In the darkness of the ancient past, the Necrons ruled the galaxy. Such was their mastery of technology and drive to conquer that not even the Old Ones of legend could stand against them. Yet such unremitting war left the galaxy ravaged. Knowing that the recovery would take millions of years, the Necrons took to their stasis-crypts, there to sleep away the aeons until the galaxy was fit to reclaim. In the long millennia since, the younger races of the galaxy have gone about their petty affairs, little realising the peril slumbering beneath their feet. Now the hour of awakening has come at last. Let the galaxy beware - the Necrons are rising. 'Their number is legion, their name is death.' - Eldrad Ulthran
Author
Matthew Ward is a writer, cat-servant and owner of more musical instruments than he can actually play (and considerably more than he can play well). He’s afflicted with an obsession for old places – castles, historic cities and the London Underground chief amongst them – and should probably cultivate more interests to help expand out his author biography. After a decade serving as a principal architect for Games Workshop’s Warhammer and Warhammer 40,000 properties, Matthew embarked on an adventure to tell stories set in worlds of his own design. He lives near Nottingham with his extremely patient wife – as well as a pride of attention-seeking cats – and writes to entertain anyone who feels there’s not enough magic in the world.
