Resumen del Editor

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.

Just great

I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this story very much. The narrator completely drew me in with his mastery of inflections and emotion for each character. I will keep an eye out for the next book. Thank you

Solid Space Wolves book

I enjoyed this book. It was a good read. Hope to see some more about these characters and later books.

great listen

Keeble knocked it out of the park like always. Great book all around. I laughed out loud a few times from the Wolves banter. The way the old man running faster than the charging army because of the younger one breaking something was written had me almost in tears.

Space wolves

Space wolves vs Deathguard as well as interesting characters. Narration was very well done as well

Chris Wraight is an awesome Space Wolves writer

As a first book in a series, this book works well. I thought it bogged down in a few places but things really pick up well once the siege of the city starts and the characters are well developed and different enough from each other that they feel authentic and distinct. The second half of the book is action packed after a slow at times first half and everything that happens feels at least somewhat important to the story and its various interlacing plot lines. I enjoyed it and would recommend it to any fan of the Warhammer 40K universe.

I hope there's a sequel

normally don't like reading space wolf stories because I find them to be a tad contrived. However, this one is pretty solid.. Space Wolves versus plague Marines actually works out pretty well. The chapter's history with the sisters of battle is also interesting, and I can't wait to see how they Move with it. I think it's a pretty solid read, whether you're a wolf fan or not.

Space Wolves are back

I really enjoyed this book. Lots of action. Lots of digging into the lore. Enjoy.

The narrator nailed this performance!

I have always loved Chris Wraight's novels about the Space Wolves. Especially, the Battle of the Fang. Blood of Asaheim brings back the enormous suspense and the intensity I felt when I read the Battle of the Fang for the first time. And that was more than a decade ago! Truly an exciting novel to listen to and easily my favorite, thanks to Chris' writing skills and Andrew James Spooner's voice talent!

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

Love it!

I love these lore stories, they bring the whole 40K universe alive. Vilka Fenrika!

Great book
