New Worlds Science Fiction: The Waiting Grounds

The Mars Trilogy By Kim Stanley Robinson A set of first editions, first impressions of the three books comprising 'The Mars Trilogy'. 'Red Mars' received the BSFA Award in 1992 and the Nebula Award for Best Novel in 1993. 'Green Mars' won the Hugo Award for Best Novel and the Locus Award for Best Science Fiction Novel in 1994, and 'Blue Mars' was given the Hugo and Locus Awards in 1997. 'The Mars Trilogy' explores humanity's ambitious project to terraform Mars. Spanning nearly two centuries, the series contrasts a utopian vision of Martian society marked by egalitarianism and scientific innovation with a dystopian Earth grappling with overpopulation and environmental collapse. Publisher's original cloth. Some toning to edges of 'Blue Mars' with a few faint spots to the top edge of 'Green Mars', else near fine. A little edge wear to the bottom edge of the original and unclipped dust jackets, with a very small nick to the bottom edge of 'Red Mars', otherwise near fine.

Mockingbird By Walter Tevis First UK edition, first impression. Nominated for a Nebula Award in 1980. Original brown cloth with letting to spine in gilt. Some dustiness to top edge, but otherwise excellent, in the original dust jacket with a couple of tears to edges that have caused a couple of associated creases to bottom edge of upper panel and top of lower panel; a little abrasion to rear flap fold and general moderate edge wear in places, otherwise very good.
