SF Signal: Karrrrrl Schroeder And The Space Pirates

Karrrrrl Schroeder And The Space Pirates

SciFi Wire has an entry today about Karl Schroeder's newest book, Lady of Mazes and how its actually a warning about how technology will disrupt the political process in today's society. I say, "Whatever." (ok, not really. That's all well and good and interesting but I'm not in a political SF frame of mind right now...)

The real nugget in this story is at the bottom. It seems Mr. Schroeder is at work on a new story, Sun of Suns, which he calls a Newtonian Space Opera, with wooden ships, pirates and swordfights, but set in a world without gravity. I say, "Arr me harty, bring it on!".

Karl was interviewed by the guys at the Dragon Page this week and he discusses Lady of Mazes and his new book. It was an interesting listen and may give some additional insight on this book and the Sun of Suns (arrr, ya skurvy dogs.)
