Galaxy has a lot of secrets hidden inside it and the author Robert Rath tries to present those secrets in his delicate style. It is the fate of the galaxy that hangs in the balance in the middle of this book and for this reason, Richard Reed uses the special demonstrative gear in narration. The narrator showed his skill in The Twice-Dead King: Ruin and Ciaphas Cain: Duty Calls, where the narrator tried to provide a story without a pause to the fans.
Trazyn and Orikan are unique beings with superb powers as described in the novel. One of them tends to collect artifacts from different parts of the universe and he has a special craze for these things. The other one has the power to draw zodiac signs with the help of which he designs the future of the universe. The two are beings in equal power but they just don’t want to work together because their view about the world is different.
Moreover coexisting is something they have never thought about ever. Now when the fate of the Necron race hangs in the balance as another powerful entering the system, Trazyn and Orikan have no other option but to work together.
Together they use their power to get to an artefact which both of them want and then they realize that the thing seems to be out of their hands. The obsession does not decrease and it is their need that brings them close and acts as a single unit for some time. It is an epic moment for the galaxy because the future can be reshaped forever.
