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.

the narrator himself is good, problem for me was that 1st book in the series had a totally different narrator who had a different style. was hard to adopt

Es bleibt spannend

Hard Work for the last two hours but it paid off, I'm gonna say. Throughout the book I thought about putting this down but I pervailed and the ending was great, really nostalgic somehow ^-^

Good ending

Although the story is overall slowpaced, it is still incredibley gripping and entertaining, even during the slow parts.

the way previously mentioned and teased information comes together

Since all the books have different narrators (a concept that is shitty in itself) you neither bond with the characters( especially if the names of said characters are altered by the Hebrew-tendency to nasally pronounce almost everything except the letter h?!?) nor find it easy to connect the plot of the books (in part because of the time skip)
I believe that when a character’s identity/cluture/speech(accent) is established by the original narrator, it shan’t be altered by some quirp who comes after and thinks he/she has to be original

This books pacing is very slow and I will stand on this hill: book 2 “the lesser devil” is the best so far in my opinion; well granted the fact that the first book had to do A lot of world building, i think this one is too slow

The narrator is the worst so far
