About this listen

The Emperor is enraged. Primarch Magnus the Red of the Thousand Sons Legion has made a terrible mistake that endangers the very safety of Terra. With no other choice, the Emperor charges Leman Russ, Primarch of the Space Wolves, with the apprehension of his brother from the Thousand Sons home world of Prospero.

This planet of sorcerers will not be easy to overcome, but Russ and his Space Wolves are not easily deterred. With wrath in his heart, Russ is determined to bring Magnus to justice and bring about the fall of Prospero.

Dan abnett is so good at making the 40k universe feel less one dimensional. The main character in this book is just a revelation compared to a lot of the by the numbers books set in the universe. Few are truly memorable and this one will still be enjoyed in 50 years time I think

Loved it, great book

Pros:
Good narration as usual. Lemun Russ and Fulgrim appearances (even though short lived). Good story development.

Cons:
Only one actual chapter on the fight from a human's bias perspective who inherently despises the thousand sons because he is cuckolding for the wolves. Lemun Russ appearance is wack, basically painted him as a 2D savage.

The whole book is based around a terran official who ventures to Prospero to document a new account. Through this he learns of the wolves customs and grows to be accepted. Twist in the book is okay. Wouldn't listen to again, not a terrible story just not essential in any way shape or form. Thousand Sons novel was much better than this one and actually accounts for why and what occurred prior to and after Prospero.

Not about Prospero

This has to be my favorite novel thus far in the series. The narration is excellent, as was Dan Abnett' writing.

There are no wolves on Fenris

Decent story with good characters and development. Narration is exceptional including great scandinavial accents that really bring the wolves to life.

Not what I was expecting but pretty good. I was worried by the verbiage in the beginning, but once they started talking normally I really liked it

Space Wolves 🐺

I should have read description so I knew what I was in for. I thought it would be a closer counterpart to the thousand sounds counterpart. it was more

Not what I expected but good nonetheless.

Another excellent Horus Heresy Novel. Be sure to listen to A Thousand Sons before you listen to this to avoid spoilers.

Awesome follow up to A Thousand Sons

The story takes a while to get going (I found the first four chapters to be quite a drag and the chapters are long). The payoff in the end ended up being worth it though. if I had reviewed the book half way through I would've given it a 3 for story but I recommend sticking it out.

narration was beautiful, much better than Thousand Sons though there was much less lore revealed. Do not listen without listening to Thousand Sons first.

Excellent story, slow burn
