A Space Wolves Novel

Sent to defend an important shrine world against the plague-ridden Death Guard, the Space Wolves clash with pious allies who see them as little better than the enemy they fight.

Liston to it because....

It's a fresh look at the Space Wolves, focusing on pack dynamics and their relationship with the wider Imperium—plus, of course, plenty of savage action!

The story:

The feral warrior-kings of Fenris, the Space Wolves are the sons of Leman Russ. Savage heroes, few can match their ferocity in battle.

After half a century apart, Space Wolves Ingvar and Gunnlaugr are reunited. Sent to defend an important shrine world from the plague-ridden Death Guard, the Grey Hunters clash with the pious Sisters of Battle—who see the Space Wolves as little better than the enemy they fight. As enemies close in around them and treachery is revealed, Gunnlaugr and his warriors must hold the defenders together—even as hidden tensions threaten to tear their pack apart.

Written by Chris Wraight. Narrated by Andrew James Spooner. Run time approx. 13 hours 39 mins.

Good Wolf Lore

The story was okay. The capabilities of the characters seemed like they were too emotional and story was too predictable. For a space wolves novel it’s okay.

Squad drama

This book is basically going over the struggles of being in a space marine squad. Members butting heads and working things out. Shows the range of personality between every individual space wolf. (They’re not all just big killing machines) well they are but there’s more to it! Hahaha. Good book. it’s not one of my favorites but still loved it. Of course I recommend, it’s 40k!

A good tale

A good tale but somewhat difficult to get into but awesome space wolf action for ever

What is a Space Wolf?

I tried really hard to like this book. There is too much internal strife and political undertones. The idea that Space Wolves would hold a grudge about something like this is not how I understood them. The main character was recommended to serve with the Inqusition and their leader approved it. So when he returns to the Fang, the guy who took over the pack was bitter about it. I don't really see the SW acting like what happens in this book. They would have accepted the orders of the pack leader. The attempt at sexual tension between the main character and the liaison was forced and not something I equate with Space Marines. There are flashes of SW in the book, of the wildness in the way they fight, some of the ways they interact within the pack, but everything else doesn't fit in my opinion.

scifi savages and nuns team up to battle plague

kind of, but really, great tension between Sisters of Battle and Space wolves, ending up with common ground friendship and bonds, and who better to team up and befriend each other than going against the likes of some lonely stinky nurgle worshippers
