    <body><![CDATA[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.]]></body>

    <![CDATA[For years, the alien Klikiss robots have pretended to be humanitys friends, but their seeming help allowed them to plant an insidious Trojan Horse throughout the Earth Defense Forces. Now, 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.<br/><br/>Among the humans, the Hansas 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.<br/><br/>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. <br/><br/>Rapid-fire action and panoramic plotting make this a first-class space opera. - Library Journal]]>

    <body><![CDATA[Very disappointing.  The previous books in this series had enough good writing in them to keep me interested.  But, this is the case of an author who has fallen victim to his own success.  He must have fired every competent editor and he's just vomiting every thought in his head.  Some of it is real...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/29634350">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This is the 6th in this Sci-Fi series. I managed to read the others in the series over last summer. There's enough interesting plot threads to keep me going, but there is a heavy dose of fantasy in these books that is just not my favorite treatment of space fiction.<br/> ]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I liked this book and Anderson added some more story lines to keep the overall story interesting, but there were some plot twists that I expected to be resolved by this point in the series that weren't.  I am hoping that they are resolved in the next book.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[The sixth book in the Saga of Seven Suns, an ambitious space opera with fire, air, earth, and water elementals. And vicious insects and killer robots. That works. The series has a raft of characters and a plot that keeps pulling you along.]]></body>
