I have to admit, that track record doesn't inspire me with confidence but please put any past prejudices you have aside and give Seven Suns a try. The series is absolutely terrific teeming with plots, subplots and a varied tapestry of characters. It is Anderson's own original work and I suspect it is more of a labour of love than many of his "written to order" novels.
This is not high science fiction. This is pure space opera and the only science is of the di-lithium crystal variety. Nevertheless it is a great great read.

I have read books 1 through 6 and they were pretty good. Book six begins to get a little weird but still enjoyed it. Book 7 is due this month June 2008
I am nearly finished book 6 and there are a few weird bits alright. I can't quite see where that where that "expansions of consciousness" thing is going and whether it is good or bad.
I think the series is due to finish in book 7 so I am looking forward to seeing how he resolves the various plot lines. Too bad I will have to wait six months or so for a pocket sized paperback edition to come out.
