Summary

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

Magnificent interpretation of a future SciFi classic

The book is a heartbreaking and breathtaking journey into the tragedy of a hero and his friends, who are confronted with political intrigue, unending space monsters and religious fundamentalism, all of which trying to kill them, and failing. But the price is gigantic.
A masterpiece with a voice actor who just adds to all the shades of emotion the right touch.
Epic.

So many hours of listening, the end of Trilogy

It has taken some months to listen to this great Trilogy and have to say although sometimes a bit confused I thoroughly recommend these books to anyone.

Absolute masterpiece!

Christopher Ruocchio is a genius! Wow I could not stop listening! The prose, the lore the expanding universe. The complex characters wow just wow! This is becoming my favourite as Sci Fi story of all time. I don’t know why Hadrian always says if you don’t want to go on you can stop here! Boy I’m not stopping I’m going on with this journey!😂

Brilliant

I’m loving this series.
A great series to read if you are big into epic sci fi. On par with dune, Hyperion and culture series!

star wars meets wolf hall.

if you like star wars and sci fi fantasy with no basis in physics you'll love this but it left me thinking if I wanted to read about knights of old I wouldn't have picked a space opera also the character's are so 2 dimensional they have paper fasteners at the joint's!
