Kim St. Robinson Boeken

The brand new anthology from multi-award winning editor Jonathan Strahan.

As Earth cracks under the pressure of overpopulation, with too few resources, Mars stands as an Eden to be envied. Rifts have formed between the two most powerful factions on the planet's surface: the Reds and the Greens. But now a civil war threatens to destroy all that humanity has done to create a blue and perfect Mars.

The First Hundred - the planet's human pioneers - landed on Mars a generation ago. As humanity's dream of a new world falters in the wake of a failed revolution, those first colonists have scattered or died. The first generation of children born on Mars, along with the survivors of the original settlers, wrestle for control.

GREEN EARTH takes the stories first told in FORTY SIGNS OF RAIN, FIFTY DEGREES BELOW and SIXTY DAYS AND COUNTING and combines them in a fully updated, compressed and compelling single volume.

At the heart of a provocative narrative that stretches from Renaissance Italy to the moons of Jupiter is the father of modern science: Galileo Galilei.To the inhabitants of the Jovian moons, Galileo is a revered figure whose actions will influence the subsequent history of the human race. From the summit of their distant future, a charismatic renegade named Ganymede travels to the past to bring Galileo forward in an attempt to alter history and ensure the ascendancy of science over religion. And if that means Galileo must be burned at the stake, so be it.From Galileo's heresy trial to the politics of far-future Jupiter, Kim Stanley Robinson illuminates the parallels between a distant past and an even more remote future—in the process celebrating the human spirit and calling into question the convenient truths of our own moment in time.

Wir schreiben das Jahr 2312: Die Menschheit hat Teile des Sonnensystems bevölkert, hat Habitate auf Asteroiden errichtet, hat auf dem Merkur eine sich bewegende Stadt gebaut. Und sie hat auf all diesen neuen Welten neue Gesellschaftsformen ausprobiert, die miteinander im Konflikt stehen. Jetzt steht die menschliche Zivilisation vor ihrer größten Herausforderung - denn so weit sich die Menschheit auch entwickelt hat, so tief kann ihr Sturz sein. Ein Mord geschieht auf dem Merkur, und eine junge Frau, die bislang Schöpferin von Städten war, gerät immer tiefer in ein Komplott, das nur auf eines abzielt: Zerstörung.
