Hadrian Marlowe, a man revered as a hero and despised as a
murderer, chronicles his tale in the galaxy-spanning debut of the
Sun Eater series, merging the best of space opera and epic fantasy.
It was not his war. On the wrong planet, at the right time, for the
best reasons, Hadrian Marlowe started down a path that could only
end in fire. The galaxy remembers him as a hero: the man who burned
every last alien Cielcin from the sky. They remember him as a
monster: the devil who destroyed a sun, casually annihilating four
billion human lives--even the Emperor himself--against Imperial
orders. But Hadrian was not a hero. He was not a monster. He was
not even a soldier. Fleeing his father and a future as a torturer,
Hadrian finds himself stranded on a strange, backwater world.
Forced to fight as a gladiator and navigate the intrigues of a
foreign planetary court, he will find himself fighting a war he did
not start, for an Empire he does not love, against an enemy he will
never understand. Read what everyone is saying about Empire of
Silence: 'A good read . . . a space opera with a feudal, in many
ways medieval society where religion holds sway and heretics are
extravagantly tortured . . . most of the technology is like magic .
. . I've not read sci-fi of this type for some time' Mark Lawrence,
Sunday Times bestselling author of The Prince of Thorns 'The Name
of the Wind but in space . . . an excellent SF story' Goodreads
reviewer, 'Everything from the dialogue, the action, to the
worldbuilding is simply excellent and I loved damn near every page
of this book' Goodreads reviewer, 'A fantastic interstellar fantasy
tale . . . Just terrific and leaves you waiting desperately for the
next instalment in this new series' Goodreads reviewer, 'Great
protagonist, great supporting cast, incredibly creative
worldbuilding, in a world that feels truly huge' Goodreads
reviewer, 'Superb. It really is a mix of Dune & Name of the
Wind. Brilliant insightful writing too. One of the most refreshing
space operas to come along in years. Loved. It' Goodreads reviewer,
'This book took me for one hell of a ride, that's for sure . . . It
kept me reading for hours and hours at a time' Goodreads reviewer,
'Set in a sweeping sci-fi political landscape that rivals anything
constructed by Herbert . . . This is great, great stuff. 5-stars'
