Saga of the Seven Suns by Anderson

[LillianSaire]

Has anyone here read the series? It is a sci-fi, humans-are-evil kind of story.  

[Lady Pole]

I've never even heard of it. So who are the good guys?  

[LillianSaire]

Because that dynamic changes so much, it would spoil something. It is the 'humans are evil' version of what would happen if humans found another sentient species but throughout the series human manage to preserve the species.

Hmm. As a fan of the human race in general, I tend to dislike human-hating sentiments in books. But I mean, if it's an awesome book I could give it a try. What's the plot?  

[LillianSaire]

What happens when humans meet an alien species and colonizes words, with the plot moved by the start middle and end of a space war.

It has non-carbon-based species, which adds to the interest because it opens new ideas of the possibilities.
