@@LiminalSpaces03 I believe bookoutlet.com has copies for under $10. They sell remainders. Just checked. Not at this time but worth checking in the future.
As a California native myself, this book sounds spot on for anyone who lives in the Golden State. I'll definitely have to find a copy. And yes, many Californians have speculated on California secession.
Great review ! I’d not not heard of this trilogy it sounds quite intriguing i do like a good post apocalyptic tale . I shall keep a lookout for at least The wild shore.
FYI- "Make America Great Again" was not only one of the slogans that catapulted Reagan to office, but it was used at least twice before in American history as well. What would Santayana say?
also, where might the sequels take this premise? you have to wonder. and also wonder if they explain more about what happened because it seems so odd the greatest superpower the world has known let itself be destroyed. and no russians, chinese or others lurking around? or are they controlling attempts at recovery from above? its a strange one, but thought provoking. 🎉
@@meesalikeu My understanding from the next two novels’ blurbs is that these are new takes, alternate universes of the geographically same area, Orange county. I don’t know if there are any unifying themes.
@@vintagesfoh wow, thats actually even more interesting than just going along, explaining everything and battling off the japanese or whatever. hmm, might have to look for one of these thx. 🎉
I've had the same edition on my shelf for awhile. I'll have to dust it off soon
This one's going on my list. Thanks for the review, Richard!
This story sounds interesting Richard. Thank for the interesting review!

This one sounds interesting! Going to keep my eye out for that TOR essentials copy! Thanks, Richard!

Slogan...oh boy! Wow, what a coincidence. That's pretty amazing and great review as always Richard!

@@mistymarshall5438 I’m sure you’ll appreciate the geography of the novel much better than this Canadian who has visited a couple times.
@@vintagesf I'd finished Robinson's Mars Trilogy this year and still wonder why it hasn't been adapted as a streaming/TV series yet. 🤔

What would Santayana say?
@@salty-walt Knew one of my viewers would have the answer. Thanks Walt!
I have read the trilogy a few years ago. I liked the Martian trilogy better.
looks like ursula gave it a thumbs up and no wonder given its pastoral, community, political focus. 🎉
