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 '€œterraformers.'€ 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. Praise for Blue Mars '€œA breakthrough even from [Robinson'€™s] own consistently high levels of achievement.'€'€”The New York Times Book Review '€œExhilarating . . . a complex and deeply engaging dramatization of humanity'€™s future.'€'€”The Philadelphia Inquirer '€œ[Blue Mars] brings the epic to a rousing conclusion.'€'€”San Francisco Chronicle From the Paperback edition.
