Summary

A Warhammer 40,000 Audiobook

Khemet, a disgraced praetorian charged with protecting her tomb world as it slumbers, is roused to action once more. This is her chance to prove she is meant for greater things. She will stop at nothing to see it done.

LISTEN TO IT BECAUSE

It's a chance to see the Necron Empire in a new way. Join a lowly cryptek with lofty ambitions and a praetorian suffering from the worst punishment imaginable – can they work together to reclaim a Necron planet now infested with humans?

THE STORY

As the Necron Empire sleeps, the Triarch praetorians watch and wait.

Khemet has guarded the tombs of her people for millions of years, patiently waiting for the day when the numberless legions of the dead will rise again. As they finally begin to stir, old ambitions and treacheries are roused with them.

Betrayed and imprisoned, dogged by the shame of a terrible failure, Khemet has endured the gravest punishment Necron ingenuity can conjure. Now she is free, offered a single chance to restore her honour and reclaim her standing. For Khemet to rise, a world must die.

Written by Jonathan D Beer. Narrated by Gabrielle Nellis-Pain. Runtime 10 hours and 2 minutes approx.

Overall a good enough story . I enjoyed parts of it but I wanted more intriguing information or lore bits . I’d be ok with seeing more books around her as a protagonist

Solid story with interesting view in the politics of the necrons. Also working adding on top of the much needed necron and XENOS books.

Another fantastic Necron novel to join the likes of Twice Dead King and Infinite and the Divine. Truly a great story and very well read. Cannot recommend this enough for a Necron fan and 40K fans in general.

Necrons rocking the best 40K Novels it seems

The plot was rather simple and predictable with no twists coming truly as a surprise. The characters did not seem particularly fleshed out and more often than not felt two-dimensional, if not borderline cartoonish. On the other hand, the VA did quite a decent job. Overall, just an ok’ish listen, not really inspiring for more than one playthrough.
