Robinson, Kim Stanley Forty Signs of Rain
Spectra July 26, 2005 0-553-58580-0 / 9780553585803 Paperback Very Good
In this cerebral near-future novel, the first in a trilogy, Robinson (The Y ears of Rice and Salt) explores the events leading up to a worldwide catast rophe brought on by global warming. Each of his various viewpoint character s holds a small piece of the puzzle and can see calamity coming, but is hel pless before the indifference of the politicians and capitalists who run Am erica. Anna Quibler, a National Science Foundation official in Washington, D.C., sifts through dozens of funding proposals each day, while her husband , Charlie, handles life as a stay-at-home dad and telecommutes to his job a s an environmental adviser to a liberal senator. Another scientist, Frank V anderwal, finds his sterile worldview turned upside down after attending a lecture on Buddhist attitudes toward science given by the ambassador from K hembalung, a nation virtually inundated by the rising Indian Ocean. Robinso n's tale lacks the drama and excitement of such other novels dealing with g lobal climate change as Bruce Sterling's Heavy Weather and John Barnes's Mo ther of Storms, but his portrayal of how actual scientists would deal with this disaster-in-the-making is utterly convincing. Robinson clearly cares d eeply about our planet's future, and he makes the reader care as well.

Robinson, Kim Stanley Red Mars
Spectra October 1, 1993 0-553-56073-5 / 9780553560732 Paperback Very Good
A crisp clean softcover, no markings throughout: The first installment in Robinson's ( Blind Geometer ) new trilogy is an action-packed and thoughtful tale of the exploration and settlement of Mars--riven by both personal and ideological conflicts--in the early 21st century. The official leaders of the "first hundred" (initial party of settlers) are American Frank Chalmers and Russian Maya Katarina Toitova, but subgroups break out under the informal guidance of popular favorites like the ebullient Arkady Nikoleyevich Bogdanov, who sets up a base on one of Mars's moons, and the enigmatic Hiroko, who establishes the planet's farm. As the group struggles to secure a foothold on the frigid, barren landscape, friction develops both on Mars and on Earth between those who advocate terraforming, or immediately altering Mars's natural environment to make it more habitable, and those who favor more study of the planet before changes are introduced. The success of the pioneers' venture brings additional settlers to Mars. All too soon, the first hundred find themselves outnumbered by newcomers and caught up in political problems as complex as any found on Earth.

Robinson, Kim Stanley The Martians
Spectra 2000 0-553-57401-9 / 9780553574012 Paperback Very Good
With a Nebula and two Hugos to its credit, Robinson's monumental Mars trilo gy (Red Mars, etc.) is one of the most honored series in the history of sci ence fiction. Having finished the trilogy, however, and gone on to write ye t another major novel, Antarctica, Robinson realized that he simply wasn't done with the red planet. There were important episodes in the lives of his major characters that hadn't made it into the novels. There were alternate possibilities that he still yearned to explore. There were pages of essays , vignettes, fables, poems, and fictional science and history, all demandin g to be written. This collection represents Robinson's further thoughts on Mars. It encompasses a number of new short stories, including at least two set in alternate universes where events have taken place quite differently than in the novels.
