North America, 2065. In a world that has rediscovered harmony with nature, the village of El Modena, California, is an ecotopia in the making. Kevin Claiborne, a young builder who has grown up in this "green" world, now finds himself caught up in the struggle to preserve his community's idyllic way of life from the resurgent forces of greed and exploitation.

The final volume in Kim Stanley Robinson's Three Californias triptych, Pacific Edge is a brilliant work of science fiction and an outstanding literary achievement.

Kim Stanley Robinson is a New York Times bestseller and winner of the Hugo, Nebula, and Locus awards. He is the author of more than twenty books, including the bestselling Mars trilogy and the critically acclaimed Forty Signs of Rain, The Years of Rice and Salt and 2312. In 2008, he was named a "Hero of the Environment" by Time magazine, and he works with the Sierra Nevada Research Institute. He lives in Davis, California.

Stefan Rudnicki is an avid audiobook narrator, receiving numerous Earphones Awards from AudioFile magazine. He is also a Grammy-winning audiobook producer.

Reviews

โ€œTwenty-five years after its print publication, Pacific Edge finally has an audio edition, thanks to Stefan Rudnicki and Skyboat Mediaโ€ฆNo other book in my collection has the power to uplift me with hope and optimism like this oneโ€ฆPacific Edge is an inspiring story about inspiring stories. Itโ€™s even more relevant now than it was a quarter century ago.โ€

โ€œThrough a blend of dirt-under-fingernails naturalism and lyrical magical realism, Robinson invites us to share his charactersโ€™ intensely personal, intensely loyal attachment to what they have. The result is a bittersweet utopia that may shame you into entertaining new hope for the future.โ€

โ€œAn outstanding achievementโ€ฆRobinsonโ€™s writing ranks in the highest levels of the genre. The book generates a soaring optimism.โ€
