Christopher Ruocchio best books, ranked

Christopher Ruocchio — 3 titles in the rankings. They average 8.1, above the 7.8 the whole catalogue averages. One series has a reading order worth keeping to.

Editor’s note The Sun Eater is a vast space opera told as the memoir of Hadrian Marlowe, a nobleman of a far-future galactic empire, who looks back on how he came to be remembered as a destroyer of worlds in humanity’s war with an alien race. Empire of Silence, the first, starts slowly and is the most read but the lowest rated; the series gets steadily better, with Ashes of Man rating highest. Read in order.
