Space Wolf #3
Grey Hunter
Book 3 of the Space Wolf Series
Ragnar and the Space Wolves are despatched to the sacred world of Garm following the theft of one of the Chapter's most sacred relics, the Spear of Russ. But the forces of Chaos are everywhere, and an ancient enemy lurks in the shadows.
LISTEN TO IT BECAUSE
It's the tale of one of the defining events in the life of Ragnar Blackmane, and a thrilling continuation of the ten millennia-long battle between the Space Wolves and the Thousand Sons.
THE STORY
Ragnar Blackmane is unique among the Space Wolves in ascending to the Wolf Guard without ever being a Grey Hunter. But how did he manage such a feat? The beginnings of that story are told here.
When the Spear of Russ, an ancient relic of the Space Wolves once wielded by Leman Russ himself, is stolen, the Chapter seeks its return on the world of Garm. But when the forces of Chaos ambush them, the enraged Space Wolves learn that there is more to the attack than they could have guessed, for an ancient enemy of the Chapter is prophesied to be reborn.

This is the third book in William King's "Ragnar: Space Wolf" series. King wrote the first four novels in the series (there are six total). The next (fourth) one is *Wolfblade,* and is King's last one (a new writer takes over after that). *Grey Hunter* takes place on the Chaos-infested planet of "Garm," where a corrupted chaos priest, Sergius, has stolen the ancient relic of the Space Wolves Chapter, "The Spear of Russ," and is using it to execute a summoning ritual for resurrecting a group of "Thousand Suns," evil heretic space marines from the era of the *Horus Heresy.* This includes a lot of military action, fun dialog and banter, and great post-apocalyptic atmospherics (Garm is an industrial wasteland ripped apart by war). I enjoyed reading this a lot. Ragnar develops somewhat. He goes from being a hesitant greenhorn (novel 2) to a more confident, aggressive, confident warrior aware of some of his flaws. There are some really interesting passages where Chaos is characterized. Chaos Space Marines are excellent bad guys: trash-talking demon worshippers. The epic conclusion is worth it. If you like Warhammer 40k, you will enjoy this. Last comment: King's writing style fully harmonizes with this kind of unpretentious storytelling. He writes in short, punchy sentences and eschews excess descriptions and interior/psychological narration (although there is some of that where it is necessary).

The first half was the best this series has offered so far, but the second half lost me.
Act 1 provided everything I could want from a Space Wolves story - cold moments, high stakes, non-stop action and the entire chapter getting stuck in. I also love the little tidbits of lore provided throughout - with each book I read my knowledge and love of the surrounding context only increases.
Once we got past that initial surge however, I found the story struggle to get going again. It felt like there was a lot of text for the sake of it - long stretches did little to drive the plot forward and left me wondering how the author managed to take 5 pages to explain something that could be said in 5 words - this is the book that has made me realise that whilst I love the content I can’t get behind the author’s prose.
I also didn’t like the handling of Ragnar’s supporting characters. There were two “deaths” in this book, both of which were extremely underwhelming and disrespectful to the characters’ legacies. I have no issues with them dying, especially in a setting such as Warhammer, but when we’ve been following them for 3 books they should be treated with more respect than being killed off in one sentence and forgotten about in the next.
Definitely the weakest in the series, which is disappointing as it was on track to become my favourite. Still, there are a lot of enjoyable sequences to be found here and I have every intention of continuing Ragnar’s saga in the coming weeks.

A good solid action fix. This book keeps a good steady pace and doesn’t lack in the action department. The author does well at painting the picture without being excessive and gets you rooting for Ragnar as the main character. However the dialogue can be super cringe at times and the trash talk in the final battle is hard to read.
The action is engaging and satisfyingly gory but the internal pondering of Ragnar interferes often and bogs and slows down the fight scenes somewhat. It didn’t distract as much as book 2 but maybe it was that the subject of his pondering wasn’t as stale and repetitive this time. But yeah too much unnecessary pondering mid battle.
Definitely enjoyed this more than book 2 and I’m looking forward to book 4.

