The first novel in Kim Stanley Robinson’s massively successful and lavishly praised Mars trilogy. ‘The ultimate in future history’ Daily Mail
Mars – the barren, forbidding planet that epitomises mankind’s dreams of space conquest.
From the first pioneers who looked back at Earth and saw a small blue star, to the first colonists – hand-picked scientists with the skills necessary to create life from cold desert – Red Mars is the story of a new genesis. It is also the story of how Man must struggle against his own self-destructive mechanisms to achieve his dreams: before he even sets foot on the red planet, factions are forming, tensions are rising and violence is brewing… for civilization can be very uncivilized.

Kim Stanley Robinson was born in 1952 and, after travelling and working around the world, has now settled in his beloved California. He is widely regarded as the finest science fiction writer working today, noted as much for the verisimilitude of his characters as the meticulously researched hard science basis of his work. He has won just about every major sf award there is to win.

Paperback: 7" x 4½". Condición: Good: Moderate signs of wear. Cover Art: Peter Elson Ilustrador. 1996 Edition. © 1992: 1st in the 'Mars' series of books. Unknown publication date. 2nd printing of 1996 edition:- Synopsis: Mars. The Red Planet. Closest to Earth in our solar system, surely life must exist on it? We dreamt about the builders of the canals we could see by telescope, about ruined cities, lost Martian civilisations, the possibilities of alien contact. Then the Viking and Mariner probes went up, and sent back nothing. Mars was a barren planet: lifeless, sterile, uninhabited. In 2019, the first man sets foot on Mars: John Boone, American hero. In 2027, one hundred of the Earth's finest engineers and scientists made the first mass-landing. Their mission? To create a New World. To terraform a planet with no atmosphere, an intensely cold climate and no magnetosphere into an Eden full of people, plants and animals. It is the greatest challenge mankind has ever faced: the ultimate use of intelligence and ability: our finest dream:- Review(s): "First of a mighty trilogy. 'Red Mars' is the ultimate in future history" - Daily Mail / "One of the finest works of American SF" - Times Literary Supplement / "'Red Mars' may simply be the best novel that has ever been written about Mars" - Interzone / "A staggering book. The best novel on the colonization of Mars that has ever been written" - Arthur C Clarke:- (original cost £6.99). Nº de ref. del artículo: 21.089.00033
