A contested future for Mars

Nearly a generation after the first landing, Mars is being reshaped toward an Earthlike world, a project that divides its inhabitants. Those who want to preserve the planet’s barren landscape resist the transformation; a younger generation born on Mars leads the opposition, joined by some of the original settlers. The conflict makes planetary engineering inseparable from questions of home, inheritance, and who gets to decide what Mars should become. As the second novel in Kim Stanley Robinson’s Mars trilogy, Green Mars develops its colonization setting through competing visions for the planet and the relationships and rivalries that form around them.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in hard science fiction and the colonization of Mars.
  • Readers who enjoy speculative conflicts about environmental transformation and competing ideas of home.
  • Readers seeking the middle volume of Kim Stanley Robinson’s Mars trilogy.

Book overview

Winner of the Hugo Award for Best Novel - Kim Stanley Robinson's classic trilogy depicting the colonization of Mars continues in a thrilling and timeless novel that pits the settlers against their greatest foes: themselves.

"One of the major sagas of the [latest] generation in science fiction."--Chicago Sun-Times

Nearly a generation has passed since the first pioneers landed on Mars, and its transformation to an Earthlike planet is under way. But not everyone wants to see the process through. The methods are opposed by those determined to preserve their home planet's hostile, barren beauty. Led by the first generation of children born on Mars, these rebels are soon joined by a handful of the original settlers. Against this cosmic backdrop, passions, partnerships, and rivalries explode in a story as spectacular as the planet itself.
