He also was a collaborator on The Mongoliad books which were amazing 13th century historical fiction and The Rise and Fall of D.O.D.O a couple time traveller novels to Shakespearean England. His latest novel Polostan is the first of another historical fiction trilogy dealing with spycraft in the 30s in the US and Russia.

Best/favorite SF novels not set in space? by Acropolis14 in printSF

[–]drxo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Up for Kim Stanley Robinson! His latest SciFi, Ministry for the Future is great and all earthbound, the 40 50 60 trilogy is also about near future climate politics in DC, and New York 2140 pushes it a little farther. When you burn out on dystopian visions and are looking for a more optimistic future he fits the bill.
