The third novel of the galaxy-spanning Sun Eater series merges the
best of space opera and epic fantasy, as Hadrian Marlowe continues
down a path that can only end in fire. Hadrian and his Red Company
have been serving the Empire in military engagements against the
Cielcin, the vicious alien civilisation bent on humanity's
destruction. And they've been successful: a cult-like fervour
building around following a particularly impressive victory. but
popularity comes as a price: an assassination attempt, triggered by
those within the Imperial government who are scared of his rise to
prominence. Now the Empire has turned dangerous, Hadrian and his
crew leave to pursue his true interest: a search for a
long-rumoured connection between the first Emperor and the Quiet,
the ancient, seemingly long-dead race. And he will find the next
key to unlocking their secrets in a massive library on a distant
world. The coordinates for their origin planet. A planet that no
longer holds life, but may still contain answers. 'Empire of
Silence is epic science fiction at its most genuinely epic.
Ruocchio has made something fascinating here, and I can't wait to
see what he does next' James S.A. Corey, New York Times-bestselling
author of The Expanse novels 'Empire of Silence is a rich tapestry
of future history and worldbuilding, a galactic-sized story of a
hero, a tyrant, but portrayed as a man' Kevin J. Anderson, New York
Times-bestselling author of The Dark Between the Stars

In The Last Mirror on the Left, the second Legendary Alston Boys
mystery from Edgar Award nominee Lamar Giles--now in
paperback--Otto and Sheed must embark on their most dangerous
journey yet, bringing a fugitive to justice in a world that mirrors
their own but has its own rules to play by. Unlike the majority of
Logan County's residents, Missus Nedraw of the Rorrim Mirror
Emporium remembers the time freeze from The Last
Last-Day-of-Summer--and how Otto and Sheed took her mirrors without
permission in order to fix their mess. Usually that's an
unforgivable offense, punishable by a million-year sentence.
However, she's willing to overlook the cousins' misdeeds if they
help her with a problem of her own. One of her worst prisoners has
escaped, and only the Legendary Alston Boys of Logan County can
help bring the fugitive to justice! And don't miss the Legendary
Alston Boys in their next adventure: The Last Chance for Logan
County!
