Karl Schroeder sez, "This is a link to a teaser image for my upcoming reveal of the new graphic novel version of Sun of Suns, my far-future freefall steampunk pirate adventure. I'll be introducing the project, the artists and company--and the art--this Saturday night at 6:00 p.m. at the SFContario convention in downtown Toronto."

Previewing this Saturday... (Thanks, Karl)

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

    Nice!  The Virga series is far and away my favorite SF series of the last 20 years.  Definitely gonna pick up this graphic novel.  Wish it was a new story though, we’ve been waiting eagerly for book five for quite a while.

    Also: Sun of Suns would make an amazing movie.

      Yeah, I thought the whole “zero g setting” was wildly inventive…plus, Venera Fanning is the best.

    ooh – looks like “Ashes of Candesce” is due out in 2012.  Hurrah! :-D

    Virga is just the sort of setting that would really benefit from being done visually. I’ll have to get this when it comes out.

    I love the dizzying curvilinear perspective.

    Echoing the Virga love. Depicting some of the wild settings ought to be a heck of a chore.
