Warning: Spoilers prior to Kingdoms of Death are unmarked.The Sun Eater is a Science Fantasy Space Opera (with significant Cosmic Horror elements) series of seven planned novels and multiple short stories and novellas by Christopher Ruocchio. The first novel, Empire of Silence, was published in 2018.For hundreds of years, the galaxy-spanning Sollan Empire of mankind fought a brutal war against aliens known as Cielcin. The alien Pale came howling out of the dark, burning hundreds of worlds and enslaving or devouring billions of people. This war threatened to plunge the entire known galaxy into darkness until a man named Hadrian Marlowe burned the Cielcin from the sky, destroying a star in defiance of Imperial orders and with it committing genocide against the entire alien race. In the process, his actions resulted in the deaths of four billion human beings, including the emperor himself. Marlowe is the Halfmortal, the titular Sun-Eater, the Starkiller, the Palekiller, Deathless. He is hailed as humanity's greatest hero and reviled as it's worst murderer.But before all that, he was Hadrian, the elder son of a relatively minor palatine house. Fleeing his father and home, Hadrian finds himself stranded on the streets of a backwater planet, struggling for survival and unaware of the mysterious forces at work steering him towards his fiery destiny.The main series takes the form of Hadrian's own account of his life long after his genocide of the Cielcin, which the reader is told of in the opening paragraphs. How Hadrian went from an mostly good-hearted man with a desire for peace to wiping out an entire sentient race, and whether he was justified in doing so, forms the central arc of the story. Being written entirely from Hadrian's perspective, Unreliable Narrator is in full effect, as our hero's lapses in memory, personal interpretations, and flair for the melodramatic all flavor the story.There are also multiple short stories and novellas taking place in the same universe, fleshing out the wider world and the stories of secondary characters.The series so far includes the following works: Empire of Silence (2018) The Lesser Devil (novella, 2020, set during book 1) Howling Dark (2019) Queen Amid Ashes (novella, 2020, set between books 2 and 3) Demon in White (2020) Tales of the Sun Eater, Vol 1 (short story collection, 2021) Kingdoms of Death (2022) Tales of the Sun Eater, Vol 2 (short story collection, 2022) Ashes of Man (2022) Tales of the Sun Eater, Vol 3 (short story collection, 2023) Dregs of Empire (novella, 2023, set between books 5 and 6) Disquiet Gods (2024)

Awesome, but Impractical: Quite a bit of the higher end Sollan technology such as the colossi and Kestrel-class dreadnoughts are extremely powerful, but most generals frown on them as they're so prohibitively expensive to make. That being said, against the Cielcin, where the Empire needs raw power and durability over the cheap but plentiful, these things prove their worth.

comment
Aliens Are Bastards: The Cielcin are a horde of man-eating marauders who burn ruthlessly burn entire planets and can't even conceive of the idea of peaceful coexistence with humanity. At least, that's how humanity sees them; whether this makes Hadrian's actions morally justified is a central theme of the series. This is not the case for aliens as a whole, however. The Irchtani find the Cielcin practice of eating people and desecrating their remains just as repulsive as the humans do.

We Will Use Lasers in the Future: Energy Weapons have understandably pushed out most ballistic weapons with laser weapons are one of the more common type used by humanity, particularly on starships. They provide great accuracy and good hitting power (though not to the extent of a plasma weapon) while also being rapid-fire.

Zerg Rush: The standard tactic of the Cielcin is to swarm the enemy at close range under the cover of a swarm of nahute. Given their strength, speed, toughness, and preference for fighting the enemy in dark, enclosed spaces, it's frighteningly effective. Interestingly, humans vastly outnumber the Cielcin - there are billions of Cielcin but trillions of humans, though later Hadrian learns that actual Cielcin numbers are also in the trillions - they just haven't fully unified.

Casual Interstellar Travel: Generally averted; while faster-than-light travel exists, it still takes decades for all but the fastest ships to make the journey between stars, with most people making the trip in cryonic fugue. However, Kharn Sagara's ships, such as the Demiurge, and possibly the planet of Vorgossos itself, don't seem to play by these rules.

Deflector Shields: Clearly modeled on the personal shields of Dune, shields in this setting can stop fast-moving projectiles but not slower-moving objects like melee weapons. Fortunately, these don't explode when struck by a laser.

