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'); }) | |

Chekhov's Gun: One that spans the whole series. Maggs' ceremonial dirk makes a return after not being seen since Chapter 4 in Forsaken Skies. Maggs' Centrocor ID. After seeing it on the drone in Forgotten Worlds, Lanoe uses it to gain access to Centrocor's carrier for him and his Boarding Party. | |

Bittersweet Ending | |
The Silence Trilogy / int_40cc0c7e | comment |
Bittersweet Ending: Almost to the point that it’s practically a Downer Ending. 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. | |

The Silence Trilogy / int_7374ab13 | comment |
Once More, with Clarity!: In Forsaken Skies, Valk describes the Century War as a terrible war where half of humanity died. We’re told at the end of the book that A.I. were illegal and labeled too dangerous to be allowed to exist. The two seem unrelated. Here, it’s revealed that the reason A.I. are illegal and that half of humanity was wiped out in the Century War is because an A.I. was responsible for it. | |

Ehta was one of his fiercest supporters and Candless had always respected his leadership skills and flying capability. By the end, they have both become disillusioned with him and justifiably want to have absolutely nothing to do with him. | |

All for Nothing: Lanoe goes out of his way to make sure he can get the information about the Blue-Blue-White into the right hands, away from poly spies or Navy bureaucrats, so he can get the proper support and take the fight straight to the aliens. Unfortunately, Auster Maggs kidnaps him and Valk (at the request of Fleet Admiral Varma) and the Navy leadership gets their hands on it anyway, allowing the worst-case scenario come to pass: it gets caught up in bureaucracy and nothing happens. | |

Hope Spot | |
The Silence Trilogy / int_c3c18143 | comment |
Hope Spot: 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. 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. | |

Cosmic Horror Reveal | |
The Silence Trilogy / int_cb11543c | comment |
Cosmic Horror Reveal: About halfway through the book, a few people claim humanity’s stretched out beyond the stars for centuries and has yet to come into contact with any aliens. Then, it’s revealed that the killer alien drones are actually terraforming drones and they attacked Niraya because they didn’t recognize humanity as a sentient species thanks to bad coding. Combine that with the fact that drones have been around for half a billion years and you get D. Nolan Clark's answer to the Fermi Paradox. | |

Nothing Is Scarier | |
The Silence Trilogy / int_cdfe12c3 | comment |
Nothing Is Scarier: When Lanoe and crew have to go through a wormhole with no ghostlight. The ship is the only thing providing any light, no one can see if the wormhole will turn or not (which would lead to a crash into the walls and effectively destroy the ship), and it falls below freezing inside the ship. | |
