About this book
In 2026, a hundred colonists set off on the first long voyage to Mars. Among them are John Boone, the first man to walk on the planet, and his rival Frank Chalmers, a schemer who prefers to work behind the scenes.
On arrival they start to build, and to argue about what Mars should become: a planet to be terraformed, or a world to be left as it is. As more settlers and powerful corporations arrive, the debate turns into conflict. The first book in Kim Stanley Robinson's Mars trilogy, told through the eyes of several colonists.
