Empire of Silence: The Sun Eater: Book One -- Christopher Ruocchio - Paperback

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.

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. /* FONTS AND COLORS */ body h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6 .navbar a, .navbar a:active, .navbar a:hover, .navbar a:visited .product-specs .product-specs td .attr-left .attr-right div.footer .navbar-default .navbar-default .navbar-nav > .active > a /* LAYOUT - CHANGING THESE WILL AFFECT THE SIZE AND LAYOUT OF YOUR AD TEMPLATE */ /* Responsive Columns */ .col-md-6 .col-md-12 .container @media (min-width:768px) .col-md-12, .col-md-6 .col-md-6 } @media (min-width:992px) .col-md-12,.col-md-6 .col-md-6 } @media (min-width:1200px) .col-md-12,.col-md-6 .col-md-6 } .img-responsive /* Responsive Navigation Bar */ .nav .nav:before, .nav:after .nav:after .nav:before, .nav:after .nav:after .nav > li .nav > li > a .nav > li > a:hover, .nav > li > a:focus .nav > li > a > img .navbar @media (min-width:768px) } .navbar-header:before, .navbar-header:after .navbar-header:after .navbar-header:before, .navbar-header:after .navbar-header:after @media (min-width:768px) } .navbar-collapse .navbar-collapse:before, .navbar-collapse:after .navbar-collapse:after .navbar-collapse:before, .navbar-collapse:after .navbar-collapse:after .navbar-collapse.in @media (min-width:768px) .navbar-collapse.collapse .navbar-collapse.in } @media (min-width:768px) } .navbar-brand .navbar-brand:hover, .navbar-brand:focus @media (min-width:768px) } .navbar-nav .navbar-nav > li > a @media (min-width:768px) .navbar-nav > li .navbar-nav > li > a .navbar-nav.navbar-right:last-child } @media (min-width:768px) .navbar-right } Book and Mortar Record Store Empire of Silence: The Sun Eater: Book One -- Christopher Ruocchio

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.

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.

On the wrong planet, at the right time, for the best reasons, Hadrian Marlowe starts down a path that can only end in fire. He flees his father and a future as a torturer only to be left stranded on a strange, backwater world.

Forced to fight as a gladiator and navigate the intrigues of a foreign planetary court, Hadrian must fight a war he did not start, for an Empire he does not love, against an enemy he will never understand.Author: Christopher RuocchioPublisher: Daw BooksPublished: 09/19/2023Pages: 624Binding Type: PaperbackWeight: 1.20lbsSize: 8.20h x 5.50w x 1.50dISBN: 9780756419264
