Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
The final volume of a trilogy that began with Red Mars and continued with Green Mars, Blue Mars completes the story of the "First Hundred", a pioneering group of explorers who have overseen a terraforming project that transformed Mars from a lifeless planet into a world habitable by humans. An anti-ageing breakthrough has kept the First Hundred alive for three centuries and in that time, their motives, desires and passions have evolved in ways that parallel the changes on Mars itself. Conceptually complex and daring, the publication of Blue Mars marks the completion of a modern science fiction masterpiece. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.
Synopsis
Mars is politically independent. A brave and buzzing new world, fully terraformed with genetically engineered plants and animals. Earth has grown too much. Chronic overpopulation, scarce resources. For too many Terrans, Mars is a mocking utopia. A dream to live for, fight for, perhaps even die for.
