About this listen
A Warhammer 40,000 novel
Pride is everything for the dynastic kings of the Necron race, who have awakened after millennia to see their empires occupied by foul beasts and simple minds. For the Necron Lord Oltyx, the Ithakas dynasty was his by right, but the machinations of the court see him stripped of his position and exiled to a forgotten world.
Listen to it because
See the struggles of the Necron court from their own eyes, and discover the lengths one Lord will go to for the status they desire.
The story
Exile to the miserable world of Sedh, the disgraced Necron Lord Oltyx is consumed with bitterness. Once heir to the throne of a dynasty, he now commands nothing but a dwindling garrison of warriors, in a never-ending struggle against Ork invaders. Oltyx can think of nothing but the prospect of vengeance against his betrayers, and the reclamation of his birthright. But the Orks are merely the harbingers of a truly unstoppable force. Unless Oltyx acts to save his dynasty, revenge will win him only ashes. And so he must return to the crownworld, and to the heart of the very court which cast him out. But what awaits there is a horror more profound than any invader, whose roots are tangled with the dark origins of the Necrons themselves.
Written by Nate Crowley. Narrated by Richard Reed.

Beautiful Sad Robot Bois
Absolutely loved this. We don’t have enough Necron books which is a crime. There are a few pretty dry parts in my opinion, but there are some good spots of humour, action… and heart breaking tragedy. The narrator did pretty well on this too, I enjoyed how he voiced each of the characters. Overall I really enjoyed this, and would highly recommend to fellow Necron fans.

absolute banger
im fairly new to Warhammer lore, have only listened to a few books but watched a lot of Luetin09 videos on youtube which have given me a good grasp on everything. this book was fantastic. i really love the necrons and their history and stories and basically waking up from a nap to a bunch of rowdy kids playing on their lawns. read the infinite and the divine if you havnt already. also a banger

Thoroughly enjoyable and refreshing listen
I have read and listened to over 100 Black Library books lver the years, and this one is one of the most well constructed stories in the range.
Gives one of the most mysterious Xenos factions a much needed dose of character and believability.
The narration is also rop notch and in my top 5 of any performances I've heard on Audible.

A brilliant story
This book really brings the Necrons to life. The emotional journey of the characters is a rare thing in W40K story telling, and this book (and the narrator) achieve this arc well.
