About this listen
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.

I was hoping for this to continue but after some initial stumbles this doesn't get elaborated on an the characters basically get over it quickly. It would have been a great way to ground and sympathize with some of the characters.
The rest of the book delves into a planetary invasion which is pretty typical for a 40k book. I was hoping to skip past this and move on. It felt like a lot was being saved for future books.
The Performance is great though.
Another great Necron novel, but...