Ragnar Blackmane is all grown up and looking for promotion in the ranks of the Space Wolves. The action scenes are as strong as ever and Ragnar's banter with his packmates remains entertaining even if the dialogue can be clunky.
The plot isn't quite as strong, not helped by an awkward framing device, and an unnecessarily high-stakes quest seems oddly secondary to Ragnar's desire for career advancement. There a lot to like though; another easy, fun read that's a cut above many other Space Marine stories.

No joke this book is what managed to get fifteen year old me back into reading. Before this I struggled to read magazine articles.
Its an adolescent power fantasy about space werewolves fighting mutants and dust zombies controlled by evil wizards. The action is fun and quick and the scenery and setting detailed and fleshed out (in some cases literally), and William King manages to inject some character development and what is the nature of man contemplation.

Probably the second best story so fair in the series. Has some great fight scenes and you really see how great fighters the wolves while also battling along side the other armies.
One star down due to the internal monologues within Ragnar as some parts he talks a lot to himself and it just feels like page fillers.
Good ending but it just sets up for the rest of the series.

It's not Ragnar's Claw, to be honest. It IS a solid slice of Warhammer 40K mayhem and violence but doesn't have the plot of its predecessor.
What it does have is the colossal scope of the full force of the Imperium of Man going to war, which is suitably epic but when it comes down to our battle-hardened hero's story, it is just a series of fights.
Of course, if you don't like a series of fights between Space Marines and Chaos-tainted mutants and scum, then don't be reading a Warhammer 40k book.
It's a ripping yarn, just not as ripping as it could be.

Hola Amigos! Как всегда пройдемся по пунктам:
О чем: Сеттинг Warhammer 40к.
Приключения Рагнара продолжаются.
Космоволки узнают о нападении древнего врага - предательского легиона Тысячи Сынов, что захватили святилище ордена на планете Гарм, где находится само Копье Русса, древнее оружие самого примарха из времен Ереси.
Ну и решают отбить назад и копье и планету.
Повествование: Роман написан живее Космического Волка, возможно благодаря смене переводчика.
Темп повествования стал бодрее, а постоянного растягивания и пережевывания мыслей Рагнара стало чуть меньше.
Драматическая составляющая взаимоотношений и внутренние конфликты все так же отсутствуют.
Боевые сцены на том же примитивном уровне.
Зато наконец-то появился сносный юмор, в виде подколок космоволков друг над другом, иногда даже удачных.
Мнение:
После очень слабого и скучного Космического Волка, я решил пропустить ещё более слабый, судя по рецензиям и фабуле, роман "Коготь Рагнара". Но всё же решил дать циклу шанс и прочесть более успешный третий роман.
В итоге уровень повествования стал немного лучше, но в остальном это все такое же скучное чтиво без драмы, экшена и хоть сколько то интересных событий. Отсутствует даже "рабочая" структура романа-становления из первого романа.
Упомяну здесь и о цикле в целом.
Пропустив, явно не шедевральный "Волчий Клинок", я решил ознакомиться с тем, что принес в цикл Ли Лайтнер.
"Сыны Фенриса" начались с достаточно интересной боевой зарисовки, что даже вызвала желание продолжать чтение, но всё испортил перекочевавший из предыдущих книг дурацкий прием - снова пролог оказался написанным просто так и повествование скакнуло в прошлое, никак не связанное с прологом.
И в этот раз такое даже не выдали за воспоминание Рагнара.
Просто Космоволки дерутся с Найтлордами, а потом, на самом интересном месте, все прерывается, и весь роман повествует о событиях "задолго до".
Повторюсь, прием откровенно дурацкий и очень странный.
Желание читать он отбил окончательно. И просмотрев книгу беглым взглядом, могу судить, что ситуация не стала значительно лучше.
На полноценную рецензию это не тянет, поэтому просто констатирую, что романы цикла, оставшиеся без моих рецензий, если и лучше первых, то не намного. Не 6/10, а 7, вроде того.
Оценка 6/10.
Не хватило: интересных событий, динамичности сюжета, раскрытия персонажей, драматизма и прочих составляющих художественного произведения.
Рейтинг "goodreads" - 3.98/5

