Outlaw of the Outer Stars
Outlaw of the Outer Stars by John C. Wright
The adventures continue!
This one provides more history, giving us enough, in fact, to date and place these stories relative to us, and also hints about the many races of this era (perhaps more explicable to us than to those who talk of them).
It opens with Athos fighting a pirate duel to the death (and a surprising note of pathos at the end). It goes on with Flint's training, and earlier, how he met with the friend he later killed; Lyra as a Shrine Maiden and more; Nightshade facing failure; Athos's earlier romantic days; and more.
