[Khorne's Fist]

Ok, this is the first time any of the BL hardback books has stirred my trouser area. Looks fairly substantial as well.

Wait what.....

Does that look like Chris Wraight across the top there to anyone else??

I would say so too. I imagine it's the story of how Leman Russ escaped from the Alpha Legion between Scars and Vengeful Spirit.

 

[Angel of Blood]

I hope so, with the Dark Angels, potentially under Corswain coming to their aid. But on the other hand, it may continue that ridiculous plot Mcneill started In Vengeful Spirit, of Russ going after Horus himself.

Sadly it does.

Don't get me wrong, I like how he handles the Wolves, but I'd love to see Abnett do a proper follow up to PB, and undo some of the damage McNeill did in VS.

 

[Angel of Blood]

True enough, but at leas it is Wraight. Not Mcneill again, or Swallow...

I think in one of the Horus Heresy novels it says that the lion was leading the Dark Angels when they saved The Space Wolves.

Word. Looks interesting. Sounds like the story of my life. Looking forward to it.

 

[Lord of the Night]

It is definitely Chris Wraight. It has been years since they were about, but there were rumours about him writing the infamous Battle of Alaxxes.

You didn't like Vengeful Spirit?

 

[Brother Lucian]

Leman Russ returns in a brand new saga that focuses on the Space Wolves' battle with the Alpha Legion, following on from the events of Scars.

Right from the email blast that just went out. Blabber im seeing, is saying its another LE novella. So probably on par with the second Tallarn novella in size.

You didn't like Vengeful Spirit?

Most people didn't Loken, since a number of portions of the book felt extremely throw away or outright bad.

 

[Sevatar]

Oh look, another LE novella. I can't even summon the energy to get annoyed at these releases anymore. It's just meh.

 

[Angel of Blood]

This.....and so much more.

But anyway, I wonder how Wraight will handle the Alpha Legion themselves if this is indeed Alaxxes and he does some from their perspective.

I'm disappointed though if it is a novella. Was hoping for a full length novel..

That's a bummer. I haven't finished it, myself, but it's great to see Garviel again in a novel. (really the only reason I'm reading it). I have to agree with LotN's review, however.

Also, this may be another HH book that I will actually read. The battle of the primarchs are something everyone should read! I definitely won't be buying this by any means, however I may download the eBook and give it a shot. Even though I really dislike the Space Wolves.

 

[Doelago]

Still in full Wolf mode after having read Ragnar Blackmane by ADB, so quite excited for this.

Some would say Fear to Tread is best book of the HH series?
