Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly
Bestseller Anderson delivers more on-the-edge-of-your-seat SF thrills in the fourth installment of his Seven Suns saga (after 2004's Horizon Storms). Moments of extreme tenderness temper the relentless and often graphic descriptions of a brutal, seemingly endless war among the civilizations that populate the Spiral Arm. As before, menacing turncoat Klikiss robots plot to eradicate all humans (and humanoid alien Ildirans), while the delightfully dismayed DD, a captive robot "compy," takes notes in the event he ever escapes the Klikiss and can warn the humans he serves. Meanwhile, the angry hydrogues, who inhabit gas-giant planets, continue their campaign against humans, verdani ("worldforest" dwellers) and faeros (sun dwellers). Anderson handles a huge cast and complicated plot with élan.

From AudioFile
Various creatures populate this hard science fiction saga, including humans, water aliens, inhabitants of frigid gas giant planets, and intelligent robots with a grudge against biological beings. There are spaceships, interstellar battles, derelicts from ancient civilizations, and on and on. It would help listeners immensely to have read the previous three books--the cast of characters is bewildering though the writing is crisp and intelligent. David Colacci's youthful, mildly expressive voice is a plus. He slides readily from one distinct characterization to another, with mild audio enhancements such as the tinny sound of an intercom. Lots of action here, and a fully realized universe. D.A.W. © AudioFile 2005, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine --This text refers to the Audio CD edition.
