Warhammer 40,000: Whispers of Steel

In the 40th millennium, knowledge is eternal damnation. Tech-priest Exxander Statkali discovered a distress signal from ten thousand years ago, and its source pointed to a dead world forgotten by the empire-Xerath. There was no life there, just a continent-spanning steel ruin and an out-of-place black pyramid bearing the holy symbol of the Mechanicus. When the exploration team stepped into the silent sanctuary, what they found was not the sacred object they expected, but a terrifying creature that was half human and half machine imprisoned in a container. The last warning it left was not a gift to mankind, but a death knell for the entire galaxy: "They're awake! Run!!!" Now, Ike Sanders must face a cruel truth: some knowledge should not be touched by mortals; some silence, once broken, will be the end of eternity.
