Summary
The second 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 Marlowe is lost.
For half a century, he has searched the farther suns for the lost planet of Vorgossos, hoping to find a way to contact the elusive alien Cielcin. He has not succeeded and for years has wandered among the barbarian Normans as captain of a band of mercenaries.
Determined to make peace and bring an end to nearly 400 years of war, Hadrian must venture beyond the security of the Sollan Empire and among the Extrasolarians who dwell between the stars. There, he will face not only the aliens he has come to offer peace, but contend with creatures that once were human, with traitors in his midst, and with a meeting that will bring him face to face with no less than the oldest enemy of mankind.
If he succeeds, he will usher in a peace unlike any in recorded history. If he fails...the galaxy will burn.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Good sequel
Great book. Preferred the narrator in the first book but a good performance non the less. Would be interested for him to expand on the events directly after the events of the first book as the snippets given make it sound compelling. Readers may be slightly lost at first as you are dumped into the middle of a story but it is nice not to be spoon fed by an author.

A bit difficult to get into, I was never gripped.
Maybe it is me being an old man, but I really felt that at times it was disjointed, having said that the words, descriptions and phrases used made up for the slow times. A long book and I have already purchased the other two, but will give them a miss for the time being. need something more realistic for a while.

Excellent second book
This is the second book in the sun eater series, and carries on the adventures of Hadrian Marlow.
This book is a little bit slower than the first, but it makes up for that with the overall plot and the introduction of new characters. The narrator has also been changed and as much as I love listening to Jon Lee, the new narrator is an even better fit for how the story is told.

Took a while but it’s got me hooked
As others have said the switch in narrator took a bit of getting used to. That being said after a while I eventually forgot all about the first narrator.
I adore the prose from this author. There’s a quality Tobit that elevates the story, and the characters. I especially appreciate that while Hadrian could so easily be an edgy Mary sue there’s a realness to him that stops that from happening.
Genuinely intrigued to see where this story goes.

Ok but a disappointing sequel
I loved the first in the series. This one was a bit slower in terms of the story evolution. Creative none the less. I hated the narrator!! He made Hadrian sound like a whining petulant teenager, with very little range of emotion. Most women seemed to have a weird breathy voice. I tolerated it to hear the story but wouldn’t listen to anything from that narrator again.

Narrator might as well be Reading holy Bible
I love the first book some people can read a story make you feel like your sat watching it. And then there book two a new narrator I felt like I was sat in church against my will listening to a priest read the holy Bible. I stopped after the first five chapters couldn’t keep my eyes open.

Please don’t change narrator between 1st & subsequent books
Really annoying that the narrator was changed. I enjoyed the first book, but just don’t like the narration of this one.
