One of The Best Warhammer 40k Novels out there -  |
Space Wolf: The First Omnibus Review |
|
I've read many Warhammer 40k novels. Other than Eisenhorn, this takes the cake. Its a three book in one (an omnibus) that tells a futuristic story of how a man gains the honor of becoming a Space Marine. It has the action-adventure of a DieHard film, the mystery and evil of 24, and the fellowship of the legendary firefly crew. |

Space Wolf: The First Omnibus Review |

Ive been reading the horus heresy books and i have the space wolf army in 40k and when a friend told me about the space wolf books i had to read them so when i found the omnibus i had to get it the book starts out before Rangar became a space wolf and then takes you though the changes that he gose though becomeing a space wolf. if you are like me and love the space wolfs then this book is for you i love it read it if you want to know how the space wolf are made in to one of the most effective fighting forces know. |

Disappointing -  |
Space Wolf: The First Omnibus Review |
|
The Space Wolf Omnibus is just short of 800 pages of poorly executed sci-fi action set in the Warhammer 40,000 universe. The author's style (or lack thereof) is rudimentary, particularly evident and offsetting in the first novel, which at times is so clumsily and laughably written that reading it becomes an unpleasant effort. Every action of the main characters is preceded by arrays of superlatives, as King struggles to competently convey the sense of scale and "authentically" depict Space Marines. There is very little character development, aside from the predictable pattern of the protagonist progressing from a naive youngling to a weathered veteran of a thousand battles.
It's not all bad, though. King somehow manages to create likable characters the reader may eventually grow to care about. The dialog is often amusing, and the omnibus does get progressively better toward the end. Two and a half stars for this mess - one for the setting and one and a half for the effort. I did try to like it. Recommended to w40k geeks like myself and no one else. |

A must have for fans of WH40K. An excellent Sci-Fi adventure series. - |
Space Wolf: The First Omnibus Review |
|
William King's Space Wolf novels have helped shape the world of WH40K. This omnibus collection contains the first three (of five) and would serve as an excellent place for WH40K first-timers to get an introduction to the world and setting. Through reading of the ascension of Ragnar Blackmane and by witnessing his trials and battles throughout the Imperium, much can be learned about space marines and the WH40K universe.
The first book of this omnibus edition, Space Wolf (Warhammer 40,000: Space Wolf), chronicles the rise of Ragnar. From a young member of a small islander tribe of Fenris to the glory of an ultimate warrior of the Imperium, this is a tale of growing and learning. Because Ragnar is devoid of any knowledge about the universe and proceeds to learn and observe, this book serves as an excellent introductory book to the WH40K world. Principally, this first book serves as an introduction to Ragnar and the Space Wolves, and nothing much more. Almost like a primer for the next books in the series. The second book, Ragnar's Claw (Space Wolves), tells of Ragnar's first adventure off-world of Fenris. He and his claw are sent to assist an inquisitor on a mission to collect an ancient artifact and save a hive city from a deadly plague. Their mission takes them through vast distances to fight orks, genestealers, and daemons in a multitude of different environments. The character of Ragnar is further developed, with him being critically wounded only to be revived with a new fear of mortality. There is an undercurrent of uneasiness throughout the book that is only explained in the last couple of chapters as the heroes discover the true puppeteer of their mission. The third book of the trilogy, Grey Hunter (Space Wolves), is my personal favorite. It has a much more epic feel with a heavy involvement by many Imperial forces, including a battalion of Titans. The planet of Garm, an industrial world that has special ties to the Space Wolves and houses a Shrine to Russ, has entered a civil war in which the forces of Chaos seem on the verge or bringing about the resurrection of the Thousand Sons Chaos Marines. Nearly the whole Space Wolf chapter is mobilized for an immense invasion of the shrine world -where they find great adversity. The action and suspense of this final novel is the most intense of the three and caps off this omnibus edition in grand fashion. The fighting scenes and descriptions of the Space Wolf Space Marines are excellent, and as Ragnar discovers the vastness of the Imperium the reader develops a better understanding too. Perhaps the best aspect of this book is the sheer epic feel. The multitude of enemies Ragnar encounters and the vast spaces he travels make this stand out as an excellent resource for those wishing to learn more about the WH40K world. The only complaints I have with these stories arise from the writing of King. He tends to over-use descriptive words and phrases, creating a very repetitive feel to some of the scenes. Overall, a must have for any WH40K fan and highly recommended for any fan of Sci-Fi. |

Damn Good Book - |
Space Wolf: The First Omnibus Review |
|
This is the best book I have ever read if you like Warhammer 40K than this is a must have. But even if you have never played or read a Warhammer book before this is probably the best one to start out with. It tells you how space marines become space marines and how the universe is viewed through the eyes of humans in the 41st millennium. Also you do not need to know alot about the Warhammer history to understand this book. This book is a great read and I recommend it to everyone. |
