Library Journal Review

This seventh and final entry (following Metal Swarm) in New York Times best-selling author Anderson's "Saga of the Seven Suns" series begins with a lengthy recap of the previous titles, then documents the final conflicts of the seven-year saga of interplanetary wars between the human and alien races for control of the universe. Clear-voiced David Colacci (Of Fire and Night) makes easy work of the many fantasy names, though some of his characterizations are rather limited. As a title that translates successfully to audio, recommended for public and academic libraries with large sf collections.
