Review Quotes:
"Outrageously brilliant and absolutely not to be missed." --Kirkus Reviews, starred review on Sun of Suns, a Kirkus pick for the Best of 2006
"A classic space opera...full of feudal castles and wooden ships, ancient compasses, old revolvers, and frothing beakers on one hand, and flying bikes, space travel, and cyborgs on the other." --Toronto Globe and Mail on Sun of Suns "I loved it. It never slowed down. The background is fascinating and the characters held my attention. It reminded me a little of The Integral Trees, with technology a little more advanced." --Larry Niven on Sun of Suns "Karl Schroeder...is proving to be one of our most ingenious devisers of exotic, fantastic settings as well as a spinner of ripping yarns.... Schroeder's world-building, storytelling, and character-drawing chops seem strong enough to have given even Known Space run for its money." --Locus on Queen of Candesce
