Forty Signs of Rain - Kim Stanley Robinson - how come amazon know about these things first? there is nothing listed on the publisher's website for this, and yet there it is. sounds more like the kind of thing i am looking for from KSR, like it will fit in nicely with the likes of Antarctica which was a great book. i will still finish The Years Of Rice And Salt, but it really doesn't have the same impact as his classics. this new book looks to be the first in a new trilogy, mixing politics with eco-issues and no doubt a certain level of science.
