The Best of Kim Stanley Robinson

Night Shade Books presents THE BEST OF KIM STANLEY ROBINSON, a retrospective overview of this Hugo winning author's best short fiction, including a brand new piece of short fiction - his first full-length story in over a decade. Kim Stanley Robinson has been an ongoing force in the Science Fiction genre for over twenty years, with his novels (Year's of Rice and Salt, Forty Signs of Rain) crossing over to the mainstream, and routinely appearing on the NY times best sellers list. During the 80s and early nineties, his short fiction continued to push the boundaries of science fiction, defining the science-focused side of the science fiction genre. Award winning editor Jonathan Strahan worked with Kim Stanley Robinson to select the stories that make up this landmark volume. In addition to these reprints, The Best of Kim Stanley Robinson features a brand new short story "The Timpanist of the Berlin Philharmonic, 1942."
