Publisher Description
The Dark Between the Stars is space opera on a grand scale. Twenty years after the elemental conflict that nearly tore apart the cosmos in The Saga of Seven Suns, a new threat emerges from the darkness, and the human race must set aside its own inner conflicts to rebuild their alliance with the Ildiran Empire for the survival of the galaxy.
Praise for THE SAGA OF THE SEVEN SUNS:
'Sure-footed, suspenseful and tragic ... an exhilarating experience' Locus
'Space opera at its most entertaining' Starlog
'THE SAGA OF THE SEVEN SUNS is worthy of mention in the same breath as Asimov's Foundation series and Hamilton's Nightdawn trilogy. This is science fiction on the grandest of scales, a modern classic' The Alien Online
'A realm of wondrous possibilities ... A fascinating series' Brian Herbert
'A space opera to rival the best the field has ever seen' SF Chronicle
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
At the start of this follow-up to Anderson's epic Saga of the Seven Suns series, the Elemental War has just ended, the Confederation has replaced the corrupt Terran Hanseatic League, and an era of amity between human and the alien Ildirans seems assured. These dreams are foredoomed; not only are the malevolent Klikiss robots even now rebuilding their forces for another attack on the living beings they despise, but an ill-fated Ildiran and human joint expeditionary mission forces the robots to ally themselves with a mysterious evil force: the Shana Rei, personification of the void itself. Unfortunately, this novel replicates the original series' flaws. The multitudinous characters offer more variety than depth, the world-building strains for verisimilitude, and the complex plot comes to feel meandering and grandiose. Anderson's fans will be satisfied, but other readers looking for their space opera fix may want to go elsewhere.
