Story
Hadrian and his Red Company have been serving the Empire in military engagements against the Cielcin, the vicious alien civilisation bent on humanity's destruction. And they've been successful: a cult-like fervour building around Hadrian following a particularly impressive victory. But popularity comes at a price: an assassination attempt, triggered by those within the Imperial government who are scared of his rise to prominence.

Listening to Demon in White was an absolutely incredible experience. The story captivated me from start to finish, with its epic scope and deep character development. Hadrian Marlowe’s journey felt more vivid and intense than ever, with the narration truly bringing the characters and world to life, making the emotions and action feel so real. This audiobook was more than just a listen—it was a full immersion into an unforgettable story. I was completely hooked, and it left me eagerly anticipating the next chapter in the series.

Story
It was not his fight. But he will still be the one to end it. The galaxy remembers Hadrian Marlowe as a hero who burned every last alien Cielcin from the sky. The man remembers how he tried to save them - to negotiate with them, to learn more of them - and how his attempts were frustrated by his own side and creatures stranger still than any Cielcin he'd encountered thus far. Hadrian Marlowe's path might have ended in fire...but the road to it was winding and leads through intrigue, and battle, to war.

An Intense and Gripping Sequel
Reviewed: 08-16-24
Howling Dark is an immersive and intense continuation of the series that really deepens the story. The darker and more complex tone had me fully absorbed in Hadrian’s journey. The pacing is spot on, and the emotional depth kept me hooked from start to finish. It’s a powerful follow-up that builds on everything great about the first book, delivering more action, intrigue, and character growth. If you’re into epic sci-fi that keeps you engaged, this one is definitely worth your time.

Story
Hadrian Marlowe, privileged first son of a Duke, was destined for greatness, and he has become a legend. The Sun-Slayer. The Breaker of Sieges. The Crusher of Civilisations. His is a story which defined the course of worlds. This novel is not that story - not the only laid out in the history books, charting the 300 years of his life. Rather this is Hadrian's story, told in his own worlds.

Empire of Silence completely pulled me in! Hadrian Marlowe’s story is gripping, and I couldn’t get enough of the world he’s navigating. The mix of sci-fi and fantasy is spot-on, and the character development had me rooting for Hadrian from the start. The world-building is so immersive—it felt like I was right there with him on every step of his journey. This book is an exciting ride with just the right balance of action, depth, and emotional twists. If you love a good adventure with rich storytelling, you’ll really enjoy this one!

The story is captivating and amazing !
But listening to this narator is a pain . Her range of voices is limited and its hard to figure out when charachters change, her inflexions are annoying, after a while you get used to it and it becomes bearable at 1.1x speed, but compared to the narators of The Farseer trilogy and The Tawny Man trilogy its a joke.

Wizardwood, a sentient wood. The most precious commodity in the world. Like many legendary wares, it comes only from the Rain River Wilds. But how can one trade with the Rain Wilders, when only a liveship, fashioned from wizardwood, can negotiate the perilous waters of the Rain River? Rare and valuable, a liveship will quicken only when three members, from successive generations, have died on board. The liveship Vivacia is about to undergo her quickening, as Althea Vestrit’s father is carried on deck in his death-throes.
