The Silence Trilogy	comment	Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Silence is a Space Opera Military Science Fiction trilogy by American author David Wellington, going under the pen name D. Nolan Clark. The first book in the series, Forsaken Skies, was published September 6th, 2016. The second book, Forgotten Worlds, was published on April 18th, 2017. The third and final book, Forbidden Suns, was published on October 17th, 2017.The trilogy's setting takes place a few centuries into The Future where humanity has started colonies on different planets throughout the galaxy. For the most part, many enjoy a time of quasi-peace. However, that's not the case for everyone. The series stars Commander Aleister Lanoe, a battle-hardened and decorated Ace Pilot, who after decades of constant wars is just trying to get by. He is joined by Tannis Valk (a Red Baron Ace Pilot that Lanoe once fought against), Caroline Ehta (a former-Ace Pilot-turned-Space Marine), Auster Maggs (a Loveable Rogue Navy Lieutenant), and several others. This Ragtag Bunchof Misfits will have to band together in order to keep the peace.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

Humanity is saved from the impending doom of the Blue-Blue-White’s Killer Robot army, Ginger becomes the new ambassador for the Chorus and hopefully will help smooth contact between humanity and the Chorus, and the other unquantifiable species that the Blue-Blue-White’s drones accidentally murdered are brought back to life. HOWEVER, Bury, and many of the crews that visited the Blue-Blue-White homeworld are dead, Ehta can never return to active duty in the Navy, Candless refuses to return to teaching and decides to head straight for the front lines, virtually no one wants to have anything to do with Lanoe anymore, and Lanoe, enraged that Valk still allowed Zhang to die in the new timeline, kills the only friend he has left. The last couple of sentences just paint a picture of how broken Lanoe is.

And then in walks Lanoe who reveals that Valk still allowed Zhang to die in the new timeline and spends the last chapter of the book hunting him down and eventually killing the suicidal A.I. Maggs had been incredibly lucky to survive the events of the series, so when he makes a mad dash to escape the Blue-Blue-White's system, it is possible he could make it. Unfortunately, as he notes, his luck runs out.

The Silence Trilogy / int_dcb9c541	type	Ship Tease
The Silence Trilogy / int_dcb9c541	comment	Valk who had spent most of the series begging Lanoe to let him die is asked by Ehta (of whom he’s had a lot of Ship Tease with) if he’ll join him on some future adventures, just the two of them, looking like he’ll get a happy ending after all. And then in walks Lanoe who reveals that Valk still allowed Zhang to die in the new timeline and spends the last chapter of the book hunting him down and eventually killing the suicidal A.I.
