3 California series by KSR

VaporPunk · 06-21-2012, 04:41 AM

Has anybody read this? Cheked my usual sources (friends) and no luck so far. I'm a KSR fan but he can be a bit hit or miss sometimes, loved the Mars Trilogy and The Years of Rice and Salt but also read a couple of so-so books (40 Signs of Rain comes to mind) of his.

Also, is it available in e-book format somewhere? Amazon doesn't have it, at least not for the Euro market. Any help is mucho appreciated.

I'm pretty sure I read them all in paperback way back when. I think I generally liked them, although the quality was variable. They aren't really a trilogy in any normal sense of the word, just three different visions of future Californias. I can't actually remember what the third one is, so I might have missed one.

That is a poor selection on Amazon (UK). I'm surprised.

I wonder if maybe I'm not the only person who has no idea who KSR is. Author abreviations are not always helpful.
