Story
Before the being called the Emperor revealed himself, before the rise of the aeldari, before the necrontyr traded their flesh for immortal metal, the world was born in violence. Even when they inhabited bodies of flesh, Trazyn the Infinite and Orikan the Diviner were polar opposites. Trazyn, a collector of historical oddities, presides over a gallery full of the most dangerous artefacts - and people - of the galactic past. Orikan, a chronomancer without peer, draws zodiacs that predict and manipulate the future.

Of the billions of greenskins who swarm the galaxy, the name of one strikes fear into the hearts of human and xenos alike—Ghazghkull Mag Uruk Thraka. The Warlord of Warlords. The Beast of Armageddon. The Prophet of the Waaagh! With his tusks, fists and power claw, he does the holy work of Gork and Mork—and soon all worlds will burn in his bootprints. Mystery shrouds the origins of such a beast. Rumours abound that the mighty warlord was once just like any other ork—but if that is the case, how did he rise from a lowly lad to the biggest of bosses?

Now, cast adrift from the Emperor's light and hunted as heretics after their monstrous betrayal, the Night Lords clad themselves in symbols of death and fight the Long War, bringing pain and terror to all who worship the corpse-god of Terra. A summons from Warmaster Abaddon sends these rebels on a dangerous journey that leads inexorably to a conflict with the Emperor's chosen warriors, the Blood Angels.

Publisher's Summary
A Warhammer 40,000 novel
Pride is everything for the dynastic kings of the Necron race, who have awakened after millennia to see their empires occupied by foul beasts and simple minds. For the Necron Lord Oltyx, the Ithakas dynasty was his by right, but the machinations of the court see him stripped of his position and exiled to a forgotten world.
Listen to it because
See the struggles of the Necron court from their own eyes, and discover the lengths one Lord will go to for the status they desire.
The story
Exile to the miserable world of Sedh, the disgraced Necron Lord Oltyx is consumed with bitterness. Once heir to the throne of a dynasty, he now commands nothing but a dwindling garrison of warriors, in a never-ending struggle against Ork invaders. Oltyx can think of nothing but the prospect of vengeance against his betrayers, and the reclamation of his birthright. But the Orks are merely the harbingers of a truly unstoppable force. Unless Oltyx acts to save his dynasty, revenge will win him only ashes. And so he must return to the crownworld, and to the heart of the very court which cast him out. But what awaits there is a horror more profound than any invader, whose roots are tangled with the dark origins of the Necrons themselves.
Written by Nate Crowley. Narrated by Richard Reed.

For Necron fans, old and new.
With Richard Reed returning to the Necrons as a narrator I had high expectations, which he met. His work on ," The infinite and the divine," Being what got me into 40k in general. He shows great range in characters and their corrupt voices. His performance alone makes this a must have.
The story is new and shows us so much more about the Mentality of the the Necron before and after the Bio-transference. Nate Crowley did qn amazing job in referencing deeper lore, characters and war gear that table top fans will be able to identify with ease.
That being said I would most likely recommend this as the Story to start with if you want to learn about the Necron. The intense end to book one really gets you hyped for the second part that is soon to come.

Just as good or better than the Infinite+Divine
The Twice-Dead King: Ruin is a more serious take on Necron's and their society than The Infinite and the Divine was. However, it does a very good job of it. This book is riddled with the Necron's culture and how a noble Necron functions internally. More so, the introspection into how Necrons view flayed ones is also very interesting and is done very well. 10/10 would recommend.

Give it time
This book tricks you at the beginning, makes you believe the protagonist is nothing but a self important fool only thinking of himself and what he's entitled to, his elder a bully and his post a punishment where we'll laugh at his misadventures like in the infinite and the divine. It's not a comedy, it is a tragedy, a beautiful story in fact, must read for necron fans.

A good listen
Richard Reed performance is excellent as always. That alone is worth a listen. The portrayal of the filleted ones is really on point. The author really captured there creepy and bizarre behavior. The main character is well developed. I do love the dive into necron psychology. The thought that they have a rogue code inside them that believes it's alive and they need to be suppress was creative. My only problem was the battle with the Imperium felt rushed. other than that still enjoyed will definitely pick up the next book.

