Space Wolf: The Second Omnibus

2009Lee Lightner

4.8/5

Not much to say that hasn't already been said before, but I'll say just a few words to show my appreciation.I really, really loved these books, all of them. I'd give four and a half stars but Goodreads won't allow that. WOLFBLADE by William King was the only book that I can remotely say was my least favorite though I truly loved it. King's sense of humor shone in this one and was readily more apparent than the two books written by (I'm assuming) Mike Lee and someone named Lightner... Torin and Gabriella were interesting characters but Haegr became a favorite of mine. I fell in love (in a manly way, of course) with the big brute and he made an already good story excellent. Not sure why William King stopped writing this series, but it was passed onto to excellent hands.SONS OF FENRIS by Lee Lightner was not at all a disappointment. I enjoyed delving into the rivalry between the I Legion and the VI, I admit, however, that I was literally shocked when the two started killing each other. An actually shooting war between Astartes chapters is, I suppose, a sad reality of the Imperium but still I found it very stunning. The reveal later on that it was all part of a larger Chaos ploy, allowed it to make more sense. A good book, very enjoyable.WOLFS HONOUR was my favorite of the trilogy. Non stop action on an epic scale to send off the series. SPOILER: My favorite part of the novel was the fireside scenes between the Wolfblade and the Blood Claws and the 13th Great Company survivors. To hear the reminisces of Leman Russ from those who witnessed him were fantastic and automatically made me pine for more Russ in the Horus Heresy series. I liked how the curse of the Wulfen was dealt with and how even a Wulfen could become a hero of Fenris. Finally, I would be remiss if I didn't shed a manly tear of sorrow after the death of Haegr. Sure he was fat and a bit, well, not the brightest bulb in the lot. But I couldn't think of anyone better to have my back in a fight, his death literally saddened me and I stared at the page for several minutes, and re-read his death several times. After I closed the book, set it on my 'Warhammer 40K Bookcase' (which is now quite full) I drank a toast to his memory. All in all a hell of a good series with an excellent ending. I only wished we could see more of Ragnar Blackmane, Torin and though it's an impossibility, of course more Haegr. Read these, you'll love them and be a devoted son of Fenris forevermore.
