Winner of the Hugo Award for Best Novel * Soon to be a series on Spike TV
One of the most enthralling science fiction sagas ever written, Kim Stanley Robinson's epic trilogy concludes with Blue Mars --a triumph of prodigious research and visionary storytelling.
The red planet is no more. Now green and verdant, Mars has been dramatically altered from a desolate world into one where humans can flourish. The First Hundred settlers are being pulled into a fierce new struggle between the Reds, a group devoted to preserving Mars in its desert state, and the Green "terraformers." Meanwhile, Earth is in peril. A great flood threatens an already overcrowded and polluted planet. With Mars the last hope for the human race, the inhabitants of the red planet are heading toward a population explosion--or interplanetary war.

Add a CommentThe stunning conclusion to the visionary trilogy. Let's your imagination soar as you sail the stormy seas of Mars in the distant future.
This is book 3 of the Mars trillogy.
explaines in detail the politics and organization of a potential Martian government that is radically different than any that earth has yet to see.
Great trilogy set in the future after the colonization of Mars. Great characters and plotting. Well paced and a great read.
