À propos de cet audio
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.
It was not his war. On the wrong planet, at the right time, for the best reasons, Hadrian Marlowe started down a path that could only end in fire.
The galaxy remembers him as a hero: the man who burned every last alien Cielcin from the sky. They remember him as a monster: the devil who destroyed a sun, casually annihilating four billion human lives - even the emperor himself - against Imperial orders.
But Hadrian was not a hero. He was not a monster. He was not even a soldier. Fleeing his father and a future as a torturer, Hadrian finds himself stranded on a strange, backwater world.
Forced to fight as a gladiator and into the intrigues of a foreign planetary court, he will find himself fighting a war he did not start, for an empire he does not love, against an enemy he will never understand.

Darrow is a Red, a member of the lowest caste in the color-coded society of the future. Like his fellow Reds, he works all day, believing that he and his people are making the surface of Mars livable for future generations. Yet he toils willingly, trusting that his blood and sweat will one day result in a better world for his children. But Darrow and his kind have been betrayed. Soon he discovers that humanity reached the surface generations ago. Vast cities and lush wilds spread across the planet. Darrow—and Reds like him—are nothing more than slaves to a decadent ruling class.

Histoire4.5 out of 5 stars 161
The Catenan Republic—the Hierarchy—may rule the world now, but they do not know everything. I tell them my name is Vis Telimus. I tell them I was orphaned after a tragic accident three years ago, and that good fortune alone has led to my acceptance into their most prestigious school. I tell them that once I graduate, I will gladly join the rest of civilized society in allowing my strength, my drive, and my focus—what they call Will—to be leeched away and added to the power of those above me, as millions already do. As all must eventually do.

Epheria is a land divided by war and mistrust. The High Lords of the South squabble and fight, only kept in check by the Dragonguard, traitors of a time long past, who serve the empire of the North. In the remote villages of Southern Epheria, still reeling from the tragic loss of his brother, Calen Bryer prepares for The Proving - a test of courage and skill that not all survive. But when three strangers arrive in the village of Milltown, with a secret they are willing to die for, Calen’s world is ripped from under him and he is thrust headfirst into a war.

The year is 2380. The Intersolar Commonwealth, a sphere of stars some 400 light-years in diameter, contains more than 600 worlds, interconnected by a web of transport "tunnels" known as wormholes. At the farthest edge of the Commonwealth, astronomer Dudley Bose observes the impossible: Over 1,000 light-years away, a star...vanishes. It does not go supernova. It does not collapse into a black hole. It simply disappears.

Fifty thousand gun-toting paladins march behind him, all baptized in angel blood, thirsty to burn unbelievers. Only the janissaries can stand against them. Their living legend, Kevah, once beheaded a magus amid a hail of ice daggers. But ever since his wife disappeared, he spends his days in a haze of hashish and poetry. To save the kingdom, Kevah must conquer his grief and become the legend he once was. But Micah writes his own legend in blood, and his righteous conquest will stop at nothing. When the gods choose sides, a legend will be etched upon the stars.

Slow But Fascinating
This overall is such a fun read. My brain typically turns off during the more politically heavy parts of any fantasy or sci fi novel, but both the writing and narration in Empire of Silence were strong enough to make paying attention easy. Although the story is slowly paced, I found most of the content, mostly the characters and ideas within, interesting and fascinating enough that I plowed through all 26 hours very quickly. Highly recommended sci-fi fantasy.

Dune-like
Great story. Reminds me of Dune. Very well planned and the lore is extensive. It feels a bit long - personally I wish this was 2 books, but I like shorter reads. The reader has an immersive voice that matches the tone of the writing.

Pleasant surprise
I’m surprised I haven’t heard of this series until I stumbled upon a YouTube review. It is very well written with great depth and world building. It looks forward to continuing the series.

Author's first book is amazing.
Empire of Silence is essentially everything I was missing from Elantris by Brandon Sanderson. It features a fascinating protagonist whose personal goals get tied up in the political intrigue he lives through. Hadrian is a good guy. Hadrian is ruthless. He's the narrator of this story and he knows what he is, agonizing over his mistakes like the dramatic character he recognizes he is. I was also swept away with the world building. It goes into a level of detail so unlike anything I've ever seen before. It original, yet eerily familiar, making me wonder if humanity will ever outgrow its weaker character traits. The narrative is flawless structurally, as well, keeping me engaged with moments of triumph and despair. The only thing that rung a little off to me was that Hadrian makes the same mistake at least twice. You think he would have known to do better after the first time, but I suppose that can be excused as negative character trait. I'm eagerly looking forward to reading the other books.

The story is good but…
The main character is narcissistic. He could have avoided much drama and pain if he stopped being such a jerk. However, the story would be boring if he wasn't. Slow and annoying start ends pretty strong.

Derivative of Dune, but still worth it!
I have been perusing the plus catalogue for a very long time. Sifting through title after sci-fi, title, hoping to strike gold. A series I can listen to for a while as I stack my credits. FINALLY I found this lil nugget!
Now I’m not saying this is a literary masterpiece, I’m not even claiming the the cast of characters are unique or novel. What I am saying is that it was definitely a thoroughly enjoyable listen, enjoyable enough that I plan to listen to all 60 hours between the three free titles in the series. It has an uncanny resemblance to Dune, scholiasts for example can draw parallels to mentats. There’s the shields that preclude the use of high-speed projectile weapons, but allow slow moving objects to penetrate, battle by sword becoming, the default means of war fighters to prosecute their targets,. There are the feudal hierarchies, Prohibition against technology as a result of AI’s past enslavement of man… but the plot is unique enough to make it totally worth it, and I would never consider an insult to be compared to Dune, a freaking masterpiece.
