The Future History of Mars - Part Two
2020: Mankind lands on Mars
2027: The first colonists arrive
2062: Revolution...
The First Hundred - the planet's human pioneers - landed on Mars a generation ago. But now, as humanity's dream of a new world falters in the wake of a failed revolution, those first colonists have scattered or died.
The Martian surface is being cultivated and terraformed to suit Man's needs - frozen lakes are forming, lichen is growing, the atmosphere is slowly becoming breathable. And Earth's transnational corporations have realized that Mars can be owned, and set about plundering the planet for profit.
Below ground, the first generation of children born on Mars are among the rebels in hiding. They will be joined by the survivors of the original settlers - Maya Toitovna, Simon Frasier and Sax Russell - as they attempt to wrest control for Mars's future from the grip of the corporations. But do they want bloody revolution or peaceful co-existence? The fight for the soul of a planet is only just beginning...
'A mighty trilogy... forecasting every detail and facet, triumph and tragedy, crucial breakthroughs and trivialities of humanity's colonization of another world'
Daily Mail
'One of the finest works of American SF'
