About this listen

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.

Bloody great stuff; one of my faves (and I’ve read a lot of Warhammer)

Some Warhammer titles can be a bit airy fairy and just talking talking talking as I’ve discovered (ie. with ones that concern ‘the Phoenix’). However, with the space wolves you know that you’re just gonna get bonkers, giant macho Viking Wolf men wanting to cut the heads off things all the time. The plague enemy are as repellent as ever, and there’s lots of pus and slime and gore from them. Oh yeah, and some lady soldiers looking after a church.

Wolves and Nuns

I love the space wolves and they were great in this book, extremely interesting and all very unique, loved their dynamics between each other too especially with how each one of them seemed to have some sort of story line of their own (the two main ones having the most interesting relationship). This was my first real exposure to the sisters of battle as an important part of a story and they were about what I expected on the surface, but way more interesting when actually explored deeper, though I still can’t say I am particularly a big fan even if the two main sisters were great. Also, the underlying tension and secrecy throughout the story was interesting to follow, though at times it felt more annoying than anything.

brilliant

I loved this. the sheer level of gore and the detail to the grotesqueness of the death guard was exquisite. this was the perfect rendition of Nurgles forces and the passion of the space wolves was on a different level. the writer has done an amazing job and the narrator needs the highest of praises.

Legendary story and stunning narration!

I was looking for a decent Wolves story and stumbled across this. I never expected it to be this good. A strong 9/10

On a level with ADB

Nice to see (hear) a Black Library author stepping up to Arron Demski-Bowden’s level of character development and story telling through dialogue.

Why are wolfs so juvenile..

listen to hear highly trained centuries old space vikings have troop dynamics like a football team full of 16 year olds with low self-esteem,and some impostor syndrome, fail at almost any grown up conversation.
