is it worth it? i do not know enough about "The Saga of Seven Suns". The only books i read from Kevin J. Anderson were the dune jihad prequels which he wrote together with herbert. these were first entertaining (butlerian jihad), then boring (machine crusade) and at last become total crap (battle for corin).

I read the first one. It is longish and at places slow, but overall it is not that bad a space opera.

I'd say Saga of the Seven Suns is a competent space opera, but nothing spectacular. Anderson does a good job with the world building, but his writing style is more workmanlike than anything else, and the characters feel like cut-out. (See our here and here.
But remember, books for the low, low price of free is always worth it.

"is it worth it?"
For free? Sure. For pay? I'd rather get it for free.