Theseus' Ship Paradox
 The Sun Eater / int_63267b15
comment
Theseus' Ship Paradox: A major theme of the series, one that is applied in a number of ways: Hadrian wonders if, as the sum of his experiences, he truly is the same person who left Delos at the beginning of the series. With the series' focus on the philosophical questions of transhumanism, the question is raised as to whether characters such as Kharn and Urbaine are truly the same individual as they discard their bodies. Given Hadrian's bizarre powers and the Quiet's abilities, is the Hadrian we follow throughout the series one individual, or is he constantly be replaced by versions of himself that never existed?

 The Sun Eater / int_680a5252
comment
In the Future, Humans Will Be One Race: Defied. With the destruction of the Mericanii and the "melting-pot" ideals, humanity has actually played up their cultural heritage with groups such as the Nipponese, the Mandari and more. Some of the selective breeding done within palatine families is done to enhance certain racial features; the Aventine Dynasty are clearly British and proud of their Windsor heritage.

Logical Weakness
 The Sun Eater / int_83641c73
comment
Logical Weakness: The Sollan Empire's Ban on A.I. and cybernetics puts them at a significant disadvantage in information warfare compared to the rest of the galaxy, which in turn makes its war against the Cielcin much more difficult; Valka has relatively minor brain augmentations and can disable entire swarms of nahute on her own, while squads of Imperial soldiers will take horrendous loss of a few of the mechanical snakes get too close. The shields used by humans are only moderately effective against a Cielcin in melee. A Cielcin hitting a human with a sword swing or a kick, often isn't fast enough to set off the shield. But because of the Cielcin's Super-Strength, the poor human is either dead or knocked out. Same goes with a Cielcin throwing a nahute at a human.

Crystal Dragon Jesus: The religion of the Cielcin is based on Gnosticism, particularly Manichaeism. According to its doctrine, the physical universe, the world of lies, was created by Utannash (The Quiet). To embrace truth is to worship the true gods (The Watchers) and to seek to transcend the world of lies.

Our Humans Are Different: Palatines are genetically enhanced with long life, immunity to illness and birth defects, superior physiology... but the Empire considers this an extension of humanity, not a fundamental change to human nature. Similarly, humans elevated to the patrician class enjoy lifespans in the centuries and near-perfect health. Many humans (or at least the upper classes) in other nations such as Tavros and the Norman Freeholds are similarly Long-Lived; the gene modifications of the Jaddian ruling class are even more extreme than the palatines. Among the Extrasolarians and Exalted, all sorts of genetic and cybernetic enhancements are commonplace.

Back from the Brink: During the God-Emperor's war against the Mericanii, humans were reduced to a population of millions scattered through various colony worlds. In Hadrian's time, the Sollan Empire alone numbers in the trillions. And again with the Sollan Empire, they're going to be badly hammered by the Cielcin nearly to the point of collapse. But as Hadrian notes near the beginning of the series, it's the Cielcin that'll be reduced to a few hundred and confined to alienages.

 The Sun Eater / int_ac0f4761
comment
Future Imperfect: Downplayed; The Empire has fairly good historical records, but even well-educated members of the upper class such as Hadrian get some things wrong. Not to mention that the Chantry's suppression of anything related to the Mericanii means that most people have a pretty big gap in their knowledge when it comes to all things American. The works of Tolkien's Legendarium are considered another mythology that was really believed by the ancients; characters speak of the Valar as pagan gods that would have been worshiped just like Zeus.

Heavyworlder: Humans from larger worlds such as Emesh tend to be stronger and stouter than the norm. Hadrian also keeps the Tamerlane's Artificial Gravity at 1.5 standard to emulate this for the Red Company.

Artificial Gravity: Human ships use a variety of the Royse Field to push things inside a ship towards ground. The result is enough like gravity to work in but disconcerting for those unused to it. Centrifugal Gravity is used on larger ships and stations.

