{"product_id":"9781473218277","title":"Empire of Silence","description":"\u003cp\u003eIt was not his war. On the wrong planet, at the right time, for the best reasons, Hadrian Marlowe started down a path that could only end in fire. 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. Fleeing his father and a future as a torturer, Hadrian finds himself stranded on a strange, backwater world. Forced to fight as a gladiator and navigate the intrigues of a foreign planetary court, he will find himself fighting a war he did not start, for an Empire he does not love, against an enemy he will never understand.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gollancz","offers":[{"title":"Christopher \/ Ruocchio","offer_id":57314546778486,"sku":"9781473218277","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1208\/4146\/files\/9781473218277.jpg?v=1771323993","url":"https:\/\/chepstowbooks.co.uk\/products\/9781473218277","provider":"Chepstow Books \u0026 Gifts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
