About this listen

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.

Written by Gav Thorpe.

At times, particularly early on in the reading it's hard to follow which character you are hearing from as there is no clear gap or change between paragraphs from the narrator. He simply carries on like another sentence. it gets easier as the characters are established

It's a good story, but the space Wolves are just so obnoxious and annoying that I really struggled. They've certainly got a lot of personality, but mostly come across as deluded cultists. Their whole outlook is backwards and they just wallow in their wrongness like dogs in excrement.

Space Wolves are tools

Only gripe was the chapters were messy so it made it difficult to follow between breaks. Otherwise it was fantastic.

Great book.

It actually pulls off being a great action book with some heart there is plenty of set dressing for the dawn of fire series it moves the plot forwards but I really liked Gaius character story best part of the book

Loved it Especially if you a Space Wolf fan

Poorly edited. The different storyline’s that are supposed to happen concurrently seem to take radically different timeframes.
Having the events of the captured navy crew, the Primaris Wolves, the historians, the native Fenrisian psyker all start at the same time was fine. Tying all those threads together in the finale was ridiculous after how divergent their timelines were.
I usually like Gav Thorpe but this one was trash.

Not great

Generally a good idea to avoid books by this author. He writes easily the worst 40k books, there are so many better options

Weakest 40k author

I honestly cannot finish either book two or book 3. there is barely any storyline and the ready is only good for putting you to sleep

did AI write them read this series?
