";s:4:"text";s:3671:"Hidden Empire's biography. The Hidden Empire by Kevin J. Anderson is a great science fiction drama that in some places approaches a soap opera. Great characters, great action, great pacing. But anyway I still stupidly got attached and now I feel the need to read all seven. I've read it and the second while the third sits on my shelf waiting. I have always enjoyed the story and intricate interplay of plots, sub plots and intrigues that made up the Dune story. I was still disappointed). T The corresponding result is a floating, emotional journey through a distinctive mixture of genres. While adhering to many established tropes in space operas, including a handwaved FTL drive and form of instantaneous communication (sort of), Anderson has crafted interesting political entities and distinct cultures with often-conflicting agendas.This book is largely lacking in good character development. There is a lot of it in fact. And it led the classic sci fi fan to believe that the book would be full of high end ideas and sense of wonder moments that drew you to the genre in the first place. Other than the Klikiss, an extinct race whose archaeological remains are scattered on disparate planets, only humanity and the Ildarans remain as sentient species, and they are partners, at peace.Replete with political intrigue, a powerful alien aggressor, and parables of human folly, The Saga of Seven Suns has everything a reader wants from an epic science fiction adventure. I got a bit sucked into this one somehow. I was in the mood for a good space opera and this sounded good. The writing is pretty aweful and the storyline is a bit all over the place.
