good

This is a good audiobook, although the way it's divided into tracks make it difficult to transfer to an ipod. The actual book is a solid continuation of the series. I can't wait for the next installment.

Spellbinding

all I can say is... wow. I started reading the series because as a kid I enjoyed Anderson's star wars books (hey what are you doing, please put away the pitchforks and torches) and i wanted to see what he could do in a universe of his own.

Like the rest of the series this book has enough logical inconsistencies that the sci-fi snobs will hate it, but they are probably too busy re-reading I, Robot for the 537'th time anyways. For those of us who read for a good story this book is absolutely worth it, because this book has a hell of a good story.

Anderson wraps up plenty of the storyline so you really get a good sense of closure for this part of the series, but enough ominous loose ends exist that I'm sure the next two books will be as much a roller coaster as the first five.

Totally swept away in another world!

I absolutely adore the Dune series. The most recent books of which are coauthored by Kevin J Anderson, and Brian Herbert (Frank's son).

While waiting for the next Dune book to come out, i decided to try Saga of the Seven suns. I quickly devoured each available book in this series, and for the last two have eagerly anticipated their release. I can't wait for the next one!

The plot line is so intriguing, the characters so well developed. I love the way the story is told from each person's perspective. Sometimes it will even overlap events two characters shared in common and show it through each character's eyes.

I recommend you start from the beginning, but Dune and Saga of the Seven Suns are both written with little flashbacks here and there to anchor the current events and remind you of what happened before. (kinda like a 'previously on such and such tv show'). That might help you follow along if you jumped in the middle. But you'll probably enjoy it the most if you get to know the characters through their lives by starting at the beginning. (that way you don't have to play catchup)

To summarize the series, There are 4 races of Elemental beings that have been at war for thousands of years. Earth, Water, Fire, and Gas. There are also humans (still anchored at Earth), and a race called Ildrians which have like a telekenesis that links them all together. There are insectoid robots fashioned by a long suspected to be extinct race of insectoid organic creatures the Klikiss. There is also a vagabond group of ragtag humans who have learned to survive the most extreme conditions, known as the Roamers. And there are robots (compies) created by the human race to service their needs. The smaller less sophisticated races Humans, Roamers, and Ildrians are swept into this galactic battle that has been waged for centuries between the elemental races. And join forces with Verandi (earth), and Wental (water) to fight the Hydrogues (Gas).

This book has it all. Love, War, magnificent battles. Heartache. Happiness. Victory and Triumph. The battle of good versus evil. Internal conflicts of conscience. It is fantastic.

Exciting Series

I could not wait for the paperback to come out - The Sage of the Seven Suns is full of suprizes and a good read. A must read for those looking for excitement and entainment! I'll be look for more in this series and or just other books by the author!

Fifth times the charm

My kids got this for me after I put it on my wish list. I had read the first four but hadn't got any after that, and this was a treat. The Saga of the Seven Suns follows Scattered Suns and it took me a bit to get back into the story. I found myself rereading the first hundred or so pages once I reconnected everything in my mind. Two thumbs up!
