Ruocchio has made something fascinating here, and I can't wait to see what he does next Empire of Silence is a rich tapestry of future history and worldbuilding, a galactic-sized story of a hero, a tyrant, but portrayed as a man A craftsman of rare ability, Christopher Ruocchio lures you into a future filled with danger, action, irony, vaulting prose, and a few, precious dollops of hope Fun in lots of ways, packed with technology which works like magic - Mark Lawrence I really enjoyed Empire Of Silence... it's great fun, and I'm looking forward to hearing more from Hadrian Marlowe's adventures. * SF AND F REVIEWS * It's sci-fi that feels as epic as an epic fantasy does. It feels as epic as Dune. * SUPER STAR DRIFTER * Blends epic fantasy and scifi. * SCIFINOW * Like The Fellowship of the Ring, this book is more about the journey than the destination. * SFX MAGAZINE * Space opera fans will savor the rich details of Ruocchio's far-future debut. * PUBLISHER'S WEEKLY * This is, in short, a stunning debut. This is an incredible novel that I took my time to truly enjoy. I feel very lucky to have taken the first step on the journey with this character and his universe. * THE BOOK BAG * If you can't decide whether to go for science fiction or fantasy with your first summer read, might we recommend Empire of Silence. * DEN OF GEEK * One of the most enjoyable SF debuts I've read in a long while. Think Dune mixed with Gene Wolfe's Shadow of the Torturer series, but for a contemporary readership... celebrates all of the joy and the sheer enthusiasm of old-fashioned Space Opera. * SFF WORLD * An intricate and well-thought-out plot, a propulsive narrative, and a smooth-as-silk prose... an excellent SF story and a book to look out for. * BOOKNEST * Author InformationChristopher Ruocchio is a debut novelist writing in the tradition of Dune and The Book of the New Sun. He is an editorial assistant working for a US publishing house, and lives in North Carolina, USA. You can learn more at cruoochio.wordpress.com or by following @CPRuocchio on twitter.
