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.

Run with the wolves

I was very skeptical at first and found it hard to get into, but once the narrative kicks in and the characters are properly introduced, I was fully engrossed in the story. This is a Space wolf book, not a Thousand sons one. Despite being my least favorite faction, Abnett wrote them so well I find myself quite into them. Major twists in the last part which were extremely well done.

Highly recommend it!

when I first read of the counsel of Nikia I was definitly on the side of the 1000 sun's , but with the burning of Prospero I have switched sides. the wolves are one of my favorite legions to date

good book, sometimes the writing is repetitive. The characters are very fun, shows the very important other side to the Burning of Prospero

Prospero Burns was not what I expected, this book breaks the narrative template found in much of the series and in doing so it sets itself apart from “pack” Overall it’s a very well written, with lots of rich characters. It’s now my favorite in the series.

One of the best in the series

The book takes a really interesting approach to the space wolves, and tells an intelligent story that isn't just retelling the same iconic stories. It shows a different side to the space marines, and is overall a good read

Surprisingly good

What's not to love about two primarch's clashing over using "magic" Really liked this one, but it was confusing to follow at some points. This may just be the auditory nature of audiobooks and the fact I'm often doing something while listening.... Good book.

Classic Showdown

A Fantastic story with antastic narration and mazing writing flawlessly integrated into this epic series.

Incredible

I very much enjoy this story, and Dan Abnett’s work, in general.
I didn’t notice this when I first read the book, but upon listening to it, I was struck by the repeated use of the description mentioned above, whenever a member of the Rout started vocalizing.
Not to be a fusspot, because it really is a great read if the Horus Heresy is of interest to you, but it got to a point where I just wanted to cry every time I heard it. I didn’t count, but ad nauseam, fits the bill.
Sorry Mr. Abnett! EISENHORN RULES!

The way this is written and narrated is just purely amazing! If you are a Warhammer 40K fan and a fan of the Space Wolves you will not be disapointed, of that I am certain. I would say more but that would take away from the experience.

Just ... wow!
