Story4 out of 5 stars 109
The Lords of Creation rule the Nine Worlds through its control of the ultra-advanced technology that has permitted the colonization of the entire solar System. More gods than men, the Lords of Creation have cheated Death itself. But although they rule the solar system with their god-like scientific knowledge, there are even more powerful forces to be feared lurking out in the dark depths of space. And when an unthinkably terrible enemy that rules a vast network of dead stars and planets comes to the Nine Worlds, it falls to them to stop it, though entire worlds may perish.

Sci-fi on a scale most authors can't even dream of

techno babble and faster than light story jumps
Reviewed: 02-17-25
this was truly hard to follow, not due to the techno babble (which never ends), but because the story progresses VERY quickly, while at the same time the dialog between characters is reminiscent of DBZ in how long they take, despite the obvious time constraints of their situation.
don't get me wrong, I have nothing against techno babble, just felt like an overused crutch to pad the word count.
overall they're pretty good. it's heavy sci-fi with kind of interesting fantasy undertones. you won't regret spending a credit on this trilogy, but i don't know if you'd be sad if you didn't go through it.
the narrator was fantastic.
summary, worth the read if you don't have anything more pressing on your list. the other reviews over hyped it IMHO.
in any case, it's far better than I can do, so take my review only as my opinion, not fact.
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
