Got on a 40K kick so I listened to the audiobook version of The Infinite and The Divine.

This is toxic old man yaoi but the old men who hate each other to the point of obsession are robot skeletons who are millions of years old.

10/10, it actually got me interested in Necrons as a faction.

...I did not have "Warhammer 40K book gets me to ship robot skeleton dudes" on my bingo card for this year…

Btw, y'all should buy The Fall of Cadia by Robert Rath, if you haven't already. Another straight up winner from the man. Provoking & enjoyable portrayals of Creed, Cawl and Trazyn (among others). Many beautifully depicted death scenes that are picturesque in their tragedy. It is, to me, one of the rare books where you actually have a true sense of the Imperium losing, and the ground-level impact contained therein. If any of you have played Halo: Reach, it evokes that same sort of feeling.

This book about soulless robots has so much more heart than most any other stuff this setting has provided, it’s great

“The selection process took two standard years of bickering, politicking, and the occasional threat of violence. It was, in other words, a standard Necron court case.”

I just finished Dune, and not sure which of my three options I should read next, so here's a poll (that inevitably won't really get any votes, so I'll still have to make the decision myself but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯)

Option 1 - Pariah by Dan Abnett - A book centred around Bequin, a character I liked from Dan Abnetts earlier books (The Eisenhorn trilogy), that goes for being a mind-bending thriller set in Warhammer 40k

Option 2 - The Iliad by Homer (translated by E. V. Rieu) - It's the Iliad. Ancient Greek story of Achilles' rage, and the horrors of the siege of Troy

Option 3 - The Infinite and the Divine by Robert Rath - An odd couple comedy about a pair of immortal, kinda-undead robots that hate each other. Also 40k

So, I just tried to listen to The Fall of Cadia audio book, right? It's written by Richard Reed, so it's bound to be good, it's got my two favorite characters in all of Warhammer, so it's bound to be good, right?

But that narrator.

I tried, honest to God I tried, but he makes every Necron sound like Skeletor's gimp cousin, and every guardsman sounds like a damn leprechaun. Not to mention the whiny, nasally cawl.

Like, I get that I'm just spoiled by John Banks' Cawl and Richard Reed's... everything, but come on, man.

The worst part is I still really want to read it, cause the actual prose sounds like it would be fantastic if it were anyone else reading it. At this point, all I can hope is a redone audio book, like they did for one of the Dark Imperium books. (I think it was Avenging Son, but I could well be wrong.)

My favorite little thing about "Assassinorum: Kingmaker" has to be the amount of effort that Robert Rath has clearly put into an organic appearance of Green Knight at the climax of his knights story, and the corresponding amount of restraint that he has shown by never letting the words "green" and "knight" appear next to each other all throughout it, despite a very literal green knight being a rather important part of the whole thing.

#it is a very good book #Robert Rath has to be the best thing that happened to Black Library in years #no shade to the whole plethora of relatively recent great BL authors #I just think that he brings in something truly fresh and unique by not being a primarily sci-fi writer #his penchant for invented history and culture is something I craved in 40k books for so so long #may all your factions get a Rath treatment #is my new warhammer blessing #warhammer #warhammer 40000 #imperial knights #officio assassinorum #assassinorum kingmaker #Robert Rath

Timeshift | Weeknotes

As I write this, it’s super early on Monday morning. I’m using the ‘Timeshifter App‘ for the first time as I’m leaving for the Autonomous Worlds Assembly in Istanbul tomorrow. This app is supposed to help you avoid jetleg and feel fresh where, and whenever, you travel. All my friends who travel a lot swear by it – not only for sorting out ones body clock but it drastically reduces the chances of…
