Watch me read some of my NEGATIVE Goodreads/Amazon/Audible book reviews. Hilarious!!!! kzbin.info/www/bejne/i6CXfWx7rseAoq8

Mr. Ruocchio is sending me a copy of Empire of Silence. Seems like a super awesome guy and maybe for once the Dune comparisons might hold up.

Hey Brian, thanks for the review--hope you know it means a lot to me. (I'm on hiatus from Facebook for the week, hence my being quiet over there!)

[@B.LEE.DbrianleedurfeeREVIEWS]

Well cancel your hiatus!!!

[@evelynparmley6043]

Hold the book backward and upside down is a great icebreaker. I loved this book so much I have all the books and the narrator of the audiobook is really good.

I've seen/heard a TON of fantastic thing about this book so it's definitely one that I need to pick up.

Just read the preview of the first 5 chapters of «Empire of Silence», were I caught: Jadd: The Jaddite Faith from several Guy Gavriel Kay novels (GGK’s mix of Christian Trappings and the Sun Cults from Antiquity: Unsurprising given Ruocchio have stated himself as a fan of GGK, with signed books by him) & Jeddah, an Ancient Port City in Modern Day Saudi Arabia Birth Vats for the Nobility: «Brave New World» by Aldous Huxley Hadrian’s home planet of Delos: Greek Island, Holy Site for the worship of Apollo and Artemis and the Athenian-led Delian League which fought Sparta in the Peloponnesian War of the 5th Century BC + The Name of the Mega-Corporation running the parks in «Westworld» Hadrian’s brother Crispin: The St. Crispin’s Day Speech from «Henry V» The Alien Antagonists, the Cielcin: Ciel (French: Sky) + sin (Mr. Ruocchio is Catholic, alright! 😄) Lothrian: Have some similar language structure as the Free City of Lorath from GRRM’s «ASOIAF» + Lotharingia/Lorraine in Modern Day France Hadrian’s family name Marlowe and their Devil Symbol: Christopher Marlowe wrote «Doctor Faustus», about the eponymous scholar who make a pact with the devil Mephistopheles (+ a reversed color scheme of the Manchester United Devil Logo, given the Marlowes’ English Ancestry?) The Mother of Hadrian’s Family Name, Kephalos: Cephalus, whom Socrates have a dialogue with in Plato’s «Republic». Cephalus give as a definition of justice «to give each what is owed to them», which Socrates refutes by saying that returning a borrowed knife to someone who has turned mad and might therefore hurt themselves, is not just…(cue philosophizing on justice and madness!😅)

Absolutely best of your videos.

[@jamesmcstravick6169]

I have been intrigued by this series since the release of Empire of Silence and for the life of my I cant understand why I never picked it up, I certainly will be now :).

It’s not available in Pakistan also cannot order from overseas unfortunately. I have requested many book stores with no hope😔

[@Tom-sd9jb]

Hey, I am going to start reading this book this week. How about I send it to you when I've finished it?

[@DevitoAllPro]

Too be fair saying someone ends up becoming Darth Vader is most likely gonna make them love them more, who the hell doesn’t love Vader

[@turtleanton6539]

Sounds fucking awesome

[@stow8619]

Where can I find the clear protectors you have on them?

[@michaelwoolvin2184]

Thought it was a western series next after your fantasy series
