The rollicking sequel to Fortune's Pawn -- an action packed science fiction novel. Devi Morris has a lot of problems. And not the fun, easy-to-shoot kind either.After a mysterious attack left her... This description may be from another edition of this product.
Ashes of worlds brought some needed clarity and closure to a very convoluted tale. The characters were brought to life in ways I could not have foreseen. It was a very satisfying read. I had a hard time putting the book down.
Excellent series

I've really enjoyed reading this series. Anderson did a great job world-building, and his alien races are interesting. This final book I only give four stars because it seemed a little rushed and haphazard. His attention to detail wasn't always there - characters handled some situations in ways that were almost against their personality, because it was seemingly necessary in order to tie up the loose ends and close out the books. But again, this is really a minor flaw in a truly great set of seven books.
Well worth it!

The whole series is great. I was taken in from the first book to the last. I found the books very hard to put down once I started reading them. The characters, plots and sub-plots and just the whole ball of wax. The is a must read for anyone who is looking for something on the same level as Dune. Kevin Anderson's writting is brilliant.
Excellent End to an Excellent Science Fiction Series

I am a softy for grand space opera. Of course, I'll read most forms of science fiction but I love the kind of science fictions that spans galaxies and feature strange alien races and grand space battles. Kevin J. Anderson's seven-book epic, science fiction series, The Saga of the Seven Suns, fits all those criteria. I have been enthralled by this series since the first book, Hidden Empire, was published in 2002. I have to give credit to Anderson for creating an interesting universe with intriguing concepts and mostly original alien races. No, the series wasn't always perfect, but it's fun and exciting, and best of all they are the kind of books you can't put down until you've read the last word. The book arrived on my doorstep Friday and I finished it by Saturday night. I have to give Anderson credit for creating one hell of a good story in Ashes. Of course, like any good final volume, Anderson ties up all the loose ends, but he puts our heroes through a lot along the way, but in the end we get the satisfaction we've been waiting for throughout seven books. If you're not reading The Saga of the Seven Suns you're missing one hell of a great science fiction series and one hell of a rollicking good time.
