Product Description

Product Description

The allied factions of humanity, along with the waning Ildiran Empire, the powerful water elementals and sentient trees, have defeated the near-invincible race of the hydrogues, driving them back into the depths of gas-giant planets. But before peace can heal the wounds between the races, two ancient enemies return: the capricious fiery elementals, the faeros, who mean to burn all those who fought alongside their enemies; and the lost hive race of the Klikiss, who intend to reclaim the worlds they inhabited 10,000 years earlier, worlds that are now home to many human colonies. Meanwhile, the leader of the Terran Hanseatic League, Chairman Basil Wenceslas, intends to pull all of humanity's unruly stepchildren into his iron grip -- even if it means he has to hold the Ildiran Mage-Imperator hostage, risking renewed war with an entire alien civilization. Thus the myriad storylines of galactic warfare and personal betrayals, starlost romances and titanic alien conflicts are brought to a thrilling conclusion.

5.0 out of 5 stars A good ending to a great saga, 18 Jan 2010
By H. Robertson - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I read the first 5 books as they came out and only recently bought the final two books.
Before getting them I read a review saying that they feel rushed.. that Anderson hurriedly wraps up all the arcs of the the story to their conclusions.
I disagree with this and think that the quality of the writing remains high and the final two books are a pleasure to read.
The ending is perfectly satisfying.. no cliff hanger but no sense of 'Oh. Is that it?' at the end.

If you're read the previous instalments you should definitely finish it off.
If you haven't read any of them then I thoroughly recommend this and the whole saga, to all those who like a bit of science fiction or just a good story.

3.0 out of 5 stars A good Soap Opera, not Hard Sci-Fci, 28 Dec 2009
I've read all seven books of the series and I liked them as light reading that happens to have sci-fci elements in it and that's where it ends. Although some of the earlier books have brilliant sci-fci themes in them, most of these are not explored enough. There is no question about Kevin Anderson's ability to write an easily flowing narrative with credible characters. But, you know exactly what to expect from each and every character. Even before you've read a third of the book, you can easily see how the book will unfold and finish, pretty much like the block-buster movies with proven formulas.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best., 3 Nov 2009
By A. McMahon (England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I have read all of the seven volumes in this saga and enjoyed every one. The only criticism I have is that the Chairman was not skinned alive, or boiled in oil slowly or something equally dreadful and prolonged!
I also feel that he was given the wrong name in 'Wenceslas' 'cos 'Father Christmas'- he 'aint!

He is by far the most odious villain in any book I have read in a very long time, but congratulations to Kevin J Anderson for being able to create a character able to engender such revulsion in the reader. Also for all the other characters in the series, both heroes and villains, that made this last book of the series so well worth waiting for.

They say that everyone has a book inside waiting to get out. I hope very much that Kevin J Anderson has many more books and sagas just waiting to `get out!'

For Science Fiction Fans, one of the best series of books I have ever read.