After listening to other 40K books mainly set in the Hersey this was a good change in pace. I was looking forward to another book about the Necrons after listing to Trazyns adventures. I was hopping for a light hearted adventure not a start to a epic new charector that I love and want more of. I am going into stasis till book 2 is out

Great Xenos audiobook
Fantastic audiobook, great narration by Richard Reed, he’s does a great job with all the characters.
The story is about a necron dynasty falling into entropy, and is from the perspective of outcast Necron Lord Oltyx.
I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys Necron lore/books, or anyone wanting a perspective that isn’t from the imperium. I hadn’t listens to any Necron audiobooks until I listened to the infinite and the Devine, and then this which I both thoroughly enjoyed.
It’s quite grim and dark at times, but also being funny and epic, anyone wanting to get into xenos factions in 40k should look into this.

Another great book and narration
This book is fantastic, I could barely stop listening at times.
I find it funny how the race of immortal robots at times seem to be the most "human" of all the races in 40k.
In this book Crowley does an amazing job at conveying the fact the necron (nobility) are individuals that just happen to exist in robotic bodies. The way the different characters are seen struggling with the accumulated weight of anxiety, pettiness and/or vindictiveness that has piled during their immortal wake makes for a very interesting read as they struggle to hold on to their selves, keep themselves sane and all the while deal with an ever more hostile universe.
The only con I can say this book has is its frequent use of WH40k and (mostly) necron terms and names.
If you are like me who isn't that well versed in necron lore you will most likely have to pause and Google some things from time to time. But trust me, it's worth it!
Thanks for reading and have a nice day!

A good warhammer book
First if this is your warhammer book I WOULD NOT recommend this, it uses a lot of in universe technical jargon, if you want a good starter for our robot boys you would be better off reading the divine and infinite. But if you are aware of the universe then it is a really good book

Not big on Warhammer? You’ll probably love this anyway!
Author Nate Crowley has a real knack for writing fantastical characters with compelling and nuanced personalities, and The Twice Dead King: Ruin continues this trend admirably. Despite only having a rudimentary understanding of the WH40k setting, I found this to be a deftly written and at times highly emotional tale of pride, duty and strained relationships set against the entropic decay of a once mighty dynasty.

Necron books for the win!
I am pleasantly surprised by how brilliant the Necrontyr have proved to be as protaganists, first in the Infinite and Divine and now in this beauty. Fantastic story, well told. Can't wait for the sequel.

Another hit
Another great piece by Crowley.
A compelling and interesting story about necron dynastic strugless, suprisingly enough a heros journey for a lord wronged and a dynasty in ruin.
Also for any interested in the flayed ones. This book is great for how much attention and detail the ghouls get.
Story, great
Voice acting superb
A must for any necron enthusiast

A brilliant story
This book really brings the Necrons to life. The emotional journey of the characters is a rare thing in W40K story telling, and this book (and the narrator) achieve this arc well.

great intro to 40k
easy to follow characters thanks to voice work. the addition of a Jewish voice for one of the sub-minds struck me as odd until I thought about the ancient Egypt inspiration.

just not a fan.
honestly I'm not sure if it's because my interest in Warhammer is based on the imperium, chaos and orks but I found this story really hard to follow.... I will give it another listen at some point but for now it's getting low marks for the story. The performance by the reader was fine I was just struggling with everything else.

Amazing Story
Probably one of the best WH40K books that I’ve listened to, and you’d enjoy it a lot more if you’re a Necron fan.
The performance was amazing and I don’t think it could’ve been done better!
The story however, that was the most captivating part. Characters were relatable, the story arc was well paced and all in all it made sense. You could understand why anyone did what they did and the characters were so real that you invested in them. Even those who barely played a significant part.
It is difficult to picture a high risk situation for Necrons due to their reanimation protocol and lots of shiny toys they have. Yet the story successfully pictured the finality that a Necron can face and it was amazing!

Very nice
Easy 5/5, great performance by the reader and excellent story writing. Fifteen words for review required.
