The Infinite and The Divine (Warhammer 40,000)

Product Information

Most Gods awful 40k novel I've ever bought. For all their aeons of regal-ness & suchlike, they're just grumpy, petty, morons. It's not even so bad that it's funny. I'm 2/3rds in & it's still going nowhere & doing nothing. For the best viewing experience, we recommend using old reddit version - https://old.reddit.com/r/40kLore/

Time Master: Orikan is the most skilled chronomancer of all of his kind, and it gets him out of more than a few tight situations. Trazyn. Our ships are without atmosphere, unpressurised,’ Orikan said. ‘Do orks… breathe?’ A pause. ‘They have lungs.’ Prepare to repel boarders, Orikan signalled. In case.” PDF / EPUB File Name: The_Infinite_and_The_Divine_-_Robert_Rath.pdf, The_Infinite_and_The_Divine_-_Robert_Rath.epub Adventure Archaeologist : Evil Overlord version, but Trazyn will always be a treasure hunter first, ruler of an interstellar kingdom second.History requires two parties – the historian and their audience. Without that, one is just talking to oneself. So kindly stop screaming and you might learn something.” Listen to it because: 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. Both of these Necrons are scholars. Indeed, it's noted that except for the small detail of being made into undead robot murder machines, any actual fight between them would have been laughable more than anything else - they are best suited for mental rather than physical competition. This scholastic rivalry is based not just on imagined Necron society, but also the same kind of dynamics that fuel competing theories of knowledge today. It has a particularly personal resonance for me - I'm a historian by profession, but am the child of mathematicians, and have had these same arguments at the dinner table. Even more broadly though, there is a contemporary tension between these competing forms of knowledge - what kinds of learning, study and research is valued and what isn't. For those of us working in universities right now, the struggle between kinds of knowledge at the heart of this book is very real.

Lord General, show me an island and my Guardsmen will take it. It is not a question of victory or defeat. It is a question of how many waves you are willing to lose.”Authors, if you are a member of the Goodreads Author Program, you can edit information about your own books. Find out how in this guide.

Unskilled, but Strong: Trazyn and Orikan are not skilled warriors (although Orikan did briefly train to be an Immortal when he was alive, making him decent at grappling small foes), but they have bodies that are incredibly durable, immensely strong, and can react much faster than most things in the galaxy, so they are seldom in actual physical danger. Mistaken Identity: One of Trazyn's exploits ended up this way, as a world he accidentally wound up saving from an Ork invasion ended up seeing Trazyn and his Necron legions as a chapter of oddly-adorned Space Marines, christening them as members of the Silver Skulls chapter and the planet erecting statues in their honor. Trazyn recounting the whole endeavor to Orikan somehow manages to make the Necron's Perpetual Smiler nature even bigger in delight by the absurdity of it all. Trazyn paused in his visual scanning and looked at Orikan square. 'I... of course I would. It would be my greatest joy to once again feel a soul within me, to taste, and touch, and feel.'

Sitcom Arch-Nemesis : The fued between the titular duo. Either this, or Arch-Enemy, as their antics range from comically petty to horrifyingly cruel. There have of course been many, many posts about it on this forum - I don't really post here myself, but I do enjoy lurking as a bit of a guilty pleasure and it's very common to see excerpts, commentary and theories from those who read and enjoyed a 40k book that hit some very different beats to the norm. However, there is one aspect of the book's core themes that hasn't really been highlighted here before as far as I can see, so I decided to break my 'lurking only' rule to share some thoughts. There will be spoilers.
