Helliconia is a planet that, due to the massively eccentric orbit
of its own sun around another star, experiences seasons that lasts
eons. Whole civilisations grow in the Spring, flourish in the
Summer and then die in the brutal winters. The human-like
inhabitants have been profoundly changed by their experience of
this harsh cycle. In orbit above the planet a terran mission
struggles to observe and understand the effects on society of such
a massive climatic impact. Massive, thoroughly researched, minutely
organised, full of action, pulp references and deep drama this is a
classic trilogy.
