Acclaimed visionary author Kim Stanley Robinson is a Hugo and Nebula Award-winner. Blue Mars is the final volume in Robinson's seminal science-fiction trilogy, which began with Red Mars and continues with Green Mars.

The once red and barren terrain of Mars is now green and rich with life - plant, animal, and human. But idyllic Mars is in a state of political upheaval, plagued by violent conflict between those who would keep the planet green and those who want to return it to a desert world.

Meanwhile, across the void of space, old, tired Earth spins on its decaying axis. A natural disaster threatens to drown the already far too polluted and overcrowded planet. The people of Earth are getting desperate. Maybe desperate enough to wage interplanetary war for the chance to begin again.

Blue Mars is a complex and completely enthralling saga - as convincing and lushly imagined a future as anyone has ever dreamed. Richard Ferrone narrates this sweeping epic with engaging personality and finesse.

Critics' reviews

"Robinson's achievement here is on a par with Bradbury's The Martian Chronicles and Herbert's Dune." (Publishers Weekly)
"A well-written, thoughtful conclusion to the trilogy." (Library Journal)

Red Mars war super stark. Leider konnte die beiden Nachfolgewerke die hohen Erwartungen nicht einhalten. Green Mars hat immer noch interessante neue Charaktere und die diplomatischen Beziehungen zwischen Mars und Erde zum Thema. Blue Mars hingegen zieht sich beinahe endlos ohne rechte Handlung. Es quasi ein 30 Stunden langer Epilog zu den ersten beiden Büchern. Nur für Hardcorefans.

Leider kaum Handlung
