Críticas

"SUN OF SUNS is a rip-roaring story full of marvellous images and cutting edge ideas. Schroeder has the rare and invaluable ability to develop wholly new concepts and turn them into compelling narratives. The scientists are already studying Schroeder's ideas. Take him very seriously." -STEPHEN BAXTER"

Reseña del editor

Welcome to the world known as Virga: 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" in the shape of enormous wood and rope wheels that are spun for gravity. It is the setting for rebellions, political struggle, and dark expanses of empty winter. Young, 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, that conquered Hayden's nation of Aerie years ago. The fact that Hayden's spent his adolescence living with pirates doesn't bode well for Fanning's chances...
