The Fallen Sun
The Fallen Sun | David R. Grigg
1 post | 1 read
Imagine if there were no day or night, if the sun never set and never moved in the sky.The story is set in a land of eternal light, where night never falls, and the very concept of night and day is absent. Light and warmth are provided by a fixed central Sun, creating areas of permanent light and permanent shadow, surrounded by seemingly infinite outer darkness and cold. It is an extremely patriarchal society, over-ripe for social change. Arranged marriages are the norm among the nobles. Candens is a young nobleman of Clan Bellringer, deeply jealous of his fraternal twin brother Lambent, born shortly before him and thus heir to the clan. As the story opens, Candens and Lambent are in their late teens, and about to be pledged to their future brides. The jealousy between the brothers grows bitter when Candens falls for Lambent's fianc rather than his own. Tension rachets higher when their sister Campana is dramatically kidnapped by a mysterious group called the Daughters of the Dark who claim to be acting to improve the status of women in society.

The Fallen Sun | David R. Grigg
Pickpick

This is an excellent book. It‘s got interesting technology, good world building, a collection of characters that you care about, and some mysteries that keep you reading to the end. (And when you get there you want to start the next instalment straight away, except it hasn‘t been written yet. Hopefully David Grigg is not the new George Martin.)

“The fallen sun” is well worth reading, particularly if you like science-based science fiction.
