Now in paperback, 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 discover a way to contact the elusive alien
Cielcin. He has pursued false leads for years among the barbarian
Normans as captain of a band of mercenaries, but Hadrian remains
determined to make peace and bring an end to nearly four hundred years
of war.
Desperate to find answers, 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.
