Blue Mars

Hugo Award Winner for Best Novel • One of the most gripping science fiction sagas ever written, Kim Stanley Robinson's epic trilogy concludes with Blue Mars—a triumph of prodigious research and visionary storytelling.

A breakthrough even of [Kim Stanley Robinson's] own consistently high levels of achievement. — The New York Times Book Review

The Red Planet is no more. Now green and verdant, Mars has been radically transformed from a desolate world into one where humans can thrive. The first hundred colonists are drawn into a fierce new struggle between the Reds, a group dedicated to preserving Mars in its desert state, and the Green terraformers. Meanwhile, Earth is in peril. A great flood threatens an already overpopulated and polluted planet. With Mars the last hope for the human race, the inhabitants of the Red Planet are heading for either a population explosion or interplanetary war.
