Blue Mars

The final novel in Kim Stanley Robinson's massively successful and lavishly praised Mars trilogy.

The battle for Mars has begun... As earth cracks under the pressure of overpopulation, with too few resources, Mars stands as an Eden to be envied. Rifts have formed between the two most powerful factions on the planet's surface: the Reds who wish to keep the planet in its original, wilderness state, and the Greens who want to further terraform the planet for human habitation.

The survivors of the First Hundred colonists, among them Michel, Nadia, Maya, Sax, and Ann, have achieved their goal of political independence. Their stories are the stuff of legend to a Martian youth determined to preserve their hard-won gain. But not a civil war threatens to destroy all that humanity has done to create a blue and perfect Mars.
