The second volume in the bestselling Mars trilogy - and now part of the Voyager Classics collection.

Mars can be plundered - for the benefit of a ravaged Earth. It can be terraformed to suit Man's needs - frozen lakes form, lichen grows, the atmosphere slowly becomes breathable. But most importantly, Mars can be owned. On Earth, countries are bought and sold by the transnationals. Why not Mars too?

Man's dream is underway, but so is his greatest test. The survivors of the First Hundred - Hiroko, Nadia, Maya and Simon among them - know that technology alone is not enough. Trust and co-operation are need to create a new world - but these qualities are as thin on the ground as the air they breathe.

Fascinating Book

5 Sterne

As the middle book of a trilogy, Green Mars is bound to have less "shock value" than Red Mars. Still, the progression of original characters and the new characters is quite interesting. The issues of self-governance and representation that fueled the U.S. revolution are presented in a very believable fashion, as is the evolution of events on earth, which is sadly relevant here in the early 21st century. Some call it slow, but I appreciate the deliberate pacing of Green Mars. Overall a fascinating book.
