O tym tytule
Bloomsbury presents Shadows Upon Time by Christopher Ruocchio read by 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.

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.

Opinie krytyków

PRAISE FOR THE SUN EATER SERIES:

'Space opera fans will savor the rich details... Readers who like a slow-building story with a strong character focus will find everything they're looking for' —Publishers Weekly

'With the scope of Dune and a confessional, first-person voice that puts us into the mind of a possible madman, this is space opera at its most riveting and grandiose' —B&N Book Review

'A craftsman of rare ability, Christopher Ruocchio lures you into a future filled with danger, action, irony, vaulting prose, and a few precious dollops of hope.' —David Brin

'Science fiction at its most genuinely epic. Ruocchio has made something fascinating here, and I can't wait to see what he does next.' —James S. A. Corey, New York Times-bestselling author of The Expanse novels

'Epic-scale space opera in the tradition of Iain M. Banks and Frank Herbert's Dune, without being a clone of either of them. His is a welcome new voice in science fiction.' —Eric Flint

'A rich tapestry of future history and worldbuilding, a galactic-sized story of a hero, a tyrant, but portrayed as a man.' —Kevin J. Anderson

'Packs in action and erudition in equal measure. This is a gripping first installment in a space opera that delivers both high-adrenaline thrills and hard-earned wisdom about the human spirit.' —D.J. Butler

'A richly imagined epic, briskly and vividly told.' —R.M. Meluch

'This wow book is a must for fans of Pierce Brown and Patrick Rothfuss."

Well, I made it this far. Verbose isn't in it, with a stilted writing style, but a reasonable story.
Unfortunately, the mispronunciation of some of the words pull you out of the story every so often.
Make of it what you will.

This has been one of the best series I have listened to ever! Amazing storyline, characters and world building! I hope there are more spinoffs coming!

Epic Space Opera!

Wer auf endlose, vor Pathos triefende Arien steht, wird hier glücklich – ich bin es nicht. Obwohl ich Fan von epischen Geschichten wie Dungeon Crawler Carl, red rising, warhammer oder The Expanse bin, war mir das hier einfach zu viel Leerlauf. Der Spannungsbogen existiert quasi nicht, weil jedes bisschen Plot in weitschweifigem, bedeutungslosen, Pseudo philosophischem Geschwafel erstickt wird. Man hätte das Ganze um 70 % kürzen müssen, damit so was wie Dynamik aufkommt. Die meisten Nebenfiguren haben zudem die Tiefe eines flachen Tellers. Einziges Highlight: Der Sprecher, der wirklich versucht hat, aus dem zähen Skript noch das Beste rauszuholen.

Dass ich die Serie beendet habe, zeigt nur meine Leidensfähigkeit und die naive Hoffnung auf Substanz
