About this listen

Get ready for Attack of the Necron, the first action-packed story in the Warhammer Adventures: Warped Galaxy series, brilliantly read by David Tennant, the tenth incarnation of television's Doctor Who.

The adventure begins....

Zelia Lor's life changes when alien Necrons attack her home planet and tear it apart! Separated from her mother, Zelia must escape the doomed world, her only hope a scrambled transmission promising safety at a mysterious place known only as the Emperor's Seat. She is joined by a ragtag group of survivors: the street-tough Talen, gadget-obsessed Martian boy Mekki and superintelligent alien-ape Fleapit.

Like many, when I first heard they were writing a 40k children's book I thought there was no way that could work. You can't make a children's story in the setting that created the phrase grimdark, but I'm happy to be wrong here. It is a children's book, short with an uncomplicated story and relatively simple language, but it is recognizably 40k and for a children's book it's quite dark, there is a not inconsiderable body count here. The author manages to capture quite a lot of the 40k universe and tone while still keeping the book child friendly. The story has mostly enjoyable and interesting characters with enough stakes and twists and turns to keep you invested for its short runtime, and David Tennant gives an excellent performance as the narrator.

It's a small story (by 40k standards) with small characters playing a relatively small role in the vast 41st millennium, but that's not always a bad thing, sometimes it's nice to look at the the small people scuttling around behind the vast armies and titanic personalities of 40k. If you're curious and have a few hours to spare give it a go, like me you may be pleasantly surprised.

Surprisingly good
