The Memory of Whiteness by Kim Stanley Robinson

A timely reissue of one of Robinson’s most lyrical sf works. In the 33rd century humanity is scattered among the planets of the Solar System. Millions of lives depend on the revolutionary physics of Arthur Holywelkin; millions of hearts are moved by the music created by the strange, eerie instrument he built in the last years of his life: the Orchestra. Johannes Wright is the Ninth – and youngest – Master of the Orchestra. But as he sets out on his first Grand Tour of the Solar System, unseen foes are at his heels, ready to reveal all but the meaning of their enmity. In confronting them, Wright must redefine the Universe – for himself and all humanity.

INTERZONE

Kim Stanley Robinson was born in 1952. After travelling and working around the world, he 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 science underpinning most 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.
