Publisher's summary

The sixth 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 end is nigh.

It has been nearly two hundred years since Hadrian Marlowe assaulted the person of the Emperor and walked away from war. From his Empire. His duty. From the will and service of the eldritch being known only as the Quiet. The galaxy lies in the grip of a terrible plague, and worse, the Cielcin have overrun the realms of men.

A messenger has come to Jadd, bearing a summons from the Sollan Emperor for the one-time hero. A summons, a pardon, and a plea. HAPSIS, the Emperor’s secret first-contact intelligence organization, has located one of the dreadful Watchers, the immense, powerful beings worshipped by the Pale Cielcin.

Called out of retirement and exile, the old hero—accompanied by his daughter, Cassandra—must race across the galaxy and against time to accomplish one last, impossible task: To kill a god.

brilliant storytelling

this series has never disappointed and continues to amaze me. An amazing story, sympathetic characters, the unraveling of an awful, beautiful history that, for all that the setting is alien, is infinitely, often painfully relatable - and at times absurdly, inappropriately funny. I cant wait for the next one!

love as always.

this has become one of if not my all time favorite series ever. Christopher is a master writer. his descriptive writing is second to none. i listen to many authors and read many. almost everyone else writing does not measure up. im about 11 hours into this. im hooked on this book. amazing stuff alot of action as always. love the progress of the story.

Great writing. l can't express how much I've enjoyed this journey.

l can't say anything negative about any of the books in this unfolding saga. Simply Wonderful.

Wow, that went all over the place.

What an incredible story. Really brought many of the plot points from the previous books forward in a meaningful way way.

Great writer who writes Space Operas

I love this series. From the opening paragraph of book 1 to the last paragraph of Book 6! I love the characters the descriptions the action and structure of this series. This should be as popular as red rising - it is on par if not better written. Amazing.

Based on other books not others in the series

This is not the best in the series but still heads above other books. The overall book is great its just in some details I hope the author tightens up.
1. His daughter is really poorly handled. All she does is question his decisions, not know whats going on(sometimes asking questions in inappropriate times), and be a weakness for him. She needs to be developed more and given some agency.
2. I felt like too often there is some random complication introduced that has no contribution to the story other than delay progression. Almost like it’s for word count. A few caused eye rolls while listening.
3. The ending parts had the most of these issues. Some really cheap IMO that sort of made me mad.

So all said, this is a a great book that could have been edited down to be more perfect.

Fantastic!

Wow! What an incredibly epic story. The performance was as great as ever. If you are a fan of the sun eater series you will not be disappointed with this installment. Absolutely fantastic!

They did it again!!

We have been gorging ourselves on the master story telling and performance of Roucchii and Roukin for months! This is absolutely enthralling!
