The Sunless Countries: Book Four of Virga
by Karl SchroederReview by Ernest Lilley Tor Books Hardcover ISBN/ITEM#: 9780765320766 Date: 04 August 2009 List Price $25.99 Amazon US / Amazon UK / Show Article / In the fourth book in Karl Schroeder's imaginative Virga series, our main character is Leal Maspeth, a history tutor hoping to make full professor...but swimming uphill against a repressive theocracy in the floating city of Pacquaea, which seeks to create a consensual history out of whatever they choose to believe rather than the inconvenient truths of the past. But as ships and whole floating cities begin to go missing, it's exactly the sort of heretical truth that Leah has spent her life pursing that will be needed to understand the conflict that Pacquaea finds itself at the center of. From official release/information: Product Description: In an ocean of weightless air where sunlight has never been seen, only the running lights of the city of Pacquaea glitter in the dark. One woman, Leal Hieronyma Maspeth, history tutor and dreamer, lives and dreams of love among the gaslit streets and cafés. And somewhere in the abyss of wind and twisted cloud through which Pacquaea eternally falls, a great voice has begun speaking. (Source: Tor Books)
