and Fool’s Gold fantasy trilogy. One of her top ten tales of adventure, as shared at the Guardian:Antarctica by Kim Stanley RobinsonRead about another entry on the list.
Robinson is better known for his massive future history of the terraforming and colonisation of Mars but this eco-thriller is a tremendous rollercoaster ride set in this world's last wilderness, a mineral-rich area targeted by multinational oil companies, conniving governments and the tourist industry. Robinson creates brilliant people who carry his idea-packed narratives effortlessly and entertainingly, all the while prompting you to think pretty hard about the state of the world today and how we may preserve it.
