In his state-of-the-art epic trilogy about Mars, Robinson writes in a densely structured, multi-leveled style to construct an entire culture and civilization much reminiscent of Frank Herbert's Dune. This story of Earth emigration and colonization is a powerful one, destined to be viewed as a classic.
The first two volumes, Red Mars and Green Mars, won numerous awards. In this third volume, Blue Mars, the Red Planet is gone and is now covered by water and settlement as Mars has been terraformed from a desert to a human-habitable world. The Reds' goal is to preserve Mars in its desert state in opposition to the Greens. Now, as all that remains is finishing the breathable atmosphere, Earth is imperiled and Mars confronts either a population explosion or war as the near immortal First Hundred deliberate.
Larry D. Woods, an attorney, is an avid collector of science fiction.