For the most part I enjoyed this - another bit of wolf-y adventure, but a couple of things did jar.
Negative stuff first; I got pulled out of the story sometimes by use of 20th/21st century expressions that made no sense for Ragnar and co to use. Things like 'we have a date with destiny' and 'I thought the heretics were all on holiday.' These are isolated Vikings from a deathworld who then became superhuman space monks. When did they start saying things like 'date with destiny'? And if any of them have even heard of the concept of holidays, I doubt if it's become part of their natural conversation. It just sounded wrong, and it reminded me that I'm reading the words of a contemporary author, rather than being lost in the story.
On to positive; as you'd expect this is another fun romp with Ragnar and the Claws using the same structure as before, with a prologue and epiloge of 'current' Ragnar telling the tale to the youngsters. In some books that can be annoying as it gives away where the protagonist ends up, but not an issue here as we already know that Ragnar is a playable character as a Wolf Lord. The adventure itself was enjoyable enough, and once we found who the real enemy was I was very invested.
Something I REALLY like about these books is that Ragnar frequently admits (to the reader) that he is afraid. Too many SM books take the 'know no fear' thing too literally and keep using the word 'unnerved' as if they're (irony coming) afraid of fear. King has no such issue, and shows that Ragnar has actual courage by being afraid and then conquering it. He's so much more human as a result.
Overall if you like the Sons of Russ, and can resist hearing about holidays without imagining Sven on a beach in Cornwall, then pick this up

As with the first two books in the series, I'm absolutely loving everything I'm reading.
Ragnar's story continues in brilliant fashion as we learn the tale of his and his Claw's journey towards becoming Grey Hunters. Much in the standard the series has become known for, we learn of these exploits in the way we would learn of an epic Viking saga of ages gone past. Also, continuing story threads making an appearance from the first two novels really wrap everything all together in a lovely wolf-shaped narrative ball.
The pacing of the story was perfect in my opinion, and it didn't feel like it was dragging at any given point. Admittedly, maybe I'm slightly biased in that regard as I can't get enough of the Space Wolves, Ragnar or anything Viking inspired at the moment, so that may have helped fuel my enthusiasm to the piece.
I would highly recommend giving this book a chance, especially if you've already read the first two books in the series. If you haven't and enjoy epic sagas told across the stars then you should definitely pick up the first book 'Space Wolf' as you won't be disappointed.

The book itself was fairly well written. The action scenes were gripping, the twist at the end was unexpected, and the characters were endearing. The only thing holding it back was no fault of the author, it was that I personally don't care about the Space Wolves too much and so I wasn't as gripped as a Wolf fan would be, but again that's entirely on me for just buying the book because it was on sale and not on the author at all.
Normally it would have earned four stars from me, but it lost one because the ending was awful. Without spoiling anything, the prologue of the book promises that you will learn about a certain event and the entire book is named about that event, but then at the epilogue you learn that instead of that book-long investment paying off you instead have to buy the next book (and presumably wait for it to be written, if you bought Gray Hunter at release) to get the promised event. I normally don't mind a good cliffhanger, but this was a cliffhanger done in the worst way.

Another good entry in the Space Wolf series. While I still enjoy the first book in the series the most I do like reading about Ragnar and his chapter dealing with the threat of the Thousand Sons Chaos Marines. There was some good action and some nice introspective character development for Ragnar, which seems to be out of character for the typical Space Wolf. He does seem to be a bit to morose and moody at times but that does not seem to be out of character for the Space Wolf Chapter personality. I am curious to see what I think of their Primarch when I get to read about him in the Heresy novels.
Action paced if fairly predictable its still a solid and fast paced read with nothing really to complain about.

Compared to the previous 2 Space Wolf novels, this one has a lot more combat, for better or worse. For the fans of action sequences, this will come as a relief probably. I am not a fan of 200 pages of combat. But Willian King's prose is so fitting for writing this type of fantasy combat in a science fiction universe that I could get through it very easily. It also helps that Ragnar is in a constant character development mode. I can't say the same about the other characters, but you can't be picky in a novel of fewer than 300 pages focused on action.
It ties in very nicely with the first book and has an ending of the type "and what happens next?", so be sure to follow in with Ragnar's adventures in Space Wolf: The Second Omnibus.

