Critics Review

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.

Empire of Silence is epic science fiction at its most genuinely epic. 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
