À propos de cet audio

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.

A perfect continuation of the series. It took me a little while to get into book 1 but book 2 had me engaged immediately. I find the writing style unique in its ability walk the line between too much detail and too little forward progress. somehow it works and keeps you engaged. Also a big fan of the narrator!

Impressive Detail

Great story, amazing world building, but got a bit repetitive with some of the historical references.

Could have used some editing

A narcissist who constantly makes selfish decisions in the name of saving his world. Crispin would make a better hero. The story is good, but I just don't like the main character. Damn guy keeps losing his sword.

This series is just amazing, great action great characters, and some decent hard Sf. Is all good all the time. This second book does not disappoint even a tiny bit. Do yourself a favour and get into this series. The performance is great as well.

Thinking about the Roman Empire in space.

This is still a great story going into the third book. The narrator is awesome.

Still like it

It's a decent story. Main character is not likeable at all. He tries to be one thing but is the complete opposite

Average

The author, from the future, tells us in book 1 that the pale cannot accept peace between equals. And yet, 95% of this book is spent attempting to achieve it. so frustrating to read.

Also, the author has clearly never read much about military tactics either, rendering almost every military encounter absurd. i.e. If the pale don't use shields, why on earth don't they just equip everyone with ranged weaponry and mow them down?

Even if you ignore the existence of ranged weapons, formations and fortifications were hugely important in the time of Roman warfare. but in this book, both the good and bad guys run around disorganized and with no planning all the time. Zero adaptation to anything on either side as well. no debriefings after battles, no mock battles to test tactics, no brainstorming ways to more effectively fight... just mindlessly battling the same way every time.

I thought books 1 and 3 were interesting, but this one was rough to get through.

mediocre at best

I enjoyed the first book a lot but when it came to this book, I find the MC unbearable, and kept at it thinking there would be some development but nope I still found him unlikeable

MC is unbearable
