About this listen

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.

The first half of the book is a bit too general for me. It's good, and fitting that the story about russ is told as a story. It just feels like for a short book about russ. Half of it isn't about russ.

Through no fault of the narrator, I found this book hard to get into, I imagine it is simply the case of a good book that did not translate to audio platform very well, however, it is still a great title and had very entertaining moments, aided by the drama the narrator skillfully added.

Hard to pay attention to

The narrator is fantastic. Astounding. The story of the wolf and the lion is supremely told with Jonathan Keeble's formal yet growling tone.

A must-listen for 30k fans!

Narrator is Immaculate

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.

Not really a Primarch story.

I loved hearing about Leman Russ; as a 40K player of The Soace Wolves faction, I don’t know much about him besides he’s the Primarch of the Space Wolves. So getting to hear about him and his story that is in twinned with the Lions was an major eye opener for me about. He’s not just a savage (although in combat he is) but he’s a complex personality with a mixture of pride, empathy, knowledge and wrath. It makes for an interesting story and really paints a picture of why the space wolves are the way they are.

Great listen, even on the second and third!

Awesome story

To hear tales of the Wolf King and their long lasting grudge against the Dark Angels is a fine add to the lore of the Space Wolves

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.

Great book, but be caoutious!

Brilliant story of the wolf and the lion. Really filled out the rivalry between the dark angels and the space wolves. Very much worth the listen.
