SYNOPSIS:
The feral warrior-kings of Fenris, the Space Wolves are the sons of Leman Russ. Savage heroes, few can match their ferocity in battle. After half a century apart, Space Wolves Ingvar and Gunnlaugr are reunited. Sent to defend an important shrine world against the plague-ridden Death Guard, the Grey Hunters clash with the pious Sisters of Battle, who see the Space Wolves as little better than the enemy they fight. As enemies close in around them and treachery is revealed, Gunnlaugr and his warriors must hold the defenders together - even as hidden tensions threaten to tear their pack apart.
REVIEW:
Usually I’m a huge fan of the Space Wolves and any action that they take part in, however this time there was just something about it that I couldn’t get into. It wasn’t a badly written book, far from it but for me I found the character one that I just couldn’t associate with, the action sequences seemed a lot of the same old what’s gone on before and for me it really didn’t give me something unique or a tale that stood out on its own.
That said, the author does give it some good action sequences, some solid prose but all round for me, it’s a book that I just couldn’t get on with.

SCIENCE FICTION REVIEW: Warhammer 40k: Space Wolf Omnibus 2 - William King, Lee Lightner
BOOK BLURB:The Space Wolf Omnibus combines superb science-fiction drama with military battles on an epic scale, featuring the legendary hero Ragnar Blackmane.
REVIEW:
It’ll come as no surprise but I’m an absolute huge fan of the Omnibus’ that BL release every so often as, for me, they’re pure entertainment at a knock down price. What you have in this offering is the handing off of one of the originators of the Warhammer 40k Universe to a Younger Author which happens seamlessly with no discernable changes in the characters personality and keeps up the explosive action that brought the BL to the worlds notice. Following the exploits of one of the most famous Space Wolves as war against mankinds foes take him from one end of the universe to another though various personal challenges and acts of brotherhood that demonstrate the sheer determnination and stubbornness that appeals to readers. Cracking value and something that is a must own for all WH40K fans.
