Empire of Silence by 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.
Empire of Silence is epic science fiction at it's most genuinely epicRuocchio has made something fascinating here, and I can't wat to see what he does next * James S.A. Corey, New York Times-bestselling author of The Expanse novels *
Space opera fans will savor the rich details of Ruocchio's far-future debut. * PUBLISHER'S WEEKLY *
An intricate and well-thought-out plot, a propulsive narrative, and a smooth-as-silk prose... an excellent SF story and a book to look out for. * BOOKNEST *
Christopher Ruocchio's Empire of Silence is epic-scale space opera in the tradition of Iain M. Banks and Frank Herbert's Dune, without being a clone of either of them. His is a welcome new voice in science fiction * Eric Flint, author of the bestselling 1632 series *
One of the most enjoyable SF debuts I've read in a long while. Think Dune mixed with Gene Wolfe's Shadow of the Torturer series, but for a contemporary readership... celebrates all of the joy and the sheer enthusiasm of old-fashioned Space Opera. * SFF WORLD *
Empire of Silence has the sweep and political intensity of Dune (though no sandworms). It builds to a blazing climax, followed by a satisfying conclusion. I recommend the book * David Drake, bestselling author of the RCN series *
If you can't decide whether to go for science fiction or fantasy with your first summer read, might we recommend Empire of Silence. * DEN OF GEEK *
This is, in short, a stunning debut. This is an incredible novel that I took my time to truly enjoy. I feel very lucky to have taken the first step on the journey with this character and his universe. * THE BOOK BAG *
Like The Fellowship of the Ring, this book is more about the journey than the destination. * SFX MAGAZINE *
Blends epic fantasy and scifi. * SCIFINOW *
It's sci-fi that feels as epic as an epic fantasy does. It feels as epic as Dune. * SUPER STAR DRIFTER *
I really enjoyed Empire Of Silence... it's great fun, and I'm looking forward to hearing more from Hadrian Marlowe's adventures. * SF AND F REVIEWS *
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 *
