2047: For the small Pacific Coast community of San Onofre, life in the aftermath of a devastating nuclear attack is a matter of survival, a day-to-day struggle to stay alive. But young Hank Fletcher dreams of the world that might have been, and might yet be--and dreams of playing a crucial role in America's rebirth.
Kim Stanley Robinson's Three Californias trilogy -- The Gold Coast, The Wild Shore and Pacific Edge -- has been observed as "an intriguing work, one that will delight and entertain you, and, most importantly, cause you to stop and think" (The Santa Ana Register). His many other novels include Escape from Kathmandu and Green Mars -- which won the Hugo and Locus Award for Best Novel.
"There's a fresh wind blowing in The Wild Shore." --Ursula K. Le Guin
"Part Huck Finn and part Our Town....A well-written, engaging rite of passage." --Publishers Weekly
"Beautifully written...with a vivid depth rarely encountered in science fiction." --The Washington Post
