About this listen
A Warhammer 40,000 novel.
Follow the exploits of Oltyx, who, having finally been granted the throne of the Ithakas Dynasty, now faces far greater threats, from within and without. He soon learns that the lessons of kingship are not quite what he had hoped.
Listen to it because: experience the tumultuous reality of ruling a necron royal court and battling the the Imperium from the perspective of an necron lord whose mind is split into discrete partitions.
The story: after centuries of exile, the necron lord Oltyx has at last been granted the thing he has always craved: the throne of the Ithakas Dynasty. Kingship, however, is not quite what he had hoped for - Oltyx's reign currently exists aboard the dying battleship Akrops, as it lumbers away from the ruins of his crownworld. Behind it is a hostile armada of unfathomable size, launched by the barbaric alien war-cult known as the Imperium of Man. And within the Akrops' sepulchral hold, an even greater threat festers - the creeping horror of the flayer curse. Faced with such overwhelming odds, Oltyx leads a desperate voyage into a darkness so profound that salvation and doom look much the same. If he and his dynasty are to make it through that long night, Oltyx will have to become a very different sort of king.
Written by Nate Crowley. Narrated by Richard Reed.

an excellent sequel to a brilliant book
The sequel to the original twice dead king is much more like the odysessey which has its pluses and minuses story wise, meaning it's beginning and end are better then the previous book (I enjoyed both immensely) but the middle was a little slower. still in many ways it capitalises on the characters and story points from its book 1 excellently. as before the performance is excellent also.

ENTHRALLING
A truly enthralling tale, highlight recommend. A unique insight to the necron mind. Character development is well executed, building a strong connection between listener and character.

Fantastic
Builds, pays off and keeps your interest the entire way through, it's not outshone by the brilliant first book but matches it. What a brilliant series.

Intense, Depressing, Hopeful
A fantastic continuation of the previous story, punctuated by another sublime performance by Richard Reid. It's a 12 hour roller-coaster of emotion shown by some of the most ironically human characters to come out of a race of soulless robots.

Brilliant 👏
This and the first book have easily become my favourite warhammer books, and I've listened to a damn lot 😅
I'm so excited for the return of Oltyx, I can't wait for a sequel

Best Warhammer Xenos book I have ever read
I love this book, its plot and narration were both excellent! For anyone that is even remotely interested in the story of warhammer from a Xenos perspective, this is a must read!

Amazing
The voice acting is amazing especially Lysycor. This duology is well rounded engaging and has a tremendous pay off. The trials and tribulations of Oltyx is truly a great tale.

Great sequel
I feel like the main character made a bit of a regression in development from the first book and some of his decisions seemed really left field for a necron but the revelation at the end kind of made his flawed choices make sense hopefully theres eventually a 3rd book and we can see how he interacts with the other necron empires id like to see them disgusted with him and his people
