The 1st and 2nd books followed naive priest Silk as he turned rather clumsily to crime to save his failing abbey and then discovered surprising truths about the gods he worshipped and the massive generation starship in which he lives.

In the 3rd Book of the Long Sun, the city of Viron erupts in a violent political revolution lead by those seeking to make Silk their caldé (kind of a mayor) which is just not on Silk‘s list of things to do.

TobeyTheScavengerMonk Gene Wolfe can do no wrong in my eyes but that eternal sub(heh)plot with Chenille, Auk, Dace, Oreb, Incus, Hammerstone, and Urus in the underground tunnels came close. They were down there for-ev-er. 6y
Kammbia1 I read Nightside of the Long Sun a few years back. I need to read the remaining three books of this series. Thanks for posting as a reminder. 6y

I‘m #starting the 3rd Book of the Long Sun, so I‘ve got my Long Sun / Short Sun reference guide close at hand.

Side note: I‘m super glad I didn‘t go with the Long Sun omnibus editions because then I would have been deprived of these sweet covers!

Reggie I hope you and your family stay safe and dry this weekend my friend. 6y
TobeyTheScavengerMonk Thanks @Reggie Literally saw this while I was at the store stocking up on supplies. We are up near the Virginia line and well away from the coast so hopefully we‘ll make it through without too much damage. 6y
