From Barnes & NobleThis novel by Kim Stanley Robinson confirms Time magazine's judgment that he is "perhaps the foremost practitioner of literary utopias." But Robinson writes knowing that sometimes the idyllic future brings an unwelcome guest: In 2312, a technologically advanced civilization must confront a crisis that could endanger all its far-flung planets. In the past, Swan Er Hong has designed worlds; now she must destroy them. Now in mass-market paperback and NOOK Book. (P.S. Robinson is a writer genre readers should know. The author of the acclaimed Mars trilogy has won praise for impeccable scientific homework and his handling of a large cast of characters.)
Publishers WeeklyRobinson (Galileo's Dream) delivers a challenging, compelling masterpiece of science fiction.
