Story
Among the Space Wolves there are as many sagas as there are warriors. Though none quite like that of Lukas the Trickster. Renowned and reviled in equal measure, the Jackalwolf has ever stood apart from his brothers, passed from pack to pack by embittered Wolf Lords. But as a new enemy invades the icy reaches of Fenris at the height of the Helwinter, Lukas finds himself facing a foe who may rival even his legendary cunning - the drukhari corsair, Duke Sliscus.

Fell times have come to the galaxy. Cadia has fallen, destroyed by the onslaught of Chaos. A Great Rift in the warp has opened, and from its depths spew daemons and the horrors of Old Night. But all hope is not lost… A hero, long absent, has returned, and with him comes the wrath of the Ultramarines reborn. Roboute Guilliman has arisen to lead the Imperium out of darkness on a crusade the likes of which has not been seen since the fabled days of the Emperor. But never before have the forces of Ruin amassed in such numbers, and nowhere is safe from despoliation.

As the Imperial armies fight the final battles of the age, Remembrancer Solomon Voss seeks the answer to one question—why does Sigismund, First Captain of the Imperial Fists and greatest champion of the Legions, believe that war will not end? Granted a rare audience with the master of the Templars, the answer takes Voss on a revelatory journey to a time before Sigismund became a Space Marine.

Even when they inhabited bodies of flesh, Trazyn the Infinite and Orikan the Diviner were polar opposites. Trazyn, a collector of historical oddities, presides over a gallery full of the most dangerous artefacts - and people - of the galactic past. Orikan, a chronomancer without peer, draws zodiacs that predict and manipulate the future.

The Carcharodons have hunted for millennia, but now they are drawn into a new blackness...the Dark City of the drukhari itself. Commorragh. For a thousand years, Chaplain Tangata Manu has searched for a relic lost under his watch: an ancient thing, once charged into the keeping of the Forgotten One himself. But at the brink of seeing his hunt fulfilled and the relic returned, it is stolen from under him.

Unless Oltyx acts to save his dynasty, revenge will win him only ashes.

After seven years of bitter war, the end has come at last for the conflict known infamously as the Horus Heresy. Terra now lies within the Warmaster’s sights, the Throneworld and the seat of his father’s rule. Horus’ desire is nothing less than the death of the Emperor of Mankind and the utter subjugation of the Imperium. He has become the ascendant vessel of Chaos and amassed a terrible army with which to enact his will and vengeance. But the way to the Throne will be hard as the primarch Rogal Dorn, the Praetorian and protector of Terra, marshals the defences.

Publisher's Summary
A Space Wolves audio drama boxed set.
In the aftermath of the Thousand Sons' invasion of Fenris, Wolf Lord Ragnar Blackmane is thrown into danger as he hunts a dangerous beast in a quest that will decide the fate of the galaxy.
Listen to it because: Experience the latest chapter in the saga of Ragnar Blackmane in an all-action full-cast audio drama serial that pits the Young Wolf against one of the greatest – and most terrifying – warriors of the 41st Millennium.
The story: Glory returns to Fenris. Magnus the Red and his traitorous legion are defeated upon the icy cliffs of the Space Wolves’ home world, their hollow remains scattered into the darkest depths of the World Sea. Yet Ragnar Blackmane, the youngest Wolf Lord in his Chapter’s noble history, does not feel victorious. He is uneasy. Uncertain of his purpose and place in the great war for the Imperium.
Until a vision strikes him of a terrible beast, one greater than any he or his warriors have faced before. A monster that it is his destiny to confront. The young king throws himself into a quest to meet this fate, for no Space Wolf can turn from the call of his wyrd. Alongside a small band of Space Wolves, Ragnar Blackmane begins what is certain to be an odyssey for the ages, on which will hinge not only the fate of a single warrior, but of the entire galaxy.
Written by David Annandale. Performed by Tom Alexander, Charles Armstrong, Gareth Armstrong, Ian Brooker, Steve Conlin, Andrew Fettes, Jonathan Keeble, Colleen Prendergast, Jon Rand and Richard Reed.
Contents:
Part 1: 'The Call of the Wyrd'

You have got to be kidding me
So the voice actors are really good. The production quality is very solid. All in all, 2/5 stars is the best it could manage.
So from the author of the worst novel in the Horus Heresy series (The Damnation of Pythos) and the worst of the Primarchs series (Roboute Guilliman, Lord of Ultramar) comes the worst audio that I have listened to from anything Games Workshop related.
David Annandale has succeeded in compelling me AWAY from interest in his book, away from the most colorful and entertaining of the Adeptus Astartes (the Sons of Leman Russ), and making me stop the torture of having to endure Ragnar "Plot-Magic" Blackmane's idiot hero fabrication.
I love Black Library! I have and have read literally hundreds of their books.
The story doesn't advance logically, things happen, "just 'cause," the characters are magically said to improve and develop as if through sorcery or, worse yet, just because the author said do.
I cannot finish this farse of a story or the coronation of the "Young King" when he is s knuckle dragging moron of a character.
David Annandale, stop ruining the 6th legion.

