You can’t help but love and loathe the space wolves in equal measure, this is a cracking book full of the usual Warhammer grimness and horror but at the same time you actually care about the unpleasant characters that inhabit it
I really enjoyed the book and could not put it down. The plot was interesting and the tale was well written. I look forward to more from King.
I managed to get deep into the Black Library catalogue without ever reading Space Wolf, one of the defining novels of the Warhammer 40k universe. When the opportunity to rectify that arose, I jumped as quickly as a Adaptes Astartus in power armor. King opened a window into a world created for a tabletop game and quickly set the standard for grimdark science fiction. You will love every second of the story of Ragnar, from his beginnings as an unmodified human to his current actions as a proud Space Marine. Space Wolf is a great jumping-off point for anyone interested in Warhammer 40k, throwing you into an eternity of carnage, slaughter, and the laughter of thirsting gods.
I am not sure what changed here from the original edition of the book. If you are just getting into the lore of 40k novels this is a good start as it is self contained and easy to follow. For long time readers who just never picked up a Blackmane book, this is the one.
A classic WH40k novel, re-released for new fans to discover it. I came across King's work via the Gotrek & Felix series, which remains one of my favourite fantasy series. It was interesting to read his take on Black Library's SF setting, even if a lot of the lore has shifted/moved on/developed since this was first written.
A must for fans of the WH40k setting, who want to read about a fan-favourite character. Recommended.
