Saga 1 - Hidden Empire



Synopsis
"Having colonized the worlds of the spiral arm* the three branches of humanity - the Earth-based Terran Hanseatic League* the telepathic Green Priests of Theroc* and the fiercely rebellious* starship-dwelling Roamers - consider themselves lords of creation. After all* humans share the galaxy with only two alien species* one harmless and one extinct. The benign Ildirans are an ancient* senescent civilization* while the Klikiss vanished ages before* leaving behind vast ruins filled with technological wonders but no clues to their mysterious disappearance." "So humans* ambitious for new territory* see the galaxy as theirs for the taking. And when two xeno-archaeologists discover a Klikiss device that can convert gas giant planets into new* life-giving suns* the humans promptly put their new technology to the test. The result is hideous beyond imagination..." "For the supposedly uninhabitable gas giants are the homeworlds of another alien species - the hydrogues. Infinitely more advanced than the Ildirans* supremely more powerful than the Klikiss* and now the victims of accidental genocide* the hydrogues don't seek explanations* apologies* or reparations. Instead* armadas of invincible* city-sized warships emerge from their gaseous worlds with a single purpose: to annihilate every last human - whether Earth-based* Theron* or Roamer." Suddenly* humans need allies* but the Klikiss can't help them and the Ildirans won't. In their pride* the upstart worlds of man have misunderstood the brutal realities of the galaxy...and now face their own impending doom.

Saga 2 - A Forest of Stars

All are unabridged.


Publishers Weekly
Bestseller Anderson turns up the heat in his second Saga of the Seven Suns installment (after 2002's Hidden Empire)* proving he has firepower to burn. He weaves action* romance and science with a rousing plot reflecting the classic SF of Clarke and Herbert and the glossy cinematic influence of Lucas and Spielberg. Five years after the events in Hidden Empire* hydrogues* gas giant aliens* continue to plague the Terran Hanseatic League in retaliation for the Hansa's "accidental" destruction of a hydrogue planet. This time they're also eager to destroy their ancient enemy* the Verdani* an interconnected* semi-sentient worldforest far more dangerous to the quicksilver aliens than mere humans ("The roots of a tree can shatter mountains* given time"). EDF (Earth Defense Forces) have hidden enemies in the Klikiss robots* whose resolve to reprogram "compies" (short for "Competent Computerized Companions") into human-killing robots is just as alarming as covert alien experiments on humans. Anderson's well-drawn cast includes spy Davin Lotze* an exosociologist who discovers a new method of space travel; earthy space-trader Rlinda Kett; King Peter* a reluctant "puppet" who challenges power-mad Basil Wenceslas; and DD* the terrified friendly compy kidnapped by a ruthless Klikiss robot. Sparked with surprises* enriched by ecological issues that laypersons can appreciate* this saga soars as it exposes the inner and external roots of war.

Synopsis
The war between the alien hydrogues and the faeros rages* reducing suns to blackened shells - including one of the fabled seven suns of the Ildiran Empire.

Can mankind and Ildirans overcome their own internal fighting to face a deadly new enemy that is ready to annihilate them?

Newly ascended to the Ildiran throne* Mage-Imperator Jora'h must quash the rebellion launched by his mad brother before the hydrogues destroy what is left of the empire. Assailed from all sides* Jora'h turns to his beloved half-human daughter* dispatching her on a desperate mission to make peace with the hydrogues.

Hope for humanity now rests with Jess Tamblyn* who continues to seed worlds with the watery wentals* the mortal enemies of the hydrogues. And on the ravaged planet of Theroc* home to a telepathic worldforest* a dead man is resurrected to prepare for the arrival of mysterious new allies in the fight.

But Chairman Basil Wenceslas's vendetta against the free-spirited Roamers has blinded him to danger closer to home - the soldier machines that make up the backbone of the Hansa fighting force. King Peter has long suspected that the compies* built with the help of the ancient Klikiss robots* cannot be trusted. Now the shocking proof comes when the Klikiss launch their long-planned extermination of all things flesh and blood. And in the ensuing battle* humans and Ildirans alike will face their darkest choices yet...
