I wish these guy's would talk to each other about the mythology they put into the books. (thats a general rant however not a poke at the space wolf trilogy)
So far this one seems much better than the Ultramarine omnibus (despite being written before it) this seems written from a much more sensible pov. The story follows Ragnar who is a barbarian from the world Fenris (the home of the chapter) who is "recruited" after his tribe is wiped out, it follows his training in a camp that seems based on the Spartans training system. the books are well written and the characters are very human for all there super human stuff. It also looks at the method a normal human is turned into a Marine.
The first book is a sceen setter for the rest of the series which will probably follow a pattern following the Space wolves vendetta against the "thousand sons" traitor marines.
More when I've finished it.
