Has anyone read or are in the process of reading Kevin J. Anderson's Saga of the Seven Suns series? If not I highly recomending getting hold of the first book Hidden Empire!
Here is the abstract from the back:
"In the far future, humanity began to search the stars, sending out vast spaceships that would take generations to reach their goals. In the depths of space they encountered the Ildiran empire - apparantly the galaxy's only other intelligent civilisation. The Ildirans came to Earth and passed on the knowledge of their stardrive, allowing humanity to expand to the stars.
Almost two hundred years after that first contact, human colonies proliferate thought the galaxy. But as Mankind prepares to seize the future, danger ccomes from the past, as two human archeologists glean forbidden knowledge from the runis of a dead world. Once, the insect-like Klikiss ruled the stars. Now, only their robot servants remain, guardians of a terrible technology - the Klikiss Torch, which has the power to create suns.
Humanity prepares to flex its new found muscle and activate the Torch for the first time in millennia, but there are reasons the Klikiss empire fell, and a tran of events is about to be set in motion that will change the universe for ever..."
