Summary
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.

Nate Crowley on form once again
Definitely need to read Ruin first! What a book, Nate as ever is truly on form and really brings to life the necron way. Have recommended to friends that had no context on the BL lore but whom have thoroughly enjoyed this writers depth of scene and characters. As always 5 star read from Mr Crowley.

Great second book
I enjoyed this book, admittedly I enjoyed the first one a little more.
The middle of the book does, for me at least, lose its way a bit but its brilliantly tied together and a great story of the madness of the necrons.
A must read

Amazon look into Necrons
Very well written and fairly well narrated book allowing one to look into Necron culture, struggles and way if thinking. This story mąkę mang node and references for establishment fans, with the endjng being a particularly amazing treat. It may, however, be a bit difficult for newcomers. I still highly recommend to give Twice Dead King a try.

More please
The sun,--the bright sun, that brings back, not light alone, but new life, and hope, and freshness to man--burst upon the crowded city in clear and radiant glory. Through costly-coloured glass and paper-mended window, through cathedral dome and rotten crevice, it shed its equal ray.

The character-driven story of a relatably imperfecf Necron king, more human than humans.
Excellent insight view of a relatable king of whom infallibility is expected but who fails a lot because he is finite, like all beings.

The best WH40K I have read so far.
We want more Necrons! This is by far the most complex and yet unexplored faction in WH40K.
