In Red Mars, Kim Stanley Robinson imagined a near future in which humankind established the first colonies on Mars and began to make the planet inhabitable for humans. In this stunning sequel to that Nebula Award-winning novel, Robinson takes the colonization of Mars to a new generation, with a new set of problems and concerns.

The initial Martian pioneers had fierce disagreements about how the planet should be used by humans. This led to a war that threatened the lives of billions of people on both Mars and Earth. Now, the second generation of settlers continues the struggle to survive the hostile yet strangely beautiful environment of the red planet. Their decisions and actions will ultimately determine whether Mars will simply be a sanctuary for scientists, a source of raw materials for Earth, or something much more.

Richard Ferrone's robust narration of this thrilling, timeless tale captures the fascinating diversity of Robinson's compelling characters, taking listeners to the farthest frontier of humanity's struggle to survive.

Critic reviews

  • Hugo Award, Best Novel, 1994

"This may well be Robinson's best book and possibly the best of the many and various our-future-on-Mars novels to date." (Booklist)
"Yet another masterpiece....I can't imagine anybody else staking out any portion of this immemorial dreamscape with the same elegant detail and thoroughness; it's Kim Stanley Robinson's now and for a long time to come." (Science Fiction Age)

I really enjoyed Red Mars and wanted to continue the series. I must say, while this was not quite as intriguing as the first book, it was still a very well written and enjoyable continuation. The detail could be monotonous for some (you probably already know whether or not this series is right for you from the first book haha), but I love the detail, it feels like a future documentary in a lot of ways. On occasion, I found myself needing to rewind some sections that were a little dry or when following some of the characters who were not quite as interesting as others and would lose my attention. I'm looking forward to the Blue Mars next!

Inconceivable!

A truly satisfying second installment in the Red Mars saga. The broad development of modern concepts in a wide range of scientific disciplines continues to be mid expanding, providing a believable and exhilarating ride through a Mars development process that is incredibly convincing. Again, Elon Musk eat your out!

A wonderful follow on to Red Mars!

In book 2 ( Green mars) I felt a better connection with the characters more storyline, faster pace, less Classroom lecturing; I actually find myself looking forward to the 3rd book.

Engaging... more so than book one

To me the characters were much more interesting, likeable and believable in this second book of the series. I had a hard time finishing the first one, but I'm glad I did.

Better than the first book

A pleasure to re-enter this world and follow old and new lives and loves and science experiments on Mars. Same reader, who has a non-melodramatic but mellowly differentiated character style that I like. Heading for book 3 now!

Stirring continuation
