Why it’s on the list: First volume of The Sun Eater — the recommendation was for the whole series, and this is where it starts.
Gavin Baker recommended the series, not a single book; Empire of Silence (2018) is volume one of seven. One card here rather than seven, on the theory that if the first lands the rest follow.
Where I saw it: Gavin Baker (@GavinSBaker) on X, February 22, 2026: “The Sun Eater series by Chris Ruocchio is the best science fiction I have read in the last decade.”
