Kim Stanley Robinson was born in 1952 in Waukegan, Illinois, but moved to Southern California as a child. In 1974 he earned a B.A. in Literature from the University of California, San Diego. In 1975 he earned an M.A. in English from Boston University. In 1982 he earned a Ph.D. in English from the University of California, San Diego. His doctoral thesis, THE NOVELS OF PHILIP K. DICK, was published in 1984. In 1982, Robinson and Lisa Howland Nowell, an environmental chemist, were married. They have two sons and the family lives in Davis, California. He has indicated that he is an avid backpacker with the Sierra Nevada serving as his home range and that it is a big influence on how he sees the world. Many of his novels and stories have ecological, cultural, and political themes running through them and often feature scientists as heroes. He is one of the very few genre writers to have won the Hugo Award, the Nebula Award, and the World Fantasy Award. “[Kim Stanley Robinson’s work is] the gold-standard of realistic, and highly literary, science fiction writing,” according to The Atlantic. [Robinson is] generally acknowledged as one of the greatest living science fiction writers,” according to the New Yorker. In 2009, Robinson was an instructor at the world famous Clarion Writers Workshop. In 2010, he was the Guest of Honor at the 68th World Science Fiction Convention, held in Melbourne, Australia. In April, 2011, Robinson presented at the second annual Rethinking Capitalism Conference, held at the University of California, Santa Cruz. Among other points that he made, he addressed the cyclical nature of capitalism. He has also spoken and written, using his stories and novels, how nature and culture continuously reformulate each other, what the impact of climate change will be on the world and the population of the world, and about re-engineering on a global scale, in terms of social and natural conditions. Kim Stanley Robinson is the author of such great and famous books as THE WILD SHORE, THE GOLD COAST, PACIFIC EDGE, RED MARS (offered here), GREEN MARS (offered here), BLUE MARS (offered here), THE MARTIANS, FORTY SIGNS OF RAIN, FIFTY DEGREES BELOW, SIXTY DAYS AND COUNTING, ICEHENGE, THE MEMORY OF WHITENESS, ANTARCTICA, THE YEARS OF RICE AND SALT, THE PLANET ON THE TABLE, ESCAPE FROM KATHMANDU, REMAKING HISTORY, 2312, and a number of others.

Clearly Kim Stanley Robinson is one of the best, most famous, most important, and most collectible science fiction writers in the world. From the dust jacket of RED MARS: “ . . . In his most ambitious project to date, award-winning author Kim Stanley Robinson utilizes years of research and cutting-edge science in the first of three novels that will chronicle the colonization of Mars . . . RED MARS . . . For eons, sandstorms have swept the barren, desolate landscape of the red planet. For centuries, Mars has beckoned to mankind to come and conquer its hostile climate. Now, in the year 2026, a group of one hundred colonists is about to fulfill that destiny . . . [the] ultimate goal is the terraforming of Mars. For some, Mars will become a passion driving them to daring acts of courage and madness; for others it offers an opportunity to strip the planet of its riches. And for the genetic 'alchemists,' Mars presents a chance to create a biomedical miracle, a breakthrough that could change all we know about life . . . and death . . . The colonists place giant satellite mirrors in Martian orbit to reflect light to the planet's surface. Black dust sprinkled on the polar caps will capture warmth and melt the ice. And massive tunnels, kilometers in depth, will be drilled into the Martian mantle to create stupendous vents of hot gases. Against this backdrop of epic upheaval, rivalries, loves, and friendships will form and fall to pieces -- for there are those who will fight to the death to prevent Mars from ever being changed . . . Brilliantly imagined, breathtaking in scope and ingenuity, RED MARS is an epic scientific saga, chronicling the next step in human evolution . . . RED MARS shows us a future that awes with complexity and inspires . . . " From the rear panel of the dust jacket: "THE BEST TALE OF SPACE COLONIZATION . . . BY ONE OF THE BEST WRITERS OF OUR TIME." -- David Brin "A SPLENDID BOOK. THE SCIENTIFIC BACKGROUND AND TECHNOLOGICAL DETAILS ARE UTTERLY CONVINCING . . ., GIVES A SENSE OF TIME PASSING AND HISTORY HAPPENING . . .

