Tomb World

Warhammer 40,000

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.

Nuanced intrigue supplemented by outstanding vocal work.

Both the author and voice actor do very well to portray the heavy concepts this book tackles, and immerse the listener directly into the viewpoint of both Necron, and Imperial.

outstanding. a solid depiction of Necrons from their point a view.

The other stories from the POV of the Necrons are also fantastic, though those stories either have them on the backfoot, or barely show their interactions with the Imperium of Man. This one delves into it center stage and really shows how terrifying and deadly they can be when it's their main objective, while still displaying their arrogance and pride. If you're a Necron fan, give it a read, you won't be disappointed.

Another phenomenal Necron story

Tomb World is an incredible 40K story that covers a sundered Necron Praetorian’s memory, purpose, and self-certainty against the backdrop of a slowly reawakening tomb and a terror-campaign. Very interesting look inside the minds of our favorite tortured and deluded metal guys. If you’re a fan of the Necrons, you’re gonna love this.

A solid Necron tale.

A well written story about a Triach Praetorian is unheard of, so this book gets all my praise for that. Sadly, I felt the book lacked, 'oomph' for some reason. This likely speaks more to my own bias than anything inherently wrong with the title, as it has all one could want from a Necron story.

another understanding of necron lore

Honestly I found this book to be a amazing addition to necron lore and storys. While it cannot hold a candle to its two older and more beloved necron books. That does not reduce its performance, I actually loved this book and it's characters.