The adventures of Ragnar are just plain fun to read. Every time I would put the book down, to take a break, I’d find myself itching to pick it up again to see what the next chapter has in store for Ragnar and his Blood Claws.
The prologue and epilogue of this book really has me intrigued on how he becomes a Wolf Lord.
Also, I need to see what happens between Ragnar and Madox!

Máis aventuras do Lobo Espacial Ragnar Blackmane. Neste caso, levarao a tentar recuperar a lanza de Russ, en mans de herexes do Caos. Disparos, aventuras e machotismo por todas partes. Diversión sen ambición ni complexos. Para devotos do Warhammer 40k e do seu exército máis salvaxe.

Book 3 of Ragnar's saga, he relates the reason for his rank to his younger troops, gives some history of the Wolves, and discribes some awesome battles. Action packed, worth the time.

Pretty fun stuff, and the more serialized elements of the plot kick in here. Tbh I'm probably influenced by how much a friend of mine loves these books also.

Excellent read! Can’t wait to read more of Ragnar’s tale in further books!

Pretty good! Would've liked a tighter conclusion but what do you do.

4/5 stars. Quite a lot of superbly done battle scenes in this one, although what on earth is that cliffhanger? It's too abrupt....

Quick read. Fun action, although, if you're looking for intricate storylines, you'll not find it here.

Grey hunter is the third book in the space wolves omnibus. It features Ragnar and his great company of space wolves fighting against the chaos to find the legendary Spear of Russ.
Ragnar is fighting his hardest battle yet, hes fighting the chaos sorcerer that he fought as a newly made blood claw, Madox (The sorcerer), back bigger and better fights him to the death to close the portal that is letting chaos flood the world, everyone surrounding him is fighting to survive and also fighting to close the portal. Ragnar fights Madox in a devastating battle and in a last minute choice Ragnar throws the spear of Russ into the portal of chaos, some people deceived him after this action and some thanked him, the majority of people mow hate him for this, but the people that actually understood his actions were the people that were the people that were standing next to him, and fighting with him.

Como estas lecturas me vienen muy bien para cambiar el chip y desconectar, me animé a continuar con la saga de los Lobos Espaciales.
No es que los otros dos libros sean obras maestras de la literatura, pero si me parecieron bastante más completos que este tercero.
¿Qué le falla a Cazador Gris? Para empezar diría que demasiado simple. Comprendo que estos libros solo buscan entretener al público y que además suelen conseguirlo, pero William King podría haber introducido algún giro argumental o trama secundaría para darle más fuerza a la historia.
Tampoco ayuda que el final sea previsible y bastante regular.
Pero no todo es malo, acción hay a raudales y como comentaba entretenido es.
Os dejo el enlace a mi blog por si alguien quiere leer la reseña que le he hecho al libro.

An okay read for the Space Wolves series. It's commendable that the author has taken a story from an universe filled with war and managed to present something more than a gore-fest with a main character that races from battle to battle. The story does more, and actually touches on the politics found within any organization where multiple parties are fighting for the key leadership role. However, for a book that exists within such a pulpy genre, it's almost too introspective. I've heard other readers compare the main character to a weepy emo kid, and sometimes it's too spot on. Still, a pleasant read, with just enough actual substance to make you reflect.

I don't think it helped anything that I jumped into the third book in the series, but I was really meh about this book. I know that 40k can devolve into angry superhumans grunting and shooting stuff, but I really felt that this book lacked substance.
Perhaps they're right about Ian Watson's Space Marine novel; it makes all other 40k novels seem like empty romps for almost-literate 14-year-old boys with attachment issues.

Thrilling adventure.
William does a great job in describing the battles both in space and on ground. I loved the space battle were the wolf fleet was attacked. And the war at the end on Garm was amazing, complete with rhinos and giant robotic titans.
The story is in typical William style, which isn't a bad thing. Straightforward and interesting.

Another great one in the set and again just the right amount of humor on the odd occasion.
Plenty of space marine action and the whole set is very good to read. Ragnar is making his way nicely through his career and the squad is well rounded also.

The third book in the Ragnar series. This time the Space Wolves have to travel to Garm to retrieve one of their chapter's sacred relics which has been captured by Chaos forces.
Plenty of action along the way, in another well written novel in this series.
