Eventually i understood why this departure from reality was necessary.
this stood out to me because everything else was so researched and described. KSR does not understand human beings and our motivations. I did however stop caring for the few characters I thought were okay. it was evident from the beginning of the series where KSR was taking us. The series started out with KSR in the seat of Ben Bova.but it tragically ended with KSR happily taking up his intended seat as Joseph Stalin. There is that.īrilliant about everything but human beings. I don't agree that most of the personnel selected to establish a Mars colony would be terrorist minded and anti human in environmental policy. The technology is done very well for 90's writing doesn't feel unimaginative like other SciFi written in earlier decades. It is a well written series and narrated well. I single out Ann as she is my least favorite. Killing thousands of humans so that the rocky landscape can remain? Not buying it. Ann would've been assassinated like 80 years prior to the end of the story.
The unbelievable thing is that these militant terrorists/scientists are willing to let the most caustic and opposition characters live on. The author then creates a way for these characters to continue living on and on to pollute Mars for all future Earth immigrants. The characters were a bit old to even start the journey (50's) in my opinion. The original 100 should have died in the first or second novel. Third book just gave me more and more of what I didn't want. Richard Ferrone narrates this sweeping epic with engaging personality and finesse. Maybe desperate enough to wage interplanetary war for the chance to begin again.īlue Mars is a complex and completely enthralling saga - as convincing and lushly imagined a future as anyone has ever dreamed. The people of Earth are getting desperate. A natural disaster threatens to drown the already far too polluted and overcrowded planet.
Meanwhile, across the void of space, old, tired Earth spins on its decaying axis. But idyllic Mars is in a state of political upheaval, plagued by violent conflict between those who would keep the planet green and those who want to return it to a desert world. The once red and barren terrain of Mars is now green and rich with life - plant, animal, and human. Blue Mars is the final volume in Robinson's seminal science-fiction trilogy, which began with Red Mars and continues with Green Mars.
Acclaimed visionary author Kim Stanley Robinson is a Hugo and Nebula Award-winner.
