Shadows upon Time

Sun Eater, Book 7

De: Christopher Ruocchio

Narrado por: Samuel Roukin

The seventh and final novel of the galaxy-spanning series merges the best of space opera and epic fantasy, as Hadrian Marlowe at last lights the greatest fire humanity has ever seen

Ambitious universe-building combines with intimate character portraits for storytelling on a truly epic scale—for fans of Orson Scott Card, Adrian Tchaikovsky, Patrick Rothfuss, and Jack Campbell

The trumpet sounds.

The end has come at last. After his victory at Vorgossos, Hadrian Marlowe finds himself a fugitive, on the run not only from the Extrasolarians, but from his own people, the Sollan Empire he betrayed—and who betrayed him. Hidden safely beyond the borders of human space, Hadrian awaits the arrival of the one ally he has left: the Jaddian Prince Kaim-Olorin du Otranto.

What's more, the inhuman Cielcin have vanished, unseen for more than one hundred years. The armies of men have grown complacent, but Hadrian knows the truth: the Cielcin are gathering their strength, preparing for their final assault against the heart of all mankind.

Only Hadrian possesses the power to stem the tide: an ancient war machine, forged by the daimon machines at the dawn of time. The mighty Demiurge. With it, Hadrian must face not just the Cielcin horde, but their Prophet-King, and the dark gods it serves—the very gods who shaped the universe itself.

This must be.

Great writer. He takes ideas from other sci fi universes and weaves an entire new story all of his own.

I dislike that this epic journey has ended. Make more, Chris! And the VA is amazing.

Samuel Roukin is exceptional!

I loved the range and performance of the narration. Samuel Roukin absolutely crushed every aspect of this series.

little drawn out and might not like the end

spoilers.

the radical republicans wanted the promise of the declaration of independence, rights for all. they fought a horrible war for it. they even controlled the entire government. they even militarily occupied the south.

and in about 10 years the south went full Jim crow anyway, for another 100 years.

so I understand the ending. but I still want more justice. but hoping rocchio set up a 7 book series to tell that story. :)

great book and series overall. great stories and world.

Wow

One of the best book series of all time! There are many endings and this is one.

should have spent more time making better endings for the character and less time writing about selines hair
