The Sunless Countries is the fourth novel in the Virga series of hard science fiction space opera adventuresIn 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, 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.As its cold words reach from space to the city walls-'and as outlying towns and travelers' ships start to mysteriously disappear-'only Leal has the courage to try to understand the message thundering from the distance. Even the city's most famous and exotic visitor, the sun lighter and hero named Hayden Griffin, refuses to turn aside from his commission to build a new sun for a foreign nation. He will not become the hero that Leal knows the city needs; so it is up to her to listen, and ultimately reply, to the voice of the worldwasp-'because an astonishing disaster threatens Virga.At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.
