5.0 out of 5 stars Love it almost as much as i love Dune, June 4, 2008

By	Andrea E. Conrad "=^..^=" (Houston, TX USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Kevin J Anderson is a top notch sci-fi author. I got hooked onto this series while waiting for the latest of the Kevin J and Brian Herbert Dune books to be released. If you liked the Dune Machine Crusades and the other books around it, you will probably like this book. Like the Machine crusades books, humanity is challenged by a powerful enemy. The story continues through several books (unlike some of the earlier original series Dune books where the end of the book seemed like it could be the end of the story). It leaves you on the edge of your seat, foaming at the mouth for the next book, but i have no problems with that ;) . The characters are always well written and compeling, the plots complex but easy to follow (imo you could pickup in the middle of a series because they do give background and remind you of what's going on, though i would suggest starting from the beginning as it's most entertaining that way), and the great thing is it's so difficult to predict the next step in these books unlike most movies which are so predictable to me. I get so wrapped up in these i feel like i'm in the story myself. You know the character so well and follow them from book to book, you really care about them. I cry, i cheer along with the characters of these books. I LOVE the saga of the seven suns series. If you're the impatient type like the negative rater before me, rent a movie, and leave the books for the rest of us to devour.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very solid, November 8, 2008

By	William B. Trent - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Chances are that if you've read volumes 1-4 you will be pleased with Fire and Night. It may be the most action filled of the 5 so far and certainly contains no shortage of plot resolutions and additions.

My only minor disappointment was that the two big, new plot introductions were done at the very end of the volume with little time to rev them up in preparation for the next book. Also, at least one of these seemed like kind of a silly reach to me. Perhaps I'll be proven wrong.

I am very interested to see how the author continues the various story arcs without it becoming an instance of "just one damn thing after another".

5.0 out of 5 stars Of Twists and Turns, December 31, 2007

By	ostawookiee "ostawookiee" (Winston-Salem, NC USA) - See all my reviews

Another great book (5th) in the series by Kevin Anderson. While the series takes a bit to get going, in that you're introduced to a lot of different plot lines immediately, by this time they're all easy to follow. The thing I like most about this series is STUFF ACTUALLY HAPPENS. There are many other multi-book series where when you finish a book you feel like not much has happened even though you just read 600 pages. Not so with The Saga of Seven Suns. This fifth book, in my opinion, harbors the most change from start to finish, and left me amazed at where he's taken the story. Anderson isn't afraid to shake up the plot into entirely new directions, or to kill off characters where it makes sense...
