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.

Galileo’s Dream (Paperback – August 2010)
Read an Extract from Galileo’s Dream
In Late Renaissance Italy the great scientist Galileo creates a powerful new telescope to explore the universe.
But one night a stranger presents a different kind of telescope for Galileo to peer through, and Galileo himself is not sure if he is in a dream, an enchantment, a vision, or something yet undefined.
Galileo will soon find himself straddling two worlds: the medieval and the modern. By day his life unfurls in the early seventeenth-century Italy, by night he is transported through dimensions of time and space no other man of his time could comprehend.
This sumptuous and suspenseful novel brings to us Galileo as we have always wanted to know him.
