Saga of Seven Suns, Veiled Alliances: A Prequel Novella to the Epic Space Opera

A prequel novella to Kevin J. Anderson’s bestselling space opera epic, The Saga of Seven Suns.

It is a time of great beginnings. Set a century before the grand events of the Saga of Seven Suns, Veiled Alliances chronicles the origin of the green priests on Theroc, the first Roamer skymining operations on a gas-giant planet, the discovery of the Klikiss robots entombed in an abandoned alien city, the initial Ildiran expedition to Earth, the rescue of the generation ship Burton and the tragedy that leads to sinister breeding experiments.

Eleven exploratory ships carrying people who don’t want their descendants to have to live on what they see Earth becoming have now been discovered by another, more advanced, space-faring civilization, the Ildiran Empire. The empire helps the refugees — by now the several-generations-later offspring of the original voyagers — settle in suitable situations and sends diplomats with a few of them to Earth to establish commerce and other connections. Meanwhile, both Earth and Ildiran authorities bring hidden agendas to their first-contact discussions.

Veiled Alliances is an excellent starting point for readers new to the Saga, as well as an unforgettable adventure for fans of the series.

The book stands out for its superlative art by Robert Teranishi, whose rendering of characters, machines and alien planets is stunning.

BONUS: This edition also includes the complete script for the Wildstorm/DC Comics graphic novel of Veiled Alliances.
