Galileos Dream by Kim Stanley Robinson

In a novel of stunning dimensions, the acclaimed author of the groundbreaking MARS trilogy brings us the story of the incredible life and death of Galileo, the First Scientist.

`One of the finest working novelists in any genre’
GUARDIAN

'If I had to choose one writer whose work will set the standard for science fiction in the future, it would be Kim Stanley Robinson’
NEW YORK TIMES

Praise for GALILEO’S DREAM:

`Thought-provoking and moving in equal measureRobinson captures the joy of scientific discovery better than anyone else working today … Elegant, charming, funny and profound’
GUARDIAN

'A brilliant work of imagination, drawing together the “two cultures” in a harmonious marriage of science and art'
THE TIMES

`A triumph, with Robinson's gifts for characterisation and world-building firmly to the fore. His Galileo is wonderful: brilliant, irascible, sometimes hateful, and always fascinating. The finale is both stirring and melancholic, and a fitting tribute to science's most famous iconoclast’
NEW SCIENTIST

Kim Stanley Robinson was born in 1952 and, after travelling and working around the world, has now
settled in his beloved California. He is widely regarded as the finest science fiction writer working today, noted as much for the verisimilitude of his characters as the meticulously researched hard science basis of his work. He has won just about every major sf award there is to win and is the author of the massively successful and lavishly praised Mars series.
