When Great Wolf Logan Grimnar vanishes, the Space Wolves embark on a mission to retrieve him – a mission that might see the end of the Chapter.

But one company has failed to return: that of the Great Wolf, Logan Grimnar. News of his death sends the Chapter on the hunt for the truth, with Ulrik the Slayer at their head.

this is one of those books that is for sure entertainment. there isn't a whole lot of thought to it, but it is filled the action that is predominate in the 40k universe. I am not saying that their wasn't any thought to the story though. it is actually a multilevel story that tells of the search for their missing leader and it provides a closer look at the well established honor code of the Space Wolves.

[Bernd Velling]

The five star rating is tribute to the fact that I am a big Space Wolves 🐺 Fan and that the four authors really were able to capture the essence of the Wolves including some of their most famous ones.
So it’s a great 40k action / popcorn read that flows well and for a space wolf fan a “must read”.

[Steve]

Excellent take on the serial novel, the stories flow naturally from one to the next.

[Joanne]

Space Wolves are one of my favorite chapters, the multi author story arc was done very well, flowed throughout. Great read. probably a 4.5 for the job well done!!

[Andrea Margutti]

As usual in those novels, I find the ending to be a bit too rushed. Other than that, solid book and really good work from the authors. Well done!

[Jack]

Considering I started this right after finishing Prospero Burns, it was a disjointed mess.

Originally serialised in eight separate short stories spread out over a period of months, Legends of the Dark Millennium – Space Wolves now collects together these stories from four Black Library authors into a single volume. Not so much an anthology as a collective novel, it focuses on Ulrik the Slayer and Krom Dragongaze as they embark on a desperate search for Logan Grimnar after the Great Wolf fails to return from his Great Hunt. Each author tackles two parts of the wider story, beginning with Ben Counter and moving through Steve Lyons and Rob Sanders before finishing off with CL Werner.

Logan Grimnar, Chapter Master of the legendary Space Wolves goes missing and the chapter is determined to track him down and punish those responsible for his disappearance. That was such a promising premise. The story focuses on Wolf Lord Dragongaze and High Wolf Priest Ulrik the Slayer. After an initially interesting digression in the Dark Eldar's city of Commoragh, the story utterly falls apart and it's noticeable that these interconnected short stories are made to drag on. As for bolter porn, it has its moments but ultimately there are too many unanswered questions in the plot and character motivation.
