About Kim Stanley Robinson
Kim Stanley Robinson was born in 1952 and, after travelling and working around the world, has now settled in his beloved California. He is widely regarded as the finest science fiction writer working today, noted as much for the verisimilitude of his characters as the meticulously researched hard science basis of his work. He has won just about every major SF award there is to win and is the author of the massively successful and lavishly praised Mars series.

Kim Stanley Robinson recommends
 West of the Sun (1953) Edgar Pangborn "Edgar Pangborn was one of the greatest American science fiction writers, who established along with Bradbury, Sturgeon, Miller and Cordwainer Smith a poetic, beautifully human style od science fiction. Pangborn's evocative landscapes and intense emotional situations combine to give all his novels a mysterious and powerful beauty. He was a true artist and bringing his work back into print in this way is a great moment for American Literature." |  Stained Glass Rain (1993) Bruce Boston "...the greatest living science-fiction poet" |  Coelestis (1993) Paul Park "Compulsive reading." | |
 Flowerdust (1993) (Divine Endurance, book 2) Gwyneth Jones "While 'Flowerdust' is a very exciting action adventure involving drug-running and political turmoil in an exotic, far-future Malaysia, it is also shot through with miracles, giving it a vivid, scary, metaphysical power. Gwyneth Jones is one of the greatest science fiction writers working today" |  Cosmonaut Keep (2000) (Engines of Light, book 1) Ken MacLeod "A Nova has appeared in our sky." |  First Landing (2001) Robert Zubrin "A real page-turner with lots of conflict and excitement." | |
 Resurgence (2002) (Heritage, book 6) Charles Sheffield "Charles Sheffield is one of the very best hard science fiction writers in the world." |  The Mount (2002) Carol Emshwiller "We are all Mounts and so should read this book like an instruction manual that could help save our lives. That it is also a beautiful novel is the usual bonus you get by reading Carol Emshwiller. She aleays writes them that way." |  The Healer (2005) Michael Blumlein "A disturbing, beautiful, unforgettable novel." | |
 The King's Last Song (2006) Geoff Ryman "Another masterpiece by one of the greatest fiction writers of our time." |  Like Mayflies in a Stream (2009) Shauna Roberts "An exciting and very human story, set in a fascinating time and place..." |  The Big Bang Symphony: A Novel of Antarctica (2010) Lucy Jane Bledsoe "A beautiful novel about living in that extreme space, vivid and suspenseful." | |
 Codename Prague (2011) (Scikungfi Trilogy, book 2) D Harlan Wilson "This novel is from the wild edge of science fiction, in the tradition of Philip K. Dick's Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch--fast, smart, funny, and full of a scarily plausible vision of just how weird things could get if we take our biological fate into our own hands." |  The King's Witch (2011) (Soul Thief, book 5) Cecelia Holland "The Crusades, and the charisma of Richard the Lionheart, have never been portrayed so vividly. A truly exciting novel." |
