Although the latter got most of the acclaim, I preferred the former. Overall, both of Terry's first 2 series were superb, with almost any novel worthwhile. I have at least 2 dozen of them, and would gladly buy all the others.adamosfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17388012371752166422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8175911616602946416.post-43743506014216830952011-02-03T17:55:39.511-05:002011-02-03T17:55:39.511-05:00Thank you for the recommendations.

It is atypical of his work, and one i did not like very much.<br /><br />Try his first collection THE PLANET ON THE TABLE for a good cross-section of his fiction. Or the standalones THE WILD SHORE or THE YEARS OF RICE AND SALT. if you like them, then the MARS trilogy is waiting.adamosfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17388012371752166422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8175911616602946416.post-81753852581915509862011-02-02T16:23:52.391-05:002011-02-02T16:23:52.391-05:00I certainly appreciate the honest review, and am g...I certainly appreciate the honest review, and am glad to hear that this style is not one that Robinson repeated. I haven't read any of Robinson's work either, but would like to try the Mars series one day.Carl V. Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15948764216438379394noreply@blogger.com
