— Hadrian Marlowe

The sixth 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. (Description from Amazon)

Full Disquiet Gods spoliers below, proceed with caution.

Synopsis

The end is nigh.

It has been nearly two hundred years since Hadrian Marlowe assaulted the person of the Emperor and walked away from war. From his Empire. His duty. From the will and service of the eldritch being known only as the Quiet. The galaxy lies in the grip of a terrible plague, and worse, the Cielcin have overrun the realms of men.

A messenger has come to Jadd, bearing a summons from the Sollan Emperor for the one-time hero. A summons, a pardon, and a plea. HAPSIS, the Emperor’s secret first-contact intelligence organization, has located one of the dreadful Watchers, the immense, powerful beings worshipped by the Pale Cielcin.

Called out of retirement and exile, the old hero—accompanied by his daughter, Cassandra—must race across the galaxy and against time to accomplish one last, impossible task:

To kill a god.

Trivia

  • During the shift in publishers from DAW Books to Baen, Christopher Ruocchio advocated on behalf of Sun Eater fans for consistency in publication style. This request was ultimately honored, despite some minor discrepancies in final height (Baen edition measures 9.5in tall vs the DAW Books 9.25in editions) and jacket materials (glossy cover in leiu of matte cover previously issued by DAW Books).
  • This book is the first instance in the series containing the Galaxy Map. Thank you Baen Books!
