inner of the Nebula Award for Best Novel • Soon to be a series on Spike TV
Discover
the novel that launched one of science fiction’s most beloved,
acclaimed, and awarded trilogies: Kim Stanley Robinson’s masterly
near-future chronicle of interplanetary colonization.
For
centuries, the barren, desolate landscape of the red planet has beckoned
to humankind. Now a group of one hundred colonists begins a mission
whose ultimate goal is to transform Mars into a more Earthlike planet.
They will place giant satellite mirrors in Martian orbit to reflect
light to the surface. Black dust sprinkled on the polar caps will
capture warmth and melt the ice. And massive tunnels drilled into the
mantle will create stupendous vents of hot gases. But despite these
ambitious goals, there are some who would fight to the death to prevent
Mars from ever being changed.
