In the grim darkness of the 41st millennium, the Imperium is protected by Space Marines, superhuman warriors who battle tirelessly to protect humanity from aliens and the dark powers of Chaos. The White Scars are an old and noble Chapter, their apparent wildness and savagery hiding a cultured and spiritual nature. When one of their recruiting worlds comes under threat from a splinter fleet of Hive Fleet Leviathan, Joghaten Khan leads the 4th Company to protect the planet from the rampaging tyranids. But all is not as clear as it seems. Though the White Scars find their efforts hampered by mysterious enemies, they also receive an offer of aid from a most unexpected quarter. Without help, their mission looks next to impossible, but are their newfound allies to be trusted?

Read it Because
The White Scars get a rare outing in the 41st millennium in a high-octane action novel which sees the Khan's sons defend their hunting grounds from the might of the hive fleets.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Robbie MacNiven is an author and freelance journalist living in the Highlands of Scotland and currently enrolled as a student at the University of Edinburgh, studying History. His ambition is to become an author in much the same way that a 5 year old, when asked what he wants to be when he grows up, will say “a fireman” or “an astronaut.” He takes thin but wholesome comfort from the fact that the world will always need authors just as it will always need firemen and (presumably) astronauts.

In between studying (at worst only a passing discomfort) and writing Robbie follows politics, football, gaming and stalks magazines and newspapers online to see if they have a “submit” button. A number of his short fiction works can be found on Amazon, and his non-fiction in such publications as Retrospect, Skirmish and Military History Monthly. Should his writing career almost invariably fail he intends to flee to North America, buy himself a musket and a red coat, and join a re-enacting group. He generally prefers cats to dogs, and is 23 years old.

Awesome read!!

Not much to say about this Warhammer 40k story: It's all about the White Scars Space Marines (pretty much Space Mongol Horde, with some Chinese cultural influences) defending one of their planets against the Tyranids (insectile swarm horrors like the Zerg, but they came out in the late 80s, well before Starcraft was released).

That's almost all you need to know if you don't have a background in 40k. Whether you do or not, you just need to know one more thing: THIS WAS AWESOME!!! Seriously, Robbie's my friend and I generally leave him positive reviews, but it's not just my bias making me say this, The Last Hunt is one heck of a ride. After the opening chapters setting everything up, it's straight-up blistering bug-killing action the rest of the novel up to the end! It doesn't get much better than that--Robbie's portrayal of action scenes is top-notch, whether it's hand-to-hand combat, space naval battles, or the awesome biking setpieces the White Scars are known for. Additionally, he even manages to add some nifty cultural background to the White Scars and their beliefs in between all the bug-stomping, and there are some likable characters as well. Space Marines, given their trans-humanity, aren't usually a whole lot of fun aside from their fighting skills, but there are a couple of White Scars in this story who have a lot of great, funny banter while still keeping entirely with the theme of their brotherhood as power-armored space mongols.

The closest thing to a critique I can have without giving away too many spoilers is that if you're familiar with Tyranid Genestealers, one plot point won't come as a surprise early on. However, there are a couple of others that WERE massive surprises! Again, I don't wanna spoil anything, but I do have to give this away so folks who might be interested will give this book a look: Even if you don't like Space Marines or Tyranids, there's a little bit of Eldar and Dark Eldar scheming here as well, and it helps the story reach its conclusion in a way I REALLY wasn't expecting! I can't say any more than that, of course, but just trust me, no matter who you are, no matter what 40k armies you like or even if you like 40k at all, you gotta check this book out! 5 stars, easily :D

Get a full look at the White Scars in action

Reviewed in the United States on August 10, 2019

The Last Hunt really gets the blend of action, plot, lore and character right for a Space Marine book. I thought every main White Scars POV character had a distinct voice and motivation, bringing them together into a coherent look at what it's like to be a part of this unique First Founding chapter, from tactics to mentality to beliefs.

The plot builds up momentum inexorably, and although some might quibble at the deus ex machina in the end, it fits with the Chapter's mythos really well. The battle scenes are all well-written without resorting to cliches, and each felt unique and visceral, which is a credit to Robbie Niven's skills. I'll be on the lookout for future books featuring the Fourth Brotherhood and the White Scars from him.

Not bad... have read better but also worse...

It is difficult to find White Scars books or books on Tyranids so I was really excited to read this one... I am not disappointed necessarily but it could have been better. Ending was interesting. The battles were fun to read. Didn't get bogged down with long winded talking or waiting in space (which a lot of these novels do).

A another against the odds story line, mostly enjoyable but somewhat predictable and slow.

White Scars and their Eternal Hunt

Reviewed in the United States on June 4, 2018

I've been waiting for more White Scars work to come out and this one does not disappoint. It's got some pretty good character development and for those interested, this new work does take place during the Dark Imperium, roughly close after the events of The Devastation of Baal. It's kind of a surprise that this wasn't added to the Space Marine Conquests series. -SPOILERS- The 4th Brotherhood is front and center in this and they do a great bloody job against this splinter hive of the fleet that attacked Baal. However, the 4th Brotherhood do get some help from the Eldar in destroying a damned Genestealer cult and in exchange are sent into the Webway itself to take revenge and...potentially find the Great Khan in the Webway! Read this cause it has the White Scars riding fast towards glory, both on the ground and in the void, but also b/c it's setting up some more big events in this Dark Imperium.

there's some lore for those that love war. The events of this book like that ...

Reviewed in the United States on June 30, 2018

Solid story and doesn't contradict any previously printed white scar material and believe me if you can say that about any 40k book that's high praise. Characters are well developed the combat scenes are well written, there's some lore for those that love war. The events of this book like that of ashes of prospero show a chapter with a living Primarch looking for a return now that guilman walks again. even without that its a good stand alone book
