Product Description
For years, the alien Klikiss robots have pretended to be humanity's friends, but their seeming "help" allowed them to plant an insidious Trojan Horse throughout the Earth Defense Forces. Now, in the aftermath of a devastating war, swarms of ancient robots built by the Klikiss continue their depredations on helpless worlds with stolen and heavily armed Earth battleships.
Among the humans, the Hansa's brutal Chairman struggles to crush any resistance even as King Peter breaks away to form his own new Confederation among the colonies who have declared their independence.
And meanwhile, the original, voracious Klikiss race, long thought to be extinct, has returned, intent on conquering their former worlds and willing to annihilate anyone in the way.

 Old enemies return October 30, 2008
Another book my kids got for me after I put it on my wish list. This is the sixth in the Saga of the Seven Suns, and the next to last book in the series, finally out in paperback in June. The pace is fast, and I loved that. The end leaves things open for the last book.
The Confederation is doing well, but its enemies haven't gone away. The Klikiss have returned to search out their robots and destroy them. Yet they are also killing humans when they get in the way. As the Klikiss robots use the captured EDF warships to attack their former masters, the insect-like aliens fight back. Sirix starts to question his own plans while the faeros have become more aggressive since the Rusa'h has been incarnated as a fire elemental.
True to form, the story produces more threats against the Confederation than it resolves. It remains interesting. Two thumbs up!
Best Series In Years July 30, 2008
This is the best series I've read in years. Complex characters, fast paced with fascinating plot lines, the series takes off in the first book and doesn't slow down to the last page. I will be looking for more from Kevin J. anderson.

This is without a doubt the best scifi series I have ever read! The character development is outstanding. The chapters are short and concise. Can hardly wait for the final book...yes, I know it is out in hardback, but my "set" is paperback so I will wait! (Maybe) Anderson is a terrific writer and I look for his books.
An outstanding book with a horrid cliff hanger! July 5, 2008
I love the Saga, and KJA has defiantly given fans another great installment in the series with this book.
Same as the rest doesn't disappoint! May 17, 2008
I've read the 5 previous books and the 6th (Metal Swarm ) doesn't disappoint. You either love this series or you hate it. No in between.
I like it because it's like reading 4 or 5 books all in one. A long book that is made up of intertwining short stories.
It takes a long time for the plot to develop and that is why some people do hate this series. After all we live in a society of instant gratification.
My suggestion, pick up the first in the series and read 20 pages in the bookstore. Either it'll grab you and I'll see you on book 6 in no time or it won't and no worries.
