Together in one volume, these two short novels complete the story of
the internationally bestselling, “wondrously imagined” space opera
(Kirkus Reviews). Kevin J. Anderson’s magnificent epic series the
Saga of Seven Suns and its sequel the Saga of Shadows has been called
“a space opera to rival the best the field has ever seen,” ten
huge novels that cover a future interstellar empire and a galaxy at
war (San Francisco Chronicle). These two short novels, Veiled
Alliances and Whistling Past the Graveyard, tell key parts of the
saga. Veiled Alliances is a prequel to the entire series, describing
the origin of the green priests on Theroc, the first Roamer sky mining
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 on Dobro. Whistling Past the
Graveyard is the connecting novel between the two series, lead-in to
the Hugo-nominated novel The Dark Between the Stars. Trade Minister
Rlinda Kett seeks to reestablish contact with lost human colonies that
have vanished in the chaos after the elemental war nearly destroyed
the cosmos. She travels to a planet called Happiness, site of an
isolated neo-Amish colony where the treacherous Prince Daniel was
exiled. As a civil war brews among the Roamer clans over the old ways
versus new business methods, some brave clans venture back to
skymining again, harvesting the restless clouds of huge gas
giants—where the threat of the devastating hydrogue aliens always
looms . . . “A setting so rich and detailed that the reader will
suspend disbelief and actually be there.” —R. A. Salvatore
