The fourth 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. The war is going badly. A new alien commander, Syriani, is uniting all the clans under one banner, and using the superior force to carve up the outer edges of the empire. The emperor sends Hadrian, his favorite knight, to the neighboring Lothrian Commonwealth to beg them for assistance. The commonwealth refuses to help and stalls, and while negotiating, Hadrian learns their sparse population is facing starvation. As he prepares to leave to find allies elsewhere, Hadrian is captured by the secret police and is sold-to Syriani. Captured, Hadrian learns more about his greatest enemy as Syriani travels with its hostage to the alien holy planet, impossibly deep behind enemy lines. Story Locale: Outer space Series Overview: The Sun Eater series follows antihero Hadrian Marlowe as he recounts the tale of his controversial life in a galaxy-spanning saga that combines the best of space opera and epic fantasy.

Rezensionen
PRAISE FOR THE SUN EATER SERIES:
'Space opera fans will savor the rich details of Ruocchio's far-future debut, which sets the scene for a complicated series... Readers who like a slow-building story with a strong character focus will find everything they're looking for in this series opener' Publishers Weekly.
'With the scope of Dune and a confessional, first-person voice that puts us into the mind of a possible madman, this is space opera at its most riveting and grandiose' B&N Sci-Fi & Fantasy Review
