Joshua's review of Sixty Days and Counting
Sixty Days and Counting by Kim Stanley Robinson
This is the last of a trilogy from KSR. I'm not fond of the trilogy as I think the steam is out of the story a lot of times. That was the case here and if not for one really interesting storyline (of 3 or 4 followed in the book), this would have been rated lower. Robinson, who has dabbled in hard sci-fi (the great Mars series), alternative history (his 3 Californias or Days of Salt and Rice) is one of the best sci-fi, futurist writers out there. This is an eco-thriller/warning/harbinger of the course we might be on regarding the environment--just too bad I didn't care about ANY of the characters (aside from the one I mentioned, but Frank was only in half the book).
