    <body><![CDATA[This wraps up the 7 book series.  I tell you it has been a fantastic journey.  I have never been nor am I now a science fiction fan.  With this series it doesn't really matter.  This series was truly epic.  Magnificent!  You just can't put all 7 books down.  I recommend it for anyone and everyone.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I just started this one after finishing up another excellent book and I'm having trouble getting into the groove.  Although the author starts out with an attention getting scene...it's still hard to forget the other book I just read...so I'll let you know how it goes as I get into it more!]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This is the conclusion to an ambitious space opera. A fantasy set in space, the series provides a fun read not tied down by a rigid adherence to established science. Like the others in The Saga of Seven Suns series, this book won't standalone so start with Hidden Empire.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[The final volume in The Saga of Seven Suns -- excellent, and satisfying ending.  I am sad (as always when I read a good series) to come to the end.  I am now looking to read Kevin Anderson's new fantasy book, The Edge of the World.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This whole series was a poor relation to the Dune books but it kept me happy for a few months.  Everything was tied up nicely in this one.  I did enjoy Basil getting his comeuppance.  A seven book series is too long though.]]></body>
