Review Of Forty Signs Of Rain by Kim Stanley Robinson

The New York Times reviews Kim Stanley Robinson's Forty Signs of Rain which is the first book of a promised trilogy (not another one). (Zenith Angle by Bruce Sterling is also reviewed in the same column). Although KSR's Mars trilogy gets all the press I'd also recommend his brilliant Orange County trilogy too, which is a trilogy in a thematic sense because all of the books are standalone: The Wild Shore, The Gold Coast and Pacific Edge
