Product Description:
In the aftermath of a devastating war, swarms of ancient black robots built by the lost insectoid Klikiss race continue their depredations on helpless worlds with stolen and heavily armed Earth battleships.
Among the humans, the Hansa's brutal Chairman struggles to crush any resistance even as King Peter breaks away to form his own new Confederation among the colonies who have declared their independence.
And meanwhile, the original, voracious Klikiss race, long thought to be extinct, has returned, intent on conquering their former worlds and willing to annihilate anyone in the way.
Praise for the Saga of Seven Suns?
'A soaring epic?a space opera to rival the best the field has ever seen.'
--- Science Fiction Chronicle
'Kevin Anderson has created a fully independent and richly conceived venue for his personal brand of space opera, a venue that nonetheless raises fruitful resonances with Frank Herbert's classic Dune series.'

Average Rating: 
Rating: - Anderson is a master of the dissapointing climax
Time and again Anderson spends hours of storytelling putting his heros in ridiculously impossible situations to built a dramatic rescue, escape, or victory. Unfortunately the drama often isn't there. Instead you feel like you are being subjected to endless incompentence and bad luck on the part of the heros, and ridiculous displays of power by the bad guys, and getting nothing in return. The misery drags on for chapter after chapter, while the victories are always wrapped up in a few pages. Very ... Read More
Rating:  - Old enemies return
Another book my kids got for me after I put it on my wish list. This is the sixth in the Saga of the Seven Suns, and the next to last book in the series, finally out in paperback in June. The pace is fast, and I loved that. The end leaves things open for the last book.
The Confederation is doing well, but its enemies haven't gone away. The Klikiss have returned to search out their robots and destroy them. Yet they are also killing humans when they get in the way. As the Klikiss robots use ... Read More
Rating: - Best Series In Years
This is the best series I've read in years. Complex characters, fast paced with fascinating plot lines, the series takes off in the first book and doesn't slow down to the last page. I will be looking for more from Kevin J. anderson.
Rating: - Metal Swarm Winner
This is without a doubt the best scifi series I have ever read! The character development is outstanding. The chapters are short and concise. Can hardly wait for the final book...yes, I know it is out in hardback, but my "set" is paperback so I will wait! (Maybe) Anderson is a terrific writer and I look for his books.
Rating: - An outstanding book with a horrid cliff hanger!
I love the Saga, and KJA has defiantly given fans another great installment in the series with this book.
