Another SF you really need to read
Posted by Theo Heselmans on July 29th, 2009
If you're into Space Opera SF, I've got a great suggestion for you:
Kevin J. Anderson wrote a 7 volume chronicle 'The Saga of Seven Suns', about a legendary war, that almost destroyed the galaxy.
It's well over 4000 pages (I read the paperbacks), but a real page-turner !
It's an intriguing, mesmerizing and satisfying read, as it involves many characters. Each short (2 to 5 pages) chapter looks through the eyes of one of the protagonists, sometimes to the same event (giving you alternate points of view).
I read all seven books in a row in about 6 weeks time. As I had to wait for the orders to arrive by mail, I read some books in between, but was eager to start the next volume.
So, if you're looking for some excellent beach/garden/couch-reading, and you're into this stuff: don't hesitate !

I have got to book 5, and as soon as I get time will finish the SAGA.
Its great to find someone else who has read them, I think someone has done some audiobooks so I will try to get those as well. Its a great Space Opera!
Thanks very much! On your advice I bought book 1 to see if it was any good and if it would worth while to buy the rest of them. Yes, it is! I bought all seven, took five of them with me on holiday. Great read! Recommended!
