Publisher's summary

A Dawn of Fire audio.

Book three spins the saga of the Space Wolves as they stand against rampaging xenos hordes. Logan Grimnar faces a momentous decision that will impact the future of the chapter itself.

Listen to it because: discover how the Cicatrix Maledictum affects even the most stubborn and steadfast of the Imperium’s warriors, as traditions the Space Wolves hold dear may be stopping them from defending the Imperium to the best of their abilities.

The story: the Indomitus Crusade has brought the Emperor's vengeance to thousands of star systems. The fleets and armies under the leadership of Roboute Guilliman fight for the survival of humanity against the forces of the Chaos Gods. But the traitors and heretics are not the only foe looking to destroy the rule of Terra.

Xenos prey on human worlds in numbers not seen for millennia. Worst amongst them are the rampaging orks, whose migration conquests threaten to reverse the many gains of Fleet Primus. And their throaty bellows carry a name not heard in years, of destruction made flesh, a bestial warlord without peer: Ghazghkull Mag Uruk Thraka.

In the midst of this brutal tide is Fenris, the world of the Space Wolves. Depleted by ever-greater demands on their warriors, called upon by the Legion-breaker Guilliman, the Wolves of Fenris face a momentous decision. Grimnar and his counsellors must choose whether their fate is to ally themselves with an ancient rival and risk all that makes them the Vlka Fenryka or to accept their demise and wait for the return of their own primarch and the coming of the Wolftime.

Great addition to the Dawn of Fire series

I like the Dawn of Fire series because to put it simply: it answers fan questions. What is Bobby-G doing now days now that he's back? How are those new shiny 'perfect' space marines doing with their parent chapters and with each other when not supervised? How are the Custodians doing now they are actually doing something more than standing behind the palace walls? You get the Dawn of Fire series, that's what. While not perfect by any stretch of the imagination it gives insight. This novel takes us into he heart of the Space Wolves chapter and how they cope with the current state of the IOM, the rift and stretched entirely too thin. Their primaris brethren seeking to aid and to be sons of their primarch. Only to have ideals and personalities clash when old meets the new. The title is fitting because it is the topic of the book and main concern of the wolves. Worth a listen. Cannot wait for the next dawn of fire series.

Fenrika

Good saga and great transition. A key read in the future of the space wolves.

Good book but needs more transition.

I often struggled in the beginning of this book rrying to figure out where I was in the world. Often I was just thrown into a different part of the galaxy surrounded by unexpected characters. More solid end of a chapter or transition to the next scene of the story would have been great.

introduction of the primaries to Space wolves

it started off as a slow burner but it picked up and paste really well. flushed out a lot of the characters and gave a nice introduction to the primaries to the original OG Space Wolves.

This story gives you a decent look at Fenris and why having orc neighbors is a bad thing

This story gives you a decent look at Fenris and the Vulka' Fenrikas belief. It also lets you see how not every chapter of SM is going to blindly follow orders. Some demand respect, honor, and understanding before they will decide if you are worthy and others will prove to themselves if they are worthy of the title of Space Marine.

ok...

I wish they had used another title.
overall was good but alittle scattered it made it alittle hard to follow.

A great listen

A great listen, shedding light on the space wolves and their acceptance of the primaris.

Good - can be a standalone too

I love the wolves of Fenris so I'll read anything with them. in this case it was a pleasure. if you are a fan of warhammer 40k and wondered about the primaris transition this is great. if that last sentence made no sense the book is still great!

Good book

Loved the story. the amount of character switching was confusing at first though. but still highly recommended if you love the Wolves of Fennris

This book created a new Space Wolves fan.

This story did a great job quelling the nay sayers out there on how the Primaris marines came to be in Chapters like the Space Wolves. I've never been a big fan of the Wolves and this book has hooked me.
