Join us for an encore reading from Kim Stanley Robinson and Terry Bisson reading from their new novels Galileo’s Dream and Fire on the Mountain, respectively.  PM Press has honored these two progressive science fiction authors as part of their Outspoken Authors series, and we are honored to welcome them back to Pegasus for a 2nd reading.

Combining dazzling speculation with a profoundly humanist vision, Kim Stanley Robinson is known as not only the most literary but also the most progressive of today’s top rank SF authors.  His bestselling Mars Trilogy tells the epic story of the future colonization of the red planet, and the revolution that inevitably follows. The Years of Rice and Salt is based on a devastatingly simple idea: If the medieval plague had wiped out all of Europe, what would our world look like today? His latest novel, Galileo’s Dream, is a stunning combination of historical drama and far-flung space opera, in which the ten dimensions of the universe itself are rewoven to ensnare history’s most notorious torturers.

Terry Bisson is a Hugo and Nebula award winning science fiction author. He has also written bios of Mumia Abu-Jamal and Nat Turner. He is the host of a popular San Francisco reading series (SFinSF) and the Editor of PM’s new Outspoken Authors pocketbook series.  His latest novel, Fire on the Mountain is the story of what might have happened if John Brown’s raid on Harper’s Ferry had succeeded—and the Civil War had been started not by the slave owners but the abolitionists.
