About this listen

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.

Hadrian Marlowe is trapped. For nearly a century, he has been a guest of the Emperor, forced into the role of advisor, a prisoner of his own legend. But the war is changing. Mankind is losing.

The Cielcin are spilling into human space from the fringes, picking their targets with cunning precision. The Great Prince Syriani Dorayaica is uniting their clans, forging them into an army and threat the likes of which mankind has never seen. And the Empire stands alone.

Now the Emperor has no choice but to give Hadrian Marlowe—once his favorite knight—one more impossible task: journey across the galaxy to the Lothrian Commonwealth and convince them to join the war. But not all is as it seems, and Hadrian's journey will take him far beyond the Empire, beyond the Commonwealth, impossibly deep behind enemy lines.

This series just gets better. Like all stories I become invested in a story and hadrians is one that keeps on giving.
Saying that, this book is depressing…in a good way. Growth

Outstanding!

Absolutely loved how this book played out the prisoner arc dragged a bit too long but other than that this book was perfect but it does have some of the saddest moments in the series by far

Saddest book in the series

The book isn't as good as Demon in White but it's still great. Unfortunately the narrator isn't anywhere near as competent as the previous performances. His voice is bland, intense scenes don't land because of his failure to emote. Additionally it's jarring to hear his mispronunciation of simple words like "lichen" "forecastle" or "gunwale".

bad, bland narrator

The series has been incredible the best epic sci-fi series I have personally read. This installment was a roller coaster and really lived up to the title. Absolutely incredible.

Lives Up To The Title!

well that was absolutely brutal and brilliant!
great world and character building as always, and a new narrator that threw me off a bit at first but done a great job and I thoroughly enjoyed listening to him.

brutal!

A hard book to read with characters you have grown to love but it is a modern masterpiece. This book propels the series to the upper echelons of series I have had the pleasure to read.

Powerful in ways few books are

At first, I found it challenging to adapt to the shift in the narrator's voice, but as I continued listening, I began to appreciate his performance more and more. The story is beautifully crafted, with rich imagery and emotional depth that captivates me. I'm currently halfway through, and I’m thoroughly immersed in the narrative. It truly is a remarkable and profound tale that resonates deeply within me.

The change i nnaturtakes some time to get used to.

Why oh why did the narrator thing it wise to make the main villain, the supposed nemesis of all mankind, sound like a petulant child??? it just ruined the entire thing for me.

Awful performance
