Review #2681 - Dated: 11th of September, 2008 Author: Tucker |
By far, the best book I have read in the last 6 months!
In this concluding installment in the Saga of the Seven Suns, Kevin J Anderson has brought all the loose ends together and woven them into a tapestry of galactic importance. In here we discover the fate of Peter and Estarra, once figurehead rulers of Earth's scattered colonies and later fugitives from the wrath of Chairman Wenceslas, we discover how the Wental/Verdani alliance survives the invasive onslaught of the Faeros/Mad Designate Rusa'h merging. We discover how one human finally turns the tide on the Klikiss invasion, and we also discover just how deep Cahirman Wenceslas' madness runs, and how the people of Earth react when they discover how much his manipulations have gone.
By far the most shocking, stunning, enthralling read I have encountered in quite a while, this is indeed the summation of the Saga. With everything in it... love, fear, hate, epiphany, revelation, inspiration and exultation... it has something to please even the pickiest reader.
Overall... an opus of a final story, and if you liked any of his 'Saga' books, you're probably already getting out of your chair and heading for the bookshop!
