I am no one. I pass from dark into dark. I hunt a track gone cold as stone.
For five thousand Earthyears, the planet called Nevermore has been empty. Its cities are deserted, with every trace of their inhabitants erased. Only a handful of nomadic tribes remain, none of whom remember the ones who went before.
An expedition from Earth has been excavating one of the planet’s many ruins, and attempting without success to find the cause of its people’s disappearance. Now the expedition is in trouble, its funding cut; unless it makes a major discovery, and soon, it will be shut down. Then the United Planets will invade Nevermore and strip it of its resources, and destroy its ancient and enigmatic treasures.
Aisha, the daughter of the chief archaeologists, tries to save the expedition by opening a sealed tomb or treasury—and manages instead to destroy it. But one treasure survives, which may be the key to the planet’s mystery. That treasure is alive, and deeply dangerous: a long-forgotten king and conqueror, sentenced to be preserved in stasis centuries before his world was abandoned.
Khalida is a Military Intelligence officer with a quarter-million deaths on her conscience. She has retreated to the near-solitude of Nevermore to try to come to terms with what she has done, but her past will not let her go. The war she thought she had ended still rages, and is about to destroy one planet and spread chaos through a hundred more. Her superiors force her back into service, and dispatch her to a world that may also offer a clue to the mystery of Nevermore.
With the alien king, the sentient starship he liberates from an unholy alliance of Military Intelligence and the Interstellar Institute for Psychic Research, and a crew of scientists, explorers, and renegades, Aisha and Khalida set off on a journey to the end of the universe and beyond. What they find will change not only the future of Nevermore, but that of all the United Planets.
“Evil government agencies, powerful psionics, tense diplomacy, ancient mysteries, the multiverse, and an intelligent starship…there’s no slowing the momentum of the high-stakes adventure. Space opera fans will enjoy this lively story and its homages to the pulp SF era.” –Publishers Weekly

Excellent--intelligent and exciting; thoroughly enjoyed it.
By Duodentes
I bought this book through a Kickstarter campaign because I'm predisposed to like Judith Tarr's work. I was not disappointed.
Forgotten Suns is a hybrid science fiction/fantasy (fantasy only if you consider faster-than-light space travel, reincarnation (implied), and highly developed psi in humans in the far future to be scientific impossibilities). Boiled down, Forgotten Suns is a space adventure (with superhero).
It features two point-of-view characters, a 13-year-old girl (prodigy) who embarks on the adventure to save the family business (an archaeological dig on a mysterious planet, long-since abandoned by most of its humanoid inhabitants, with a few left behind as caretaker/guardians). The other POV character is the girl's aunt, an emotionally scarred veteran of a psionic spy agency who is ordered to return to the scene of the events that scarred her to finish the job. This is essentially a macguffin since it serves to get niece and aunt off the planet in the company of a mysterious stranger who recently turned up.
It's the stranger's imperatives that drive the plot. The stranger turns out to be a psionically advanced native of the planet who wants to find out why it was abandoned and where the people went.
The psionic spy agency and some of its minions are, of course, the villains of the piece. Not to mention the [well, I can't mention it because spoilers, but superheroism is required to deal with it].
The three main characters do grow and learn and change, but the story is about 60 percent adventure (traveling about, solving the mystery, and one-upping/eliminating villains) to 40 percent character growth, well-blended.
There's also a nice space beast to ride around in.
In the opening stages of the story, if you're familiar with Tarr's earlier work, you'll experience a "whoa!" moment when you suddently recognize one of the characters. To avoid spoilers, I'll just say that it's not too long before you'll realize that Forgotten Suns is a continuation. That said, it's an independent story, and it's entirely unnecessary to have read any of the related novels. I recommend that you do anyway.
It's also a continuation--to some extent--of some of the ideas introduced in Living in Threes, specifically the concept of a "worldsweb," an extrapolation of the World Wide Web that involves brain implants and/or psi.
One of the things I like about Judith Tarr's work is that she respects the reader's intelligence and doesn't describe every detail of the novel's world or explain every piece of technology or exactly how things work or why things happen. She gives the needed information but allows the reader to fill things in, to make the leaps of imagination. If you want every i dotted and every t crossed, every equation solved with accompanying engineering drawings, this isn't the book for you. The advantage is that the book doesn't go on for 500 pages more than necessary to tell the story. I've discovered in fact that it's longer than it seemed while I was reading it (this is good)--about 350 hardcover pages.
And though the novel is open ended, it's self-contained. You may want to know what happens next, but you won't be crushed if there's no sequel. Though it would be nice, pretty please.
This is not a love story. There are some sketchy romantic relationships (including same sex), but they aren't the focus of the novel. More time is spent on interactions with the nice space beast and on the training of horse-like antelopes and, especially, on friendships and family obligations and on cooperation among several people accustomed to going it alone and doing things their own way. Synergy.

A Great Science Fiction Adventure
By Christine Meads
I won this book on LibraryThing and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
It is a science fiction/fantasy space adventure with a hero and a young girl.
Some of the people on Nevermore are psi, and the Military Intelligence comes to take those children who have psi. Aisha is one, and one day she tries to help her parents who are part of an archeological team, and blows open a hill. Out of that hill comes a man--she has awakened someone that has been sleeping for over 6000 years. She calls him Rama. With her help, and the help of her aunt, Khalida, Rama tracks down what's left of his people.
This book is full of adventure, of jumping between universes (if there are more than ours), and the struggle of Aisha to grow up and mature. It deals with love, friendships, and promises kept.
I would recommend this book to those interested in space travel and adventure.

Award-winning author's first space opera!
By Margaret A. Davis
Yes! Thank you, Kickstarter! Thank you, Book View Cafe! Hooray that Locus & World Fantasy-award-winning longtime fantasy author Judith Tarr finally got to publish her space opera Forgotten Suns! And she did it up big!
Sense of awe & wonder? Check! Solid worldbuilding? Check! Forgotten civilization and man out of time [from said long ago time]? Check! Sentient spaceship? Check!
If you are ready for a rousing space opera (as hasn't often been written since the Golden Age pulps), have I got a treat for you! [See also: http://whatever.scalzi.com/2015/05/07/the-big-idea-judith-tarr/ ]
