MaveriK Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 not sure if this has been mentioned before.. but has anyone read these yet? I was just looking through The Black Library site and saw it.. a brand new Space Wolves story from Chris Wraight. http://www.blacklibrary.com/all-products/kraken-ebook.html and http://www.blacklibrary.com/all-products/runes-ebook.html Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/249610-kraken-runes-ebooks/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khine Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 I'm just reading it at the moment .. it seems pretty good so far. I'll come back later when i'm further through it.

I'll come back later when i'm further through it. awesome! could you do a simple write-up review on here for everyone? which of the two ebooks are you reading? as soon as I saw Space Wolves, I immediately wanted to know more and eventually get it for myself.

Arez Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 Why does Runes have a GK on the cover? :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/249610-kraken-runes-ebooks/#findComment-3023565 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khine Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 I'm reading Kraken right now, i wasn't aware that there was a rune one as well but i'll have a look later on. Â Of course i can do a review :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/249610-kraken-runes-ebooks/#findComment-3023566 Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that GK cover is the artwork for the entire book. Here is a small extract of RUNES, from Victories of the Space Marines (PDF) http://www.blacklibrary.com/Downloads/Prod...pacemarines.pdf Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/249610-kraken-runes-ebooks/#findComment-3023570 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khine Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 i've probably read enough to give a tiny review. Mav, i think you're going to want to read this one. Â Kraken - Even though this is a small piece of literature, it delivers a perspective on the individualist culture of the sons of Fenris. A saga of a warrior, a tale of the hunt and a search for lost honour. It emphasis the barbaric outer image that the sons of Fenris go to great lengths to project and proves to all that those of Russ can accomplish feats that rival any who have come before. The style of writing leaves something to be desired but still a must read for anyone who wishes to deliver a saga of their own.

Long Fang Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 By Russ' hairy arse I hate ebooks.... Â Hopefully these, and others which we hope are to come, will be released in as a proper book as the Gotrek and Felix shorts have been.

Bikeninja Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 I read Kraken last night. It was awesome. I do not like the layout so much but it was still a great read and does the Sons of Russ proud. Very nice. Just now saw Runes and bought it will post when I am done. Great to be a Space Wolf.

Bikeninja Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Runes is pretty cool...not as good as Kraken but a fun read none the less. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/249610-kraken-runes-ebooks/#findComment-3024389 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marmande Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Kraken was great aside from Wraight mixing up Rune and Wolf Priests, but honestly aside from that it was a great little read.

Lord Ragnarok Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Kraken was great aside from Wraight mixing up Rune and Wolf Priests, but honestly aside from that it was a great little read.  Finished "Kraken" last week and I must admit the wolf priest/rune priest was a downer for me.(just makes it look like not enough homework was done). But I got over it and realized everything else was great. Really gets into the mind of a SPOILER....------ > Lone wolf  Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/249610-kraken-runes-ebooks/#findComment-3035497 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chapter Master Ignis Domus Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 By Russ' hairy arse I hate ebooks.... Hopefully these, and others which we hope are to come, will be released in as a proper book as the Gotrek and Felix shorts have been.  I know for a fact that Runes was first released in a paperback anthology, and I'm guessing Kraken was too.

Russ Brother 92 Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 one thing - if you guys like the shorts then I suggest getting the Legends of the Space Marines anthology ;) has a really nice story in the apostate era (invasion of Fenris by Cardinal Bucharis) called Twelve Wolves.

Lykos Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Thats what I get for posting so late. I did find both stories to be okay for short stories. Kraken being the better one in my opinion.
