From that day forward history is shaped by the East instead of the West: the whole sweep of civilization unfolds along a different path. They fill a world without the ancestors of Columbus and Shakespeare, Newton and Einstein and Hitler. Into this empty land pour merchants, warlords and refugees - from China, India and the Arab nations. People lie dead in villages and in the streets of towns. A vanguard of the Mongol horde rides west across the steppes into an eerily silent world. 1st printing of 2002 edition:- Synopsis: Imagine a world without Europe. © 2002: A stand-alone novel by Kim Stanley Robinson.
