Saga of Seven Suns
Kevin J. Anderson
7 books
The Saga of Seven Suns is classic grand-scale space opera: multiple alien civilizations, a humanity spread across the stars, and a cataclysmic war sparked by humanity's disastrous first contact with the Ildirans and the ancient, elemental Hydrogues. Anderson juggles dozens of point-of-view characters across seven fat novels, delivering the kind of sweeping, galaxy-spanning epic that fans of classic SF have always craved. Rich worldbuilding and relentless momentum make this one of the defining space operas of the 2000s.
