯亚以阿蒙的身份出现,而真正的阿蒙在别处,这一切都是让两个军团相互对抗的更大计划的一部分。菲斯、贝尔和奥恩·冥冬到达,但实体用他们的名字制服了他们,除了贝尔,还点燃了他们的手臂。豪瑟尔切断了贝尔的手臂以拯救他的其余部分,这时两个无畏和一群寂静修女到达了那里,由冥冬带领杀死了存在。它的力量被寂静修女们削弱了,当无畏将其炸成碎片时,混沌实体无能为力。贝尔的真名被透露为比约恩:不完美的语言印记导致了豪瑟尔在动物问题上的言语错误,这意味着它永远不能用贝尔这个名字来对付他,因为这是错误的。千子被击败,太空野狼离开普罗斯佩罗。战斗结束后,卡斯佩尔·豪瑟尔与黎曼·鲁斯进行了最后一次谈话,然后自愿进入无限期停滞状态,这样他就不能再被用来对抗野狼了。

In an interview with Mira Manga, Dan Abnett states how he had a seizure and went through the process of getting diagnosed with epilepsy during the writing of Prospero Burns. In retrospect, fans have brought up to him that said book can be viewed as being about epilepsy, in a way. Dan didn't believe this at first, but when he went back to check things people have told him he absolutely agrees, however states it was completely unintentional. Said similarities are themes relating to memory: displacement from gaps in one's memory alongside waking up in strange places. Recognizing certain signs preceding his seizures, being a strange smell unlike anything he's smelled before. And a sense of Deujavu or faked memory, not being able to trust things.
在接受米拉·马格纳采访时,丹.阿伯奈特讲述了他在撰写《普罗斯佩罗之焚》时如何癫痫发作并经历了被诊断为癫痫的过程。回想起来,粉丝们告诉他,这本书在某种程度上可以被视为关于癫痫的。丹起初并不相信,但当他回去检查人们告诉他的事情时,他完全同意,但表示这完全是无意的。所说的相似之处是与记忆有关的主题:从记忆中的空白中移动,同时在陌生的地方醒来。识别出他癫痫发作前的某些迹象,这是一种奇怪的气味,与他以前闻到的任何气味都不同。还有一种似曾相识或伪造记忆的感觉,无法信任事物。
