A new world. A grand vision. A battle for the future of Mars.
For centuries, humanity has dreamed of setting foot on the Red Planet. Now, that dream is reality. A hundred scientists and engineers embark on the greatest endeavor in human history: the colonization and transformation of Mars. Massive mirrors will reflect sunlight to warm its frozen surface. The ice caps will be melted. The thin air thickened. Life will take root where none has before.
But not everyone agrees with this vision. As Mars begins to change, factions form—some striving for progress, others willing to kill to keep the planet untouched.
Winner of the Nebula Award for Best Novel, Red Mars is the masterful beginning of Kim Stanley Robinson’s groundbreaking trilogy—a breathtaking vision of humanity’s future among the stars.
