Publisher Description
The war between the alien hydrogues and the faeros rages, reducing suns to blackened shells—including one of the fabled seven suns of the Ildiran Empire. Instead of protecting themselves, the Ildirans engage in bloody civil war and the many factions of humanity are bitterly divided. Can mankind and Ildirans overcome their own internal fighting to face a deadly new enemy that is ready to annihilate them?
Newly ascended to the Ildiran throne, Mage-Imperator Jora’h must quash the rebellion launched by his mad brother before the hydrogues destroy what is left of the empire. Assailed from all sides, Jora’h turns to his beloved half-human daughter, dispatching her on a desperate mission to make peace with the hydrogues.
Hope for humanity now rests with Jess Tamblyn, who continues to seed worlds with the watery wentals, the mortal enemies of the hydrogues. And on the ravaged planet of Theroc, home to a telepathic worldforest, a dead man is resurrected to prepare for the arrival of mysterious new allies in the fight.
But Chairman Basil Wenceslas’s vendetta against the free-spirited Roamers has blinded him to danger closer to home—the soldier machines that make up the backbone of the Hansa fighting force. King Peter has long suspected that the compies, built with the help of the ancient Klikiss robots, cannot be trusted. Now the shocking proof comes when the Klikiss launch their long-planned extermination of all things flesh and blood. And in the ensuing battle, humans and Ildirans alike will face their darkest choices yet.…

"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 out of 5 stars)

" About the same as the other books in the series, but I am starting to get to the point where I want to know what happens at the end of the series. "
— Emily, 2/18/2014 -
" 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. "
— John, 1/28/2014 -
" EEP "
— Aidan, 1/15/2014 -
" It's predictable and sometimes annoying (like the previous 3) but it keeps my attention and entertains me when I am up late. I would prefer it on CD however. "

" Best Sci Fi Series Ever. "
— Cliff, 1/4/2014 -
" The Saga grabs your attention. I would like perhaps more chapter time for each of the different scenarios/characters, The short bursts for each character and situation is a good way to keep you turning the pages but not the best writing. I'm hooked though and now on Book 5 "Of Fire and Night". "
— R, 1/3/2014 -
" Not as intense as book 3, but overall a good read. Just when you think things can't get worse, they do. But there are glimmers of hope and finality at the end. "
— Jeremiah, 12/19/2013 -
" It won't knock your socks off, but it's a quick read and won't strain your brain. Perfectly average space opera. "
— Jeffrey, 11/26/2013 -
" It goes on and on but fortunately plot lines come to an end as new ones begin. "
— Aramis, 11/20/2013 -
" I started with the fourth book so took a little while to understand what was going on with the different groups. If you love science fiction then this series is worth it. Though I recommend to start with the first book. "
— Kendra, 11/17/2013 -
" builds of the previous book, and makes you want to read the next "
— Shawn, 10/5/2013 -
" The saga continues to develop. I like the new narrator. There are so many story lines, but the author does a good job of telling the story of each character. I am looking forward to the next book. "
— Maria, 4/21/2013 -
" Loved this entire series - very readable and fun "
— Phil, 6/16/2012 -
" Now that we are closer to the climax of the series, the various sub-plots are all picking up speed and build up the reader's expectations very nicely. You are left at the end on tenterhooks - the final moments can almost be seen, and an unexpected twist at the end left me wanting more. "

" Book 4 a little disappointing but I'm hooked "
— Marc, 7/17/2011 -
" for the most part, this was a book that just kept the story going. i dont think there are any particularly great moments, per se, but this is still a solid book. at this point in the series, i was so drawn into the story that i couldnt NOT read the book. it was pretty good. "

" Good solid space opera fare - and damn those Klikiss robots are scary as hell! Looking forward to working through the final three later this year sometime. "
