Another great saga of the Rout and the legend of Ragnar Blackmane, the Young King and Black Wolf, as his rage and reckless abandon are discussed by the Rune Priests and weighed against the inspiration and resolve he lends to his battle brothers.

I listened to this as part of The Space Wolves Audio Collection (someone uploaded the whole thing to YT: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TIZem...).

This really was great and an interesting perspective on Blackmane and the 'two wolves' at the icy heart of the VIII.

I went back and forth on whether to give this four or five because there are things much better than this, but I don't do half marks and I try to review in all things by taking away and adding to a perfect score and this only has pluses.

A well done audiobook. Maybe it's me, but the Space Wolves in this seem a little to eloquent, with lots of rambling speeches being made while supposedly in the grips of intense combat. Also, some things don't make sense if you don't know what a Blood Claw or Long Fang is. I looked them up on the web.
