Publisher Description
The extermination of Earth is at hand. With his increasingly irrational leadership Basil Wenceslas, chairman of the Hansa, has driven humanity into a corner. His punitive treatment of the Hansa colonies and the Roamers as well as his refusal to aid an embattled Theroc have made enemies for the people of Earth. Enemies that the Hansa cannot afford. Not when Wenceslas is struggling against revolt by soldier compies, who decimate the military by stealing ships and slaughtering soldiers; and betrayal by the Ildirans, led by Jora’h the Mage-Imperator, who is secretly scheming with the hydrogues to annihilate Earth.
Now disparate factions of humanity must plan for their own salvation. Worldtrees allied with humans on Theroc have rallied hulking, thorny tree battleships. Roamers work with powerful water entities, the wentals, to seed planets everywhere with a growing force to challenge the hydrogues.
But when the final battle with the hydrogues is joined, who will aid the people of Earth?

"There are some interesting plot twists to this book as one of the major threats has been dealt with, but others take center stage. The characters are even more worth the time and investment as they've grown and evolved with the rest of the story. I'm glad that I spent the hours with this book."
— Nathan (4 out of 5 stars)

" Again - fabulous sci-fi! "
— Lori, 2/5/2014 -
" Just finished this and can't wait to get through the next two books. This series is by far the greatest sci-fi series in a long long time. "
— Jeff, 1/5/2014 -
" I like this space saga a lot, though at times it get a bit sentimental it is very entertaining and its scope breath-taking. It is a light reading, nothing too thought-provoking, yet it is a nice diversion. "
— Anima, 1/1/2014 -
" This is certainly the best of the series so far. Lots of action, lots of plot advancement, lots of excitement. If only all the rest of the books in the series were as good as this one, then I would be considering this series a great one rather than just a good one. "
— Vincent, 12/24/2013 -
" There was a lot more action in this one, and it felt a lot more streamlined. "
— Shanrina, 12/14/2013 -
" Best Sci Fi Series Ever. "
— Cliff, 11/18/2013 -
" I got the action I wanted. With two more books in the series it wasn't surprising to see new plot threads emerge right at the end. "
— Aramis, 10/23/2013 -
" Fifth book in this very detailed and amazing Space opera, you think the major crisis is over, but an old war from 10,000 years ago has a way of re-igniting again. "
— Danny, 10/12/2013 -
" I'm still enjoying and fascinated by this story of the saga of seven suns, which are now six. The characteristics of the aliens and humans are so much like what is found on earth now, and the fight between good and evil is pointed out in these struggles. "
— Diane, 10/11/2013 -
" The series is still going strong. Looking forward to the last 2. "
— Craig, 2/13/2013 -
" This serie has been pretty solid so far and this book as its predecessors delivers. It kept me interested and wondering from the beginning to the end and now I wonder what's coming in the next 2 as this could have been a good last book. I definitely recommend this book and the one before. "
— Eric, 11/5/2012 -
" Just as good the second time through. "
— Scott, 6/27/2012 -
" Pretty good story. I thought though that if this book was slightly longer (it was actually shorter than the last 2) it could have easily ended the series. As it stands, the new "revelations" at the end just line up 2 more books for no reason. They better be worth it... "
— Jeremiah, 5/11/2012 -
" Again, I enjoyed all the characters. Some of it was starting to get stretched just a bit. Its like he is trying to stretch out the books? "
— George, 11/17/2011 -
" This book is good but the series is just too long for its depth; excellent popcorn sf for a while, then from book 4 on tedious. Stopped at 3 or 4, it would have been a great series "
— Liviu, 5/20/2011 -
" This is great science fiction - excellent character development, complex story arcs and just pure excitement to read. I'm glad I got into the Saga of Seven Suns series after 5 of them had been published as it would have killed me to have to wait long periods in between publishing each book. "
— Jason, 5/5/2011 -
" Orbit,fall07 "
— Orbit, 4/12/2011 -
" Complex in some ways but very predictable. Huge number of characters of which some are very good but others are a little too soap operish in nature. "

" Wow! The universe goes to heck in a handbasket, and you just can't stop watching!<br/><br/>You must read the previous books first, though, or you will be terribly lost. "

" Book 5 of the Saga of the Seven Suns.<br/><br/>A great story continues on. Two books after this one to finish the story. It is a great series...very well written...and hold your interest from beginning to end.<br/><br/>This is a classic of science fiction. "
