Description
Published as the First Ace Printing in October 1984, Icehenge is one of Kim Stanley Robinson's earliest novels and an outstanding example of thoughtful, literary hard science fiction. Set centuries in the future, the novel follows a mystery surrounding a monumental structure discovered on Pluto that recalls Earth's ancient Stonehenge. Combining archaeology, history, politics, and space exploration, Robinson creates an intellectually rich story that foreshadows many of the themes he would later develop in his award-winning Mars Trilogy. Today, Icehenge is recognized as an important early work by one of modern science fiction's most respected authors and is increasingly sought after by collectors of vintage science fiction paperbacks. Protected in a new archival-quality removable sleeve.
