About this listen

A Dawn of Fire audio.

Book three spins the saga of the Space Wolves as they stand against rampaging xenos hordes. Logan Grimnar faces a momentous decision that will impact the future of the chapter itself.

Listen to it because: discover how the Cicatrix Maledictum affects even the most stubborn and steadfast of the Imperium’s warriors, as traditions the Space Wolves hold dear may be stopping them from defending the Imperium to the best of their abilities.

The story: the Indomitus Crusade has brought the Emperor's vengeance to thousands of star systems. The fleets and armies under the leadership of Roboute Guilliman fight for the survival of humanity against the forces of the Chaos Gods. But the traitors and heretics are not the only foe looking to destroy the rule of Terra.

Xenos prey on human worlds in numbers not seen for millennia. Worst amongst them are the rampaging orks, whose migration conquests threaten to reverse the many gains of Fleet Primus. And their throaty bellows carry a name not heard in years, of destruction made flesh, a bestial warlord without peer: Ghazghkull Mag Uruk Thraka.

In the midst of this brutal tide is Fenris, the world of the Space Wolves. Depleted by ever-greater demands on their warriors, called upon by the Legion-breaker Guilliman, the Wolves of Fenris face a momentous decision. Grimnar and his counsellors must choose whether their fate is to ally themselves with an ancient rival and risk all that makes them the Vlka Fenryka or to accept their demise and wait for the return of their own primarch and the coming of the Wolftime.

Written by Gav Thorpe.

Vlka Fenrika!

Great story, really good exploration & expansion of familiar space wolf themes. The really intriguing difference is seeing them & their ways in detail through the eyes of various different outsiders, with varying relationships to them. Great character building & depth, spread across imperial humans, normal citizens of a ‘death world’, and marines, both Primaris and firstborn.
Excellent narration & brilliant pacing. A brilliant entry in the Dawn of Fire series and a worthwhile listen for any fan of the space wolves, even if you haven’t read the other books in the series!

First Wolves Thunderdome

A good novel, and brilliantly narrated.
A lot of good ground covered and I especially appreciated the additional Deep dive into the wolves, primaris but also Girlyman and Fenris.

It’s a shame that ultimately the book meandered a bit, too many plot lines, too little time, the great wolf is undercooked, and a little goofy, it’s a bit long it parts and I think the entire Orkhulk and Ork plot line could’ve been dropped but for the fact the writer had marching orders to foreshadow Thrakka.

Ultimately I think it was a great novel but makes me want to have more details on Fenris, I think the best standout is Giaus battling Fenris itself and the more time dealing with this, fleshing out the Mythlogical creatures and such, would’ve been far more interesting

A slower continuation of the series

As per most Warhammer books this one is amazingly performed. The writing itself is also great but the story didn't capture me anywhere near us much as the pervious books in the series. Its exciting to be on the cutting edge of the current lore for the 40k universe but this one just lacked a bit of pace for me. Still worth a listen if you want to be on top of the current lore and stories in the universe.

Did not expect it to be this fun.

Normally Space Wolf novels have a tendency to devolve into overused wolf terminology. This is thankfully not the case in this story. However, the ending does fall a little bit flat. Other than that, an amazing depiction of life on Fenris and the Wolves.

Great insight into the Indomitus Wolves

strong edition to the dawn of fire series, good insight into how the wolves see the changing imperium. Narration was well presented and kept me engaged in the story

Wolf time ?

I know that fans of fenris were hoping this was THE Wolftime and the return of Russ but let’s be honest if Russ returns then that is the end of the space wolves so I didn’t expect that at all, it’s a decent story lifted by John Banks superlative narration, we have custodes, & historitors leading us in to the future with their thread and it was great to have the Fell Handed back even if briefly

Solid Listen, Great Space Wolf Lore

If you like the Space Wolves, you will like this. it also ties in nicely to the Avenging Son story arc. my only criticism is that Audible cant list chapters properly, meaning its easy to skip or miss bits in car mode... as chapter 22 is actually chapter 20 (1 and 2 are intro and prologue). I wish it was smoother to use in the car.