Cool Starship
 The Sun Eater / int_c7b5445c
comment
Cool Starship: The party in the 2nd book can only marvel and gawk at Kharn Sagara's Sojourner-class starship, Demiurge. The party determine that the Demiurge is 100 miles long and big enough to fit several Sollan capital ships with ease. Bristling with gun towers, the Demiurge is almost invincible with conventional firepower alone, additionally it also doubles as a vault to Lost Technology Star Killing Superweapons taken from humanity's A.I. overlords in the distant past. On a more peaceful note, the Demiurge has a city-sized garden for Sagara's enjoyment. Hadrian gets one after being elevated to knighthood. In lieu of planetary holdings, he is given the ISV Tamerlane. This is one of only 17 Eriel-class dreadnoughts which had been discontinued because of their enormous cost. It has a fleet of 5000 air/spacecraft inside, 5000 gun emplacements for would-be boarders and is armed with dorsal plasma cannons, a magnetic grapnel, mile long mass drivers that can One-Hit Kill an asteroid, high energy laser and maser arrays and missile bays packed with nukes and antimatter bombs. To sustain its personnel, it has fish ponds and hydroponic farms plus a medical bay that's the size of a terrestrial city. Downplayed with the Cielcin's worldships; in terms of scale, each one makes the Demiurge look like a child's toy, being made from hollowed-out moons. However, the lower level of Cielcin technology maeke them a lot less cool. The Cielcin's specifically look for asteroids and planetoids with a heavy ice surface and then hollow them to refit as ships. The Cielcin never invented ray shielding to protect against radiation and so required the layer of ice to protect the interior. Additionally, worldships are surprisingly fragile; it took only a few atomics and antimatter warheads to destroy the Cielcin ship at the peace accord. Dorayaica's worldship, enhanced with Exalted technology, is much more impressive and sports a powerful orbit-to-surface laser emitter.

Kinetic Weapons Are Just Better: Downplayed. Energy weapons are the mainstay for the Imperium, but kinetic weapons have their place. Railguns provide greater range than most energy weapons, built-in high-calibre machine guns are used as point defense against boarders because they're cheap and effective against unshielded attackers and there are few weapons more destructive than a nuclear or anti-matter missile.

A Lighter Shade of Gray: The Sollan Empire is not the nicest place to live, particularly if you're a plebian or anyone who attracts the ire of the Chantry, but Hadrian eventually realizes that far and above a better alternative to the Cielcin. More subjectively, Hadrian also judges the Empire to be a preferable alternative to most of the other human powers, including Tavros, the Extrasolarians, and the Lothrians.

Agri World: In general, this trope is averted, with the long travel times involved necessitating that each planet in the galaxy be self-sustaining. Gododdin plays this trope straight, as vast tracts of its landmasses are dedicated to growing bromos, a genetically engineered crop that is used to feed the Imperial Legions.

Archaic Weapon for an Advanced Age: Melee weaponry such as swords, knives, and lances are all common armaments in the galaxy. Two common science fiction justifications for this trope, that spaceships are vulnerable to being depressurized by stray bullets and that personal shields make guns impotent, are discussed in-universe as possible reasons why. Conventional gunpowder firearms such as rifles and shotguns are almost just as ancient in the eyes of the Sollans, but still prove useful in certain situations.

Decon-Recon Switch: Hadrian initially seeks to subvert the Black-and-White Morality the rest of the Empire sees in their war with the Cielcin, and by opening up communication and understanding bring peace between the two species. The books portray much of humanity as over zealous and cruel, and Hadrian has some success relating to the Cielcin initially... except not really. Their alien minds combined with human-like features results in Hadrian thinking he has a better connection to Cielcin characters than he really does, and it's made starkly clear that the Cielcin represent an existential threat to Humanity and possibly life itself.

Absurdly Sharp Blade: Highmatter swords run energy fields to shape the unstable exotic matter, making it form into a blade that's only an atom wide.

Translation Convention: Hadrian writes these accounts in Galstani, the language of the Sollan Empire, occasionally translating dialogue from other languages such as Jaddian or Cielcin. In-universe, the books are translated from Galstani into "Classical English" by Tor Paulos. Given that Hadrian frequently speaks Classical English and translates for the reader, this occasionally results in Recursive Translation.

Reconstruction: The Sun Eater reconstructs the concept of The Hero. Hadrian embodies many aspects of the Fallen Hero; the author has compared him to Anakin Skywalker and many readers have likened him to Paul Atreides. Unlike these characters, Hadrian's actions are portrayed as being tragically justified given his circumstances, and without him humanity and possibly life itself would have been doomed.

Exact Words: Hadrian's melodramatic tendencies mean that while he assumes you the reader know the end to his story, he'll still pull off dramatic reveals whenever he can get away with it. In particular, pay very close attention to whenever Hadrian says a "final" goodbye to a character in the narrative, and take note as to whether his narration explicitly confirms that they never met again...
