Description: " Oh, what worldbuilding! Schroeder is a master." --Cory Doctorow "Lushly realized . . . Queen of Candesce has a backdrop that's simultaneously steampunk and space opera, a complex and believably flawed lead character, and plenty of action and intrigue." --Interzone "With Queen of Candesce , Karl Schroeder's Virga saga establishes itself as an SF saga of the same order as LeGuin's Earthsea series, Asimov's Robot stories, and Niven's Ringworld stories." --SFRevu "Over the years, science-fiction has provided us with awesome environments, the best ones based on careful logic. There was Hal Clement's Mission of Gravity and Robert Forward's Dragon's Egg . Karl Schroeder's new novel is in a class with these masterpieces." --Vernor Vinge on Sun of Suns
