About this product

Product Information

With the same unique vision that brought his now classic Mars trilogy to vivid life, bestselling author Kim Stanley Robinson boldly imagines an alternate history of the last seven hundred years. In his grandest work yet, the acclaimed storyteller constructs a world vastly different from the one we know. . . . A thoughtful, magisterial alternate history from one of science fiction's most important writers. -The New York Times Book Review It is the fourteenth century and one of the most apocalyptic events in human history is set to occur-the coming of the Black Death. History teaches us that a third of Europe's population was destroyed. But what if the plague had killed 99 percent of the population instead? How would the world have changed? This is a look at the history that could have been-one that stretches across centuries, sees dynasties and nations rise and crumble, and spans horrible famine and magnificent innovation. Through the eyes of soldiers and kings, explorers and philosophers, slaves and scholars, Robinson navigates a world where Buddhism and Islam are the most influential and practiced religions, while Christianity is merely a historical footnote. Probing the most profound questions as only he can, Robinson shines his extraordinary light on the place of religion, culture, power-and even love-in this bold New World. Exceptional and engrossing. -New York Post Ambitious . . . ingenious. -Newsday

The Years of Rice and Salt
This might be the finest novel by Kim Stanley Robinson. What a dream, to have a thousand years of life, with the ones we love, to get it right.

Good book
This is a good book its a historical fiction if 99% of europe was killed in the black death. How the story evolved from that was very good and it was respectable to the religions it covered in it. by far one of my favorite books.
