Great Read!,
Ce commentaire est de: Space Wolf: The Second Omnibus (Paperback)
Really great read! If you've read, and liked the first one, you'll definitely like this one! We developed characters, great fight scenes, and a good insight to what the space wolves chapter is really like!

Ce commentaire est de: Space Wolf: The Second Omnibus (Paperback)
It was with great excitement that I ordered the Second Omnibus, and I quickly reread the Space Wolf Omnibus: Spacewolf / Ragnar's Claw / Grey Hunter (Warhammer 40,000) to refresh myself. The Second Omnibus keeps the pace, story, and flow of the First Omnibus and keeps going strong. It was a book that I was hard pressed to put down each night. Ragnar has definitely grown up.I believe someone who has not read the First Omnibus could pick up this book and would get most of the story, which is nice for a book series. It is also some of the most interesting reading in the Wh40k universe out side of Dan Abnett's Eisenhorn (A Warhammer 40,000 Omnibus). 7 of 7 people found the following review helpful

Couldnt finish due to author change.,
By Kurt Langrehr - Published on Amazon.com
Ce commentaire est de: Space Wolf: The Second Omnibus (Paperback)
After finishing the first omnibus I bought the second. I should have just bought Wolf Blade as a stand alone novel and stopped when WK (William King) did. Which is my advice for anyone thinking of buying this omnibus. Stick with King. I couldn't finish Sons of Fenris cause I couldn't stand what LL (Lee Lightner)did to WK's work, so I never read Wolf's Honor either. True, my opinion may be a bit slanted, but I read enough to know that I wasn't going to enjoy their work regardless of how much better it got later. You can quit reading here if you like, the rest is just me complaining.LL picked up where WK left off and immediately dropped the baton. They never get into the heads of the preexisting characters so they just rewrote them as they saw fit. A perfect example is Haegr the Mountain. In the WK novel Haegr was a character that was not only competent, but also played his appearance as an advantage. The big, goofy acting, fat space marine was also fast, deadly, and had FOCUS. The Haegr in the LL novel was a bumbling idiot that was dumb, clumsy, and acted ridiculous. WK Haegr could not only SMELL the scent of gunmetal in a sewer, but could also determine the distance the guns were from him. LL Haegr bonked his head on the inside of a refrigerator and couldn't find a hunk of meat that was literally sitting behind him. They skimmed the book and turned Haegr into a walking cliche instead of building on the character that WK had already made. Also disappointing was how LL only gave absolutely no personality to any new space wolves at all. You don't even learn their names until long after their mentioned the first time. They had a perfect opportunity to add new characters to the fold, but instead chose to just give them names and let them drop like flies. I also find it hard to believe that 3/4 of the entire Wolf Blades who were tasked to protect an entire Household of navigators would be sent to follow 1 navigator to a backwoods planet, especially since the house was still recovering from the MAJOR tragedy where their guards and soldiers were almost completely whipped out. But they send away almost all of their greatest source of martial power to protect one person? No. Sorry, doesn't make sense to me.

I am getting to appreciate most all the 40k novels, but some are better than others. These are some of the better imo.
