Summary
The award-winning author of the Mars trilogy takes listeners to the last pure wilderness on Earth in this powerful and majestic novel.
It is a stark and inhospitable place, where the landscape itself poses a challenge to survival, yet its strange, silent beauty has long fascinated scientists and adventurers.
Now Antarctica faces an uncertain future. The international treaty which protects the continent is about to dissolve, clearing the way for Antarctica’s resources to be plundered, its eerie beauty to be savaged. As politicians wrangle over its fate, major corporations begin probing for its hidden riches. Adventurers come, as they have for more than a century, seeking the wild, untamed land even as they endanger it with their ever-growing numbers. And radical environmentalists carry out a covert campaign of sabotage to reclaim the land from those who would destroy it for profit. All who come here have their own agenda, and all will fight to ensure their vision of the future for the remote and awe-inspiring world at the South Pole.

Excellent
Really enjoyed the story, and found the narration dynamic and energetic. I think it's a shame more Kim Stanley Robinson books aren't read by the same narrator.

Good book, jarring reading
The reader has a bad habit of doing (bad) accents that stereotype many of the people. He also mispronounces some words that are very frustrating

An excellent story ruined
The storyline develops really nicely from the start with Robinsons usual attention to each of the characters.
Unfortunately the narrator is simply quite appalling.
Why the childishly silly voices? Does he really think that Robinson intends his characters and his narrative to come across like that?
I’ve given up and I’m going to get the e-book version and listen to it with VoiceOver.

Tedious
Probably a good story if it wasn't so long, and if a better narrator was involved. As it is it's rather dull. Disappointing.
