One of the challenges of the physical novel is its non-linear timeline and the inclusion of extensive "flavor text"—excerpts from in-universe books, manifests, and historical records. In the audiobook, these interludes serve as atmospheric breaks. They allow the listener to breathe between the high-tension chapters of Trazyn and Orikan trying to outmaneuver one another on the planet of Solemnace. Chakravartin Ashoka Samrat Episode 1 💯
At its core, the book is a character study wrapped in a heist thriller. It spans thousands of years, chronicling the cold war between two Necron nobles. Trazyn is a hoarder of history, a curator who seeks to preserve the galaxy’s greatest moments (and people) in stasis; Orikan is a chronomancer, a prophet obsessed with predicting the future and securing his own destiny.

The defining feature of the audiobook is the performance by John Banks. The Necrons are a race of robotic skeletons, stripped of their souls and trapped in metal bodies. A lesser narrator might have defaulted to generic "robot voices"—monotone, tinny, and flat. Banks, however, does something far more sophisticated.
