Synopsis

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 four hundred 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.

Goodreads review by Petrik on October 26, 2023

This review is a copy of the transcript of my video review on Howling Dark. Philosophical, bizarre, sprawling, and epic. Howling Dark outshined the already stunning Empire of Silence. “The poets say that one’s fears grow less with trial, that we become men without fear if tried enough. I have not f......more

Goodreads review by Alex on July 14, 2021

What to even say about this book, holy shit. Hands down the best science fiction book that I've read this year and if I hadn't already read Royal Assassin it would also be the best fantasy book I've read this year. Empire of Silence was already an incredible start to this wonderful series and Howlin......more

Goodreads review by Jonah on May 02, 2024

Phenomenal. This exceeded every single expectation I had for it. All at once it’s epic, philosophical, horror-filled, badass, and beautiful. This is an odyssey. I liked Empire of Silence. It was, in my opinion, a really solid start to the Suneater series. Howling Dark is not only one of my favorite s......more

I am a believer. Ruocchio is the man. "True lessons require not only knowing, but that the student practices his knowledge again and again. Thus knowledge becomes us, and we become more than the animal and the machine. That is why the best teachers are students always, and the best students are neve......more
