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.

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.

Magnificent interpretation of a future SciFi classic

This series has grown and evolved to be more than the previous book. A petulant privileged runaway teen loses everything and sees the truth about how things really work, his redemption arc and path to glory begin. it is in this volume that the story just expands to epic proportions. Across Time and distance, prophecy, power and politics, are already enough to get you killed but add to that aliens, war, heresy, voices and visions and death might find The Half-Mortal before he can save the Empire, Humanity or even just himself!

This is how stories become epic!
