The Twice-Dead King: The Omnibus (Paperback)

A Warhammer 40,000 Omnibus

Inquisitor Ravenor and his followers investigate a daemonic conspiracy that stretches across space and time. This is a war that is fought in the shadows, where there will be no respite, and no quarter asked for or given.

READ IT BECAUSE

As a counterpart to the Eisenhorn series, Ravenor explores new territory both literally and figuratively. This omnibus brings together three novels and three short stories to reveal the arc of Gideon Ravenor's greatest triumphs – and greatest failures – bringing together a cast of compelling characters thrust into a mission that tests them all to their limits. None of them are quite what they seem, and all of them have a story to be told. Some of these stories are brutal and end very, very messily…

THE STORY

In the war-torn future of the 41st Millennium, the Inquisition fights a secret war against the darkest enemies of humanity – the alien, the heretic and the daemon. When Inquisitor Gideon Ravenor and his band of lethal operatives are drawn into a conspiracy to spread the taint of Chaos across a sector, their investigations take them into the gravest peril through space and even time. Wherever they go, and whatever dangers they face, they will never give up until their mission succeeds.

A Warhammer 40,000 Omnibus

An exiled lord of the necrons fights to reclaim his birthright in a pair of novels, while a novella and a trio of short stories recount other tales of these deathless machines.

READ IT BECAUSE
Nate Crowley has mastered the unusual perspective of this mysterious xenos race, offering insight into their strange culture and brutal methods of warfare.

THE STORY
In The Twice-Dead King: Ruin, we meet the bitter exiled necron Lord Oltyx, and follow his journey to take down his betrayers and reclaim his birthright, all while fighting off a massive host of orks.

Oltyx faces a new menace in The Twice-Dead King: Reign – ruling over a faded dynasty and dealing with the Flayer's Curse. Meanwhile, a fresh threat attempts to take everything away from him again – a barbaric alien war-cult known as the Imperium of Man.

Severed brings us to the vaunted Sautekh dynasty, where the Stormlord himself has charged Zahndrekh and Vargard Obyron with putting down a rebellion.

One Million Years pits the eternal necrons against the ambitious Leagues of Votann aboard an awakening necron ship.

The Life of Jethras the Martyr takes us to the other side to see how a lowly pilgrim found a moment of glory in fighting back against the hated necrons.

Finally, Patience tells the story of a Voidborn crewman who encounters Astartes, necrons, and... something else for the first time – and lives to tell the tale.
