Of all the Emperor’s sons who fell to Chaos, it is perhaps Magnus the Red whose tale is the most tragic. Sanctioned because of his desire for knowledge, chastised, judged, and shattered to his very elements – there is much for the Crimson King to feel vengeful for. Yet revenge is not the only thing that draws him to Terra alongside the Warmaster’s besieging armies. He seeks something, a fragment, the missing piece of himself that lies within the most impregnable place on the planet – the inner sanctum of the Imperial Palace.

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.

Kept alive and imprisoned for 10 thousand years, Luther is the curse and the salvation of the Dark Angels made manifest. None are so close to the heart and history of the Chapter as the man that embodies all that was great about the First Legion and all that is shameful about the Dark Angels. In his story is writ the tale of the Horus Heresy and the fall from Enlightenment in a single long life. Glory, honour, pride, shame and betrayal weave a tapestry of truth and lies that the Supreme Grand Masters of the Dark Angels have sought to understand and unbind across 10 bloody millennia.

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.

Summary
Many are the sagas of Leman Russ, Lord of Winter and War, most fearsome of the Emperor's primarch sons. At the height of the Great Crusade, his Space Wolves fight to bring the rebel world of Dulan to compliance.
Enraged by the defiance of the tyrant Durath, Russ has pledged to strike him down personally - but his brother Lion El'Jonson of the Dark Angels advises more caution. With the might of two Legions arrayed against Durath, tensions nevertheless run high, and the rivalry between the Wolf and the Lion threatens to engulf them all.

Great book, but be caoutious!
Beware, there are SPOILERS for The Horus Heresy! As it is usual with the Warhammer books, this was is superb, in terms of writing and narration. Jonathan Keeble is on of th best. But, if you are like myself somewhere in the middle of The Horus Heresy sequel, be wary of the last chapter. There are some SPOILERS! at the end, and I found myself regretting going through it and depriving myself of some unexpected eventualities in it. So, I hope my experience will prevent his happening to someone else.

Insipidity dull.
The worst kind of 40K novel; endless paragraphs of mindless battle narration.
“He took his <insert stupid weapon name> and blasted the enemy”, “he roared as he hacked and hacked and hacked at the enemy, etc”, “his MK5 pattern bla bla bla blasted away, etc”.
Barely any story here, just swathes of the above, mixed with descriptions of supposed elite gene warriors acting like a mixture of petulant toddlers and deranged murderers.
Avoid this and read maybe the Alpharius novel; a much more intriguing story… in that it actually has a story.
Or if you specifically want to read about Space Wolves, read Dan Abnett’s “Prospero Burns”.

Not really a Primarch story.
Overall this is a great listen/read, well voiced and acted and very atmospheric.
I was hoping it would be more about Leman himself as the story of the great wolf king. not a lore story which every 40k fan knows.
very enjoyable but not what I was expecting.

I'm not a fan of all that's written about Space Wolves, and ESPECIALLY all the secrecy crap with Dark Angels. But this is a good book that is not filled with Bolter Porn, and mostly just good character development for Russ and the Lion.

Character Introduction
Chris Wraight, my favorite 40k author, does excellent work introducing the nature of the Space Wolves chapter and contrasting it with that of the other space marine chapters. The character of Leman Russ is made complex and nuanced while also allowing us to experience his rage and fury. This book doubles my enthusiasm for the rest of The Primarchs books. Also the narrator is outstanding.
Favorite quote:
"He spoke with a voice that was suffused with a patina of epochal sadness."

A great amount of character development for leman russ and the lion. The beginning grips you and holds you steady as the tale is told. The narration is great, as always with keeble. I feel at this point i just won't even need to mention his prowess. I don't like much of the space wolves writing, even as a fan of the wolves they do tend to come off a bit cheesy, and all powerful. This book gives the story of russ and a pivotal moment in his character. I can't say too much more without spoilers. If you are a fan of space wolves, or perhaps even more so you aren't try it out. It may give you some insight into the flaws and virtues of the wolves, and the reason they are what they are.
