Synopses & Reviews
The award winning writer's first Martian novel
Kim Stanley Robinson's astonishing Mars sequence won the Nebula Award for the first volume, and the Hugo Award for both the second and third volumes. Arthur C. Clarke called these novels "staggering...required for the colonists of the next century".
Icehenge was Robinson's first novel set on Mars.
"Icehenge is a quiet, touching, unforgettable story about three people.... It is a rare novel that succeeds in taking the reader across the boundary from the real world to the imagined one; that rouses us to care about the lives and loves of its characters as much as we care about our own. Icehenge is such a novel". -- Baltimore Sun
Review
"Unforgettable." --
The Baltimore Sun"In a genre not often distinguished by strong characterization, Robinson is a welcome exception. Yet even the memorable community of his The Wild Shore did not prepare us for this brilliant triptych in which the monolithic artifact of the title and the events surrounding it are described and examined from widely different points of view. The distinct, personal voices of the narratives, as they construct and deconstruct their elegant theories, are a pleasure rare in SF." --Publishers Weekly
Synopsis
An early novel from Science Fiction legend Kim Stanley Robinson, now available for the first time in decades: Icehenge.
On the North Pole of Pluto there stands an enigma: a huge circle of standing blocks of ice, built on the pattern of Earth's Stonehenge--but ten times the size, standing alone at the farthest reaches of the Solar System. What is it? Who came there to build it?
The secret lies, perhaps, in the chaotic decades of the Martian Revolution, in the lost memories of those who have lived for centuries.
