No current Talk conversations about this book. ![]() ![]() A friend in my science fiction book group recommended this as a super space opera romp, and so it is - remarkably inventive hard science fiction (the world of Virga is ... let's just say it will stretch your brain in terms of gravity and light) with fun, fascinating characters as well. The characters reminded me of those in Scott Lynch's Locke Lamora series and Neal Stephenson's Baroque Cycle, and - as in both of those series - the action is fairly non-stop. I bought the second book immediately upon finishing the first book (and now I'm on book 4). no reviews | add a review

Fiction.
Science Fiction.
HTML: It is the distant future. The world known as Virga is a fullerene balloon three thousand kilometers in diameter, filled with air, water, and aimlessly floating chunks of rock. The humans who live in this vast environment must build their own fusion suns and "towns" that are in the shape of enormous wood and rope wheels that are spun for gravity. Young, fit, bitter, and friendless, Hayden Griffin is a very dangerous man. He's come to the city of Rush in the nation of Slipstream with one thing in mind: to take murderous revenge for the deaths of his parents six years ago. His target is Admiral Chaison Fanning, head of the fleet of Slipstream, which conquered Hayden's nation of Aerie years ago. And the fact that Hayden's spent his adolescence living with pirates doesn't bode well for Fanning's chances. .No library descriptions found. |
