About this product

Product Information

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

  • Too american.

    DNF, barely started. The author is american and doesn't it show: on roughly page 3 we are EXPECTED to know what a 'midwestern' dialect is. We the readers are EXPECTED to be american bevause the whole world is american. Extraordinary arrogance. This is even hinted at around the same section. I have no idea what a midwestern dialect sounds like. Bruce Willis? Oliver Hardy? Will Smith? Buster Keaton? But since america is the whole world I am EXPECTED to understand intuitively, as I am EXPECTED to know of some minor american geographical feature. Grow up, Mr Robinson.

  • Political and long drawn.

    A lot of technical jargon which I found difficult to grasp.

  • An immersive and inspiring future history

    Epic, classic work of 'hard' sci-fi (lots of plausible scientific detail). A little dated, but sci-fi always tells you a lot about the time when it was written. A large and varied cast of characters to get quite attached to. I read it a long time ago – I've bought it now as a gift for a friend to share the story with her.

  • Optimistic.

    I haven't finished this book yet, but here are a few thoughts. From the first moment, character development is off and running. KSR's political mapping of Mars reflects a mainstream, educated Western understanding of Earth c.1990, with all the limitations that implies, e.g. the Politics 101-type presentation of "cultural imperialism" - but we're still talking leagues better than the Tom Clancy cut-and-paste bad guys approach. The bad guys in Red Mars are not two-dimensional. They are motivated by thought, and are often quirky of character. The writing style is populist, low-brow, but that makes for a speedy pacing that often SF authors like Kevin J. Anderson lack. Overall, I'm looking forward to the rest.
