false 2321054 1 Return to Virga, a bubble universe artificially separated from our own future universe, and the setting of <i>Sun of Suns</i> and <i>Queen of Candesce</i>. Chaison Fanning, the admiral of a fleet of warships, has been captured and imprisoned by his enemies, but is suddenly rescued and set free. He flees through the sky to his home city to confront the ruler who betrayed him. And perhaps even to regain his lovely, powerful, and subversive wife, Venera, who he has not seen since she fled with the key to the artificial sun at the center of Virga, Candesce. Schroeder sets a whole new standard for hard SF space opera. 2327576 5 8 2008 Pirate Sun (Virga, #3) total:57|5:14|4:28|3:12|2:2|1:1| 57 223 110 11 4 1 false false Wed Oct 22 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Sat Sep 20 00:44:41 -0700 2008 Wed Oct 22 10:49:44 -0700 2008 more...]]> 3 0 false false Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Thu Mar 05 15:16:10 -0800 2009 Thu Mar 05 15:16:10 -0800 2009 more...]]> 1 0 false false Sun Aug 16 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Tue Aug 04 09:26:00 -0700 2009 Sun Aug 16 20:21:50 -0700 2009 1
"What's that? One star? But I thought you liked this trilogy?"

OK, let me explain using a Star Wars metaphor. At the end of the first movie (IV), the plot gets wrapped up in a nice little bow with our heroes getting m...more...]]> 4 0 false false Mon Feb 23 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Sun Feb 22 09:53:33 -0800 2009 Mon Feb 23 14:38:03 -0800 2009

The story is a bit rambly. There's one adventure that could have been lifted from the book entirely and never been missed.
