About this listen
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.

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.

Continuing a captivating plot!
After reading the first book and additional novellas. I have gained an interest into the characters lives. If you have enjoyed dune or Hyperion this book will tick a lot of boxes for you.
One of the downsides is that the story tends to get bogged down in the middle of the book and doesn’t pick up again until near the end. On to the demon in white next!

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.

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.

Top tier modern sci-fi
Although the book begins with a bit of a jarring time skip and lots of characters to keep track off it can feel initially overwhelming. But this book pops off to n the second half with lots of intrigue, mystery and action, excited for book 3
