Praise for the Novels of Kim Stanley Robinson:

"Robinson's...scientific homework [is] impeccable, and his handling of a large cast is a model to many avowed saga mongers." --- Booklist on Red Mars

"The author succeeds...in his fascinating speculation about our ecological future, and the steps we could be taking to repair the world for future generations. " --- Kirkus on Fifty Degrees Below

"[Robinson] has created a novel of ideas of the best sort, filled to overflowing with philosophy, theology and scientific theory." --- Publishers Weekly on The Years of Rice and Salt
