In this novella, humanity begins its expansion into outer space only to discover that for centuries a multitude of other planets have been interacting on a cosmic scale.
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.
Veiled Alliances is an excellent starting point for readers new to the Saga, as well as an unforgettable adventure for fans of the series.
BONUS: This edition also includes the complete script for the Wildstorm/DC Comics graphic novel of Veiled Alliances.
Praise for Veiled Alliances:
"This novella bursts with intriguing developments and innovative concepts. For readers of the original series who want to know the beginnings of the series, you'll want to snap this up. If you are new to the series, and if you love taut tension and the inklings of what's to come, this may be a good place to start. . . . This is a diverting addition to Anderson's original series." — SF Site
