Space Marine Battles #Novella

It is the end of the thirty-second millennium. For two thousand years, since the fall of Prospero, the Space Wolves have hunted their greatest foe, the quarry who escaped them on that benighted Magnus the Red, sorcerer-primarch of the Thousand Sons. Now, Great Wolf Harek Ironhelm has the traitor primarch's scent... Determined to finish what Leman Russ began, Ironhelm sets out to capture and kill his prey, and the Hunt for Magnus begins.

This novella tells of the events directly before the battle for the Fang. The Thousand Sons were supposedly vanquished during the Heresy, but when one of the Space Wolves' ancient enemies is encountered on Arvion, Great Wolf Harek Ironhelm will stop at nothing to hunt them down.

A fun read.

Part of the ever-growing Space Marine Battles series, The Hunt For Magnus is the latest novella to be released as a companion piece to a previous novel, in this case Chris Wraight’s excellent The Battle of the Fang. Available either as a standalone novella or packaged with its accompanying novel into a collection called War of the Fang, it takes the form of a prequel following Great Wolf Harek Ironhelm as he searches far and wide for signs of his chapter’s old enemy, determined to finish what Russ started and finally kill Magnus the Red.

A really strong prequel to Wraight's other novel, Battle for the Fang, but I'd recommend reading this after you read BotF as, while it works really well in deepening your understanding of the characters' motivations, I don't know how much you'd get out of it (beyond Wraight's fine writing and the pounding action) without knowing a lot of the references.

Wraight continues to make the Space Wolves his chapter. The characterization, manifestation of the Vlka Fenryka's culture and the plot all work well together to make this a worthy prologue to the Battle of the Fang.

The Wolves continues on the hunt for their mortal enemies.
