Empire of Silence (1 of 2) [Dramatized Adaptation] Publisher's Summary

Hadrian Marlowe, a man revered as a hero and despised as a murderer, chronicles his tale in the galaxy-spanning debut of the Sun Eater series, merging the best of space opera and epic fantasy.

It was not his war.

The galaxy remembers him as a hero: the man who burned every last alien Cielcin from the sky. They remember him as a monster: the devil who destroyed a sun, casually annihilating four billion human lives—even the Emperor himself—against Imperial orders.

But Hadrian was not a hero. He was not a monster. He was not even a soldier.

On the wrong planet, at the right time, for the best reasons, Hadrian Marlowe starts down a path that can only end in fire. He flees his father and a future as a torturer only to be left stranded on a strange, backwater world.

Forced to fight as a gladiator and navigate the intrigues of a foreign planetary court, Hadrian must fight a war he did not start, for an Empire he does not love, against an enemy he will never understand.

Adapted from the novel and produced with a full cast of actors, immersive sound effects and cinematic music!

Kramer as Hadrian, Ken Jackson as Gibson, Stewart Crank as Crispin, Chingwe Padraig Sullivan as Lord Alistair, Khaya Fraites as Cat, Ryan Haugen as Switch, Michael Glenn as Demetri, Torian Brackett as Pallino, Colleen Delany as Lady Liliana, Damon Alums as Ghen, Karen Novack as Lena, Marni Penning as Dr. Chanda, Nanette Savard as Gila, James Lewis as Bassem, Richard Rohan as Felix, Ryan Dalusung as Director Feng, Elena Anderson as Lieutenant Kyra, Lily Beacon as Sepha, John Kielty as Saltus, and Elias Khalil as Crow.
