I've owned this books for many years now and I keep rereading it. The politics of Mars come across as a very interesting way to run a society but Earth isn't neglected either and is presented as having a fascinating life of its own. Both the 'Thinkers' and the nano-tech come to life in a great way in this story. The physics is grand, to boot.
A classic!

This is the fourth and final book in one of Bear's best series; Queen of Angels, Slant, and the short and forgetful Heads. Thankfully Moving Mars provides a suitably spectacular ending to the series, although like the other three, it's set some distance apart from the other books.
The social and political stresses between Earth, Mars, and within Mars itself are all detailed in the usual Bear style, complete with deep characters, scary weapons, and a decent pace that if you're not careful will keep you up late to read "just one more chapter".
Grab it if you can; it's not exactly one of the easiest books to get hold of.

A few years ago I came off Kim Stanley Robinsons Mars Trilogy with an appetite for more Mars. Walking into a bookstore there was a book called Moving Mars by Greg Bear. I knew off him, but had never read any of his work.
I was mesmerized by the far thinking plot of political struggle of the Martians as they try to seperate themselves from the domination of the Earth/Moon system. It actually made for good "continuation" of Robinsons colonization trilogy, because when we meet the Martians they are a well established planet...no longer a sparse colony.
The setting in a nanotech developed future follows freedom fighters from their first college insurrection through their careers as key political figures...and then war begins.
I loved it......great ending with far fetched quantum physical tricks that Bear makes perfectly believable.

Great, even if you don't like sci-fi
Far and away my favourite Greg Bear book, this blends politics, action and suspense perfectly. I don't tend to go for much of this type of thing but can wholeheartedly recommend... Read more
