The second title in The Horus Heresy: Primarchs series, a brand new sequence of novels from Black Library. Many are the sagas of Leman Russ, Lord of Winter and War, most fearsome of the Emperor's primarch sons. At the height of the Great Crusade, his Space Wolves fight to bring the rebel world of Dulan to compliance. Enraged by the defiance of the tyrant Durath, Russ has pledged to strike him down personally - but his brother Lion El'Jonson of the Dark Angels advises more caution. With the might of two Legions arrayed against Durath, tensions nevertheless run high, and the rivalry between the Wolf and the Lion threatens to engulf them all.… (plus d'informations)
This short novel gives us Leman Russ in a very different light - in my opinion much different from the books [b:Prospero Burns|6109704|Prospero Burns|Dan Abnett|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1335316486s/6109704.jpg|6287459] and [b:Thousand Sons|6465063|A Thousand Sons|Graham McNeill|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1280757140s/6465063.jpg|6655533] where he did show his shrewd nature but nevertheless savage approach to warfare.
Although always shown as short-tempered and quite a savage, Leman Russ is much, much more - his savagery a mere mask to hide very powerful and intelligent individual.
He is a realist, aware that only thing his legion is capable of is savage berserk hit and run and total annihilation of enemy. He does not seek glory in establishing empires or planning the attacks in such a way that enemy is defeated even before swords are drawn. He knows he and his legion are blunt instrument and he knows all of the legions are just that - deadly instruments used by the Emperor to achieve his goals.
Only thing that remains is loyalty and Leman Russ and his legion have always been loyal.
But this does not mean that he does not have dark thoughts - what should he do when Crusade reaches the end, what then? What is then to be with his Wolves? if their only gift is battle prowess what can they do in times of peace?
When gruesome mutations start happening through-out the famed 13th Wolf Company during battle with highly advanced Dulan, everything is set for an event that will bring Leman in direct collision course with his brother Lion El'Jonson. Choosing loyalty to his sons over his personal honor coupled with epic short temper will cost Leman dearly on a personal level.
Highly recommended to all fans of Horus Heresy.
P.S.
On a side note, conversation between Dulan Tyrant and Lion El'Jonson is second highlight of the novel. His words echo as a warning of a coming darkness but also as light of hope that darkness can be defeated. ( )
