Winner of the John W. Campbell Memorial Award for Best Science Fiction Novel
Nominated for the Locus Award for Best Science Fiction Novel
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.

Editorial Reviews
“Twenty-five years after its print publication, Pacific Edge finally has an audio
edition, thanks to Stefan Rudnicki and Skyboat Media…No other book in my
collection has the power to uplift me with hope and optimism like this one…Pacific
Edge is an inspiring story about inspiring stories. It’s even more relevant now
than it was a quarter century ago.” —Cory Doctorow
“Through a blend of dirt-under-fingernails
naturalism and lyrical magical realism, Robinson invites us to share his
characters’ 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.” —New York Times Book Review
“An outstanding achievement…Robinson’s writing
ranks in the highest levels of the genre. The book generates a soaring optimism.” —Publishers Weekly
