Publisher's summary

Book 2 of the Space Wolf Series

Grandfather Nurgle spreads a deadly plague across an Imperial planet. The young Ragnar Blackmane responds to the Inquisition’s call for aid, but can he save the world in time?

LISTEN TO IT BECAUSE

It's a rip-roaring action-adventure tale that pits the Young Wolf and his pack against the might of the forces of the Plague God. It's got a very memorable Great Unclean One and an insight into the Space Wolves' relationship with the Inquisition.

THE STORY

A deadly plague is ravaging the planet of Aerius, and millions of Imperial citizens are dying. Inquisitor Sternberg turns to the fearsome Space Wolves for aid in recovering the ancient Talisman of Lykos, which he believes can cure the corruption ravaging the world. Ragnar Blackmane and his squad of Blood Claws embark on a near-suicidal mission to retrieve the talisman before it is too late. But this is no ordinary plague, and the servants of Nurgle await the Space Wolves. Will they be able to overcome the forces of Chaos, or is Aerius doomed?

Written by William King. Narrated by Phillip Sacramento. Running time is 10 hours and 56 minutes (approx).

Superb in everyway

Outstanding writing. The Narration is perfect. I loved this whole series. The best I've listened to since the Horus Hersey. Has some great serious bloody battles. Suspense and intrigue. Humor too, My favorite part is the witty banter and good natured ribbing between Ragnar and his battle brothers. Anyone who's been to combat with a tight nit group of warriors will recognize and appreciate how spot on it is. I was emotionally invested in not only Ragnar but the secondary characters as well. When one would fall in battle I felt it, I cared. I listened to the while series back to back and couldn't wait for the next. I'd give it 6 stars if I could.

well done.

start to finish this has been an amazing book. looking forward to reading more on Ragnars progression from this author.

Just being a nerd.

At 30:04 in chapter 7. “He indeed might drown.” 3rd lung prevents that Mr. King. Still love the story though.

More Classic Ragnar!

Everything feels in place here, a must read for any Space Wolf fan. Marines feel like marines, they're survivable but can't do everything. While the supporting human cast more than makes up for their fragility!

Saga of Ragnar Blackman p2

Loved it, great story. Loved the varied locations and enemies. Good performance by Sacramento

Ragnar Rizzmane

The dynamic voice acting and the sense that nearly every critical character is facing the threat of death.

I absolutely loved it

OK, so this one is completed they need to hurry up with the next in the series and the rest of the series as this is my favorite series in Warhammer. I have all the books they need to get it on audible, audible.

The weaker book of the first 3

This book was overall really good. Compared to the first and third, it is not as good. I still enjoyed it and it definitely kept me interested in this series.

Great sequel

Great classic adventure across the grim dark future. Continuation of Ragnar’s story as it sees him experience the world outside of his home world. A more light and fun story with an entertaining cast, I particularly enjoy the interactions between Ragnar and his space wolf comrades. A good tail to listen to casually or as I did painting my own space wolf army.

what a fantastic choice for narrator

I love the space wolf books by William King, so I knew I'd like it. pretty solid space wolf action, but the narrator really made it great. I first heard him in the vorbis conspiracy and I really hope he does more warhammer crime or just warhammer in general.
