Anybody read the Evergence trilogy by Sean Williams and Shane Dix?

SFBC just published an omnibus of the three books, sounds interesting enough, thinking of picking it up.

Any opinions?

Been a while since I posted this. These guys seem to be a fairly well regarded author duo of Space Opera. They are writing a trilogy in the Star Wars: New Jedi Order saga.

Anybody read their books? They sound pretty interesting.

I've got a copy of Echoes of Earth, FF - comes well regarded! - but haven't really dipped into it properly yet. The bits I've read through as I dipped in seem Ok though. Space opera stuff....

Would be interested to hear from others who have actually read that or the Evergence series, though.

I'm not much help.

I have read one other story by this pair and enjoyed it immensely but I'm still running the ending through my brain. Just a little too ambiguous. I've read lots of Sean Williams short stories tho and always liked them.

I read Evergence and didn't like it. Could never put my finger on why, but somehow, I was just bored reading the whole thing. I also quickly grew irritated that everything was capitalized eg High Human, True Human, and a bunch of other things that didn't need to be capitzlized.
It's not awful, but I guess I was kinda expecting something along the lines of Deathstalker by Simon Green or the Aces and Jokers series by George R.R. Martin - you know over the top sci-fi that almost becomes a comic book. The content just seemed to beg for that kind of treatment, but instead, the authors chose to write it with a straight as serious sci-fi.
