Voted one of the best science fiction novels of the year in the 1985 Locus Poll, Icehenge is an early novel by Kim Stanley Robinson (author of the trilogy comprising Red Mars, Green Mars, and Blue Mars) and takes place in the same universe. The story is part mystery and part psychological drama, divided into three distinct sections.

Each of the novels in Robinson's "Three Californias" trilogy uses the same setting--Orange County in Southern California--but each envisions a radically different future. Pacific Edge shows readers a place transformed by the "green" politics of environmental awareness--"a bittersweet utopia that may shame you into entertaining new hope for the future" (New York Times Book Review).

A second collection from Robinson (The Planet on the Table, 1986), this one comprising 14 tales (plus an unclassifiable fictional essay), 1986-91, whose general theme is the mutability of history. Two yarns stand out: the grim, horrifying picture of near- future Washington, D.C. (``Down and Out in the Year 2000'') and ``The Lunatics,'' whose brutalized, brainwashed miners in the moon make an unusual bid for freedom. Also noteworthy: a well-handled but far-from-original reality-becomes-dream/dream-becomes-reality yarn; a historian ponders the 20th century, seeking a source of optimism; and the essay, which considers, with reference to the atomic bombing of Japan, quantum physics, chaos theory, and whether history is inevitable. The remainder offer rather bland variations on: decadence, alternate histories, magic realism, inner being, glaciation, apartheid, and Zurich. Beautifully, often lyrically presented; descriptive rather than prescriptive; often intelligent--but what's missing is inner fire, undercurrents, a sign that Robinson is doing something more than merely holding up a cleverly angled mirror. -- Copyright 1991, Kirkus Associates, LP.
