Publisher Description
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.

Howling Dark reader review
The second in this series, action of the story take time to build, but build the author does! He has created a sprawling universe of a far flung future humanity, that faces an adversary that is so “un anthropomorphic “.
This universe comes with a rich and detailed history and mythology, that is revealed layer by layer as the story unfolds, making it a fun and gripping read. I am thoroughly enjoying this series!

Amazing continuation of the series …. Looking for Book 3 now, it’s great writing.
Good Read
Drags a bit in places, but definitely plot twists one cannot anticipate. Almost as good as the first book, definitely worth the read. On par with Tchaikovsky and Richard Adams, easily.