RED MARS was a science fiction bestseller, a Hugo Award nominee for best novel, and a critical triumph. Thrilling readers with its drama, realism, and provocative ideas, RED MARS has become an instant classic of the genre. Now Kim Stanley Robinson returns with the eagerly awaited second novel in his epic saga of the colonization of Mars, a thrilling and timeless tale of humanity struggling to survive at its farthest frontier . . . GREEN MARS . . . Nearly a generation has passed since the first pioneers landed, but the transformation of Mars to an Earth-like planet haw just begun . . . their plan to transform of Mars is opposed by those determined to preserve the hostile and barren beauty of Mars . . . passions, rivalries, and friendships will explode . . .

Kim Stanley Robinsons enthralling Mars trilogy ranks with DUNE and the FOUNDATION trilogy as a classic of the genre. A bioecology visionary, Robinson has put humankind's dreams of colonizing space into tales so plausible and scientifically sound that they read like future history. Now BLUE MARS joins the critically acclaimed GREEN MARS, winner of the Hugo Award for Best Novel, and RED MARS, winner of the Nebula Award for Best Novel, to complete one of the greatest science fiction sagas ever written . . . BLUE MARS . . . The red planet is no more. Now green and verdant, covered by seas and settlements, Mars has been dramatically terraformed from a desert world into one where humans can flourish. All that remains is to finish creating a breathable atmosphere and an ecosystem full of wondrous genetically engineered Martian creatures . . . But as Mars reaches its final transformation, Earth is in peril. The Great Flood threatens an already overpopulated and polluted planet, and Mars faces a population explosion or an interplanetary war . . . the human drama at the center of this breathtaking epic explodes in political upheaval . . . BLUE MARS meshes high adventure with state-of-the-art science and provocative thoughts about the nature of man, politics, and war . . . engrossing reading . . . awesome speculation about our future . . .

I describe all faults. If you sell books on EBAY (or anywhere else), it is de rigueur not to list 1st printings of book club books as 1st editions (unless they ARE the 1st edition, which occurs only occasionally); also, a 1st edition, 7th printing, is not a 1st edition. Ex-library books must be noted as such since generally they are of little value to the collector of 1st editions. Condition is also very important to those collectors. Books and dust jackets must be described in detail. In other words, it is incumbent upon the SELLER to know what is and is not a 1st edition. Mistakes can be made (and corrected), of course, but if you DON'T KNOW, don't try to sell a book as a 1st edition. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ CONDITION: RED MARS is a FINE book in a FINE dust jacket. The book is tight and square in its black quarter cloth and red boards binding with bright red lettering on the spine of the book. There is no writing in the book (except for Kim Stanley Robinson’s autograph); no bookplates; no remainder marks. The dust jacket is not price-clipped and shows the correct price of $22.95. The dust jacket has no chips, no tears, and no wrinkles. The great and famous dust jacket artwork is by Don Dixon. GREEN MARS: a FINE book in a FINE dust jacket.

I am continuing to list some of my best books (especially science fiction, fantasy, and horror 1st editions) on EBAY not so much as auctions (due to the fact that EBAY charges quite a bit to list items for reserve auctions), but more along the lines of listing my "catalogue" of books that I have for sale. I'm not going to "give" these books away, but my opening bids and Buy-It-Now prices are usually a fair amount below market value. Furthermore, however, for certain scarce books in great condition, I do expect to get close to what they're worth. Stay with me; I always have a number of important, collectible, cornerstone science fiction, fantasy, and horror 1st editions listed. Many thanks! All items are being offered for sale elsewhere; I reserve the right to end this listing early if this item sells elsewhere. __________________________________________________________________________________ Note: I own the following two books: Leckie, Anne.

ANCILLARY SWORD. Subterranean Press, 2015. 1st limited edition. (#2/500). I would like to round out this set by acquiring the #2/500 copy of ANCILLARY SWORD.
