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.

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.

The narrator was amazing

Another epic Necron tale from a talented author and even more exceptional narrator. I hope they make more Necron centered books.

Another Necron Banger

Another great insight into Necron society and values. Necrons continue to be the best xenos faction to read about, aside from orks.

Outstanding Necron story

All the plotting and scheming you'd expect, and a surprising amount of character development and existential dread.

Excellent display of Necron strength

This story did a great job of conveying all my favorite parts about the Necrons. Their inhumanity, the horror of their existence, the terrible force they bring against their enemies. The characters were fun and the plot was engaging. My one quibble about the story is that it got a bit formulaic by the end with a series of back to back "oh no" moments. But overall it was well written, well performed, and an excellent choice for anyone wanting a dose of Necron storytelling.
