I am about halfway through this book and I'd have to say it's a very good read. Nick Kyme is becoming one of my favorite authors. He took a huge leap with the Necrons fluff. He gave them personality not to give anything away basically the "main" necron characters have "flashback" to from before they were Necrons

Itching to read it myself. its in the post so a few days more....

It's a good book I enjoyed it greatly, and normally i'm not too fond of the Black Library's Marine books, as they tned to be a bit 'marines hurr-- we block lascannon with an outstretched palm' .

Not spoilering the endings, but the fluff was interesting.

FoD was very interesting... There wasn't a single thing about the Necrons that I didn't like, they were amazing.

IDK while I agree he advanced the view of the necrons a great deal and gave them personalities... I didnt imagine them squabbaling like Dark Eldar, or feeling fear (which it mentions the lords feel fear in a couple places), and I dont like how they arent any better than tyranids now. If you kill the lord they all go slowed? dumb. Even tyranids without there connection to the hive mind are a huge threat, necrons just defend themselves and shuffle around without the sentience of the necron lord. I dont like that image but thats just my opinion.
