Red Mars by Kim Stanley Robinson — book review
smokingpen | August 11, 2004
I recently put down ‘Red Mars’ by Kim Stanley Robinson. Good book. It explores the scientific theory, through a science fiction story, of what would need to take place in order for human-kind to travel to and eventually colonize Mars. The general plot of the book doesn’t sound all that interesting, and unless you are a nut who likes to read well written stories that incorporate science fact with science fiction you’re probably not going to be super-fly on this book either. But the premise is good, the story is great, and the outcome is exactly what you would expect when you know that Kim Stanley Robinson has written two other books behind it, Blue Mars and Green Mars.
