The first novel in Kim Stanley Robinson's massively successful and lavishly praised Mars trilogy. 'The ultimate in future history' Daily Mail Mars - the barren, forbidding planet that epitomises mankind's dreams of space conquest. From the first pioneers who looked back at Earth and saw a small blue star, to the first colonists - hand-picked scientists with the skills necessary to create life from cold desert - Red Mars is the story of a new genesis. It is also the story of how Man must struggle against his own self-destructive mechanisms to achieve his dreams: before he even sets foot on the red planet, factions are forming, tensions are rising and violence is brewing... for civilization can be very uncivilized.

Red Mars tells the story of the colonization of Mars. It's the first book in a trilogy - followed by Green Mars and Blue Mars - which follows the fortunes both of the Martian colonization experience, and of the "First One Hundred" - the initial band of settlers who begin the process.
It's hard to imagine a more detailed and compelling book about extraterrestrial settlement and colonization every being written. The book, and the trilogy as a whole, is wonderfully written, with compelling characters (my favourite is Sax Russell), brilliantly imaginative scientific extrapolations, accurate information on the geology and geography of Mars, and sincere and thought-provoking ideas about human society.
