About this listen

Book One of the Space Wolf Series

The saga of Ragnar Blackmane begins! From savage tribesman in the cold wastes of Fenris to superhuman warrior of the Space Wolves Chapter, this tale charts the beginnings of the Young Wolf, the birth of a hero of the Imperium.

LISTEN TO IT BECAUSE

It's a Black Library classic, and the start of a six-book series that delves into the early life of Ragnar Blackmane. Discover his past, his pack, and the deeds that led him to glory and fame. In the 20 years that have passed since its release, its appeal has only grown, and this audio edition is the perfect celebration of that.

THE STORY

On the grim death world of Fenris, the Space Wolves Chapter selects its aspirants from the best and brightest of the young tribesmen. Ragnar of the Thunderfist tribe finds his life changed forever when he is chosen. After being revived from a savage death on the battlefield, Ragnar is recruited into the fearsome Space Wolves Chapter. He is then thrown into a galactic war against the dark forces of Chaos. However, the implanting of the Canis Helix unleashes his primal instincts and Ragnar must fight to control the beast within him.

A fun origin story

This was a fun listen to the origins of the character of Ragnar Blackmane. As a long term Warhammer fan I honestly didn’t know much about the character to start with, but man I got invested in his journey in becoming a Space Wolf.

Aspirant becoming a space marine.

This was a good view on aspirants becoming full blown space marines. Great characters. Emotional and satisfying. Ragnar is one of my all time favorites. Loved it!

Great intro to the Warhammer 40K franchise.

Fun and a good listen. I am new to the 40K world and just started making my first minis. I am sure you can guess my army. I watched a few intro videos on the internet about the world and the space wolves. Afterwards I found this book and thought I give it a go. I honestly enjoyed it very much. A classic origin story told about a life of a normal warrior and his journey to becoming a Space Wolf. I would definitely recommend to anyone as an intro to the world.

Arc 1 of the Space Wolves shonen

This would be a good first Warhammer 40k book! Unfortunately for me this has gotta be somewhere past my 100 novels mark, but that's on me for leaving this so long. For people just jumping in and want a popular Space Marine chapter to follow, you can't go wrong.

Some of it is dated by lore standards but there is still a lot of fun stuff here. It is skewed a bit too young for me, especially since most of it is focused on boy Ragnar's life on Fenris and the proving trials. Also, being familiar with King's Gotrek and Felix books, a lot of his repeated phrases turn up here ("split his skull" "he KNEW he was going to die") which can be eyeroll-worthy.

However, Philip Sacramento REALLY punches this material up a notch. I'm not super familiar with him but after dozens of books of Keeble and Longworth, Sacramento sounds much different, in a good way, and adds some real pathos to the older members of the Rout.