Dramatized by a Supercast
Of course there are going to be a million and one Warhammer nerds wanting more of this and less of that. Just as in any fictional universe, there are going to be things you love and things you hate. This book is a dramatized script read by some of the most prominent voice actors in the Black Library, which makes this an absolute joy to listen to if you have listened to any of the other series! This book will not change your life, it does not uncover anything astounding in the Warhammer universe, but if you can get over yourself and be entertained for a few hours, this book will do just that. For the sake of fantasy, stop being uppity about fictional universes, sit down and shut up. FOR THE ALL FATHER!

I'm speechless.. it is just, absolutely amazing!
WOW! What a truly epic audio drama. I listened to it as I painted and felt like I was right there in the story with the characters. The scenes, sound effects, dialogue and overall story were just something out of a triple A movie. Whether or not you're a fan of Space Wolves, the Imperium or even Warhammer itself... this is a MUST listen. I much look forward to future audio book releases akin to this. 10/10, kudos Black Library and all who were involved in this creation.
Pros:
EPIC - an storyline of epic proportions, I truly felt like I was there with the Norse/Viking inspired futuristic warriors that the Space Wolves are.
Brilliant Narration - every single voice actor in this drama was fantastic, even those that had only minor parts added so much depth and realism to the story. I can still hear their words as I look back on it now. Absolutely superb!
Cons:
Absolutely none. I could say that the story is too short though in honesty, I think that it is just the right amount. If the story had gone on for any longer it would have maybe made it feel too long and drawn out. This was just the right length to listen to. Perfect for an afternoon of painting.

An actual audio drama!
I’m not accustomed to Black Library producing full-blown audio dramas but this was superbly written and performed by all involved - I hope there’ll be more in the future!
Even if you’re not the biggest fan of the Space Wolves I would still recommend this as it’s a solid tale and, as I’ve already mentioned, it’s a chance to hear a different and much appreciated approach.

A saga worthy of Valhalla
The black library is full of great stories and saga of the beast is one such.
The audio drama style is really engaging with fantastic performances all round.
If you are looking for a more bite sized 40K story to enjoy then look no further, obviously the main focus here is on the space wolves but there are some stand out moments featuring the second sons and the orcs too.

Truly great audiobook
New to audiobooks having read some warhammer books in the past I gave this a go as my first audiobook and have to say I was blown away, the story itself is fantastic but the way it has been enhanced via audiobook is amazing, extremely immersive and engaging I really hope if anyone’s looking through reviews for their next read I highly recommend this title

Superb!
Enticing from start to finish. If you are after that true Space Wolves feel with an older, still brash, Ragnar then look no further!

Great performance, predictable story.
If you own an arty t-shirt with a wolf on it, have a beard and refer to the Space Wolves as The Rout you'll probably love this over the top book of Bolter Porn.
If howling at the moon doesnt get you rock hard and you were hoping for an interesting Imperium vs Xenos story, look elsewhere. The performance and sound effect audios are great, though.

So much potential ...... Bugger
The whole “book” is more of an Audio Drama. In itself this is not a bad thing. The performances of the actor/narrator (s) are very, very good.
Where it’s really let down is the lack of narrative or descriptions leaving one moment to blend into the next without adequate warning. It makes the story feel unfinished and incomplete and at times nonsensical. I found this incredibly frustrating.

A saga to remember
This story was great for fans of space wolves and Warhammer fans in general or though it's hard to explain without spoilers I will say it checks a good amount of 40k story boxes and all the space wolves and Orks so give it a listen mate

Utterly Amazing
A beautiful rendition of an amazing book. I have heard Black Library audio books in the past. Many many times. But this story was just enrapturing. Not as long as i wish it was, only being 4 hours, and i wish it had of covered things that happened after (stuff in the lore.) but the production, telling and voice acting were immaculate, emersive and thrilling. really got the emotion right.

Hail to the Young King!
A spectacular Audio Drama, in this Games Workshop has delivered! I only wish there were more. Captures the Spirit of the Young King perfectly, his impetuousness in the face of authority, his fervour in the face of battle. I really do hope that we see more of this Saga, for there is much more that need be told. However, be warned: this is not the WAAAAAAGH!!! of Ghazgkull Mag Uruk Thraka, this is The Saga of the Young King!
Absolutely loved it, and look forward to listening to it again.

Good story but distracting elements
The background sounds over played the story at times and were very distracting. Length was made longer by unneeded music - giving a fake book length. Should have had an epilogue for after the fight and were both are now so it better linked to the models.
