Staff Pick
All the rave reviews are true. Rath is glib, Warhammer lore-effacing, rule breaking, playful, and ridiculous while still delivering all the best aspects of the Warhammer canon we know and love. Infinite and The Divine details the ancient (somewhere in the realm of 100 million Before Emperor) history of the Warhammer universe with a delicious mix of high-IQ-slapstick-pulp and guns-blazing action. Highly recommended for anyone, but mostly for you. Recommended By Adam B., Powells.com

Synopsis
Explore a story told across the millennia that delves deep into a pair of fascinating necron characters, their relationship and their plans for the galaxy. 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. But when an artefact emerges that may hold the key to the necrons' next evolution, these two obsessives enter a multi-millennia game of cat and mouse that ends civilisations, reshapes timelines, and changes both forever. As riddles unwind and ancient secrets are revealed, the question remains: will their feud save the necron race or destroy it?
