The Mars trilogy is a series of science fiction novels by Kim Stanley Robinson that chronicles the settlement and terraforming of the planet Mars through the personal and detailed viewpoints of a wide variety of characters spanning almost two centuries. Ultimately more utopian than dystopian, the story focuses on egalitarian, sociological, and scientific advances made on Mars, while Earth suffers from overpopulation and ecological disaster.

Kim Stanley Robinson - I read the whole trilogy from Red to Green to Blue Mars. Red Mars was excellent, as long as it kept to the idea of how to make Mars a planet where people could live. Green Mars was difficult for me to read because there was so much biological information I did not understand. Blue Mars was more about how much further humankind was taking us, including the ability to live for 200 years and more. The one theme I found in the complete series was that humankind takes its inability to work together as a whole. There were always the arguments, debates, unwillingness to see all sides of every story. On the whole, it appears that humankind will never be able to get along, even into the far future. I think that is a legitimate quarrel to make, but I also find it disheartening to know.

I had mixed feelings about starting this series, and yes there were plenty of times when I skimmed over the more dry and technical sections. But I was completely unprepared for how much I would care for the characters by the end of the series.

For the first two books they felt more like narrative devices than full fleshed out people - a way for the author to explore different aspects of colonisation. And that was fine, I was happily along for the ride.

But it's a long ride, and by the end they start to feel like old friends. And then those old friends start to reach the end of their run. They suddenly seem so much more human, so much more vulnerable. I found myself tearing up at several points during particularly poignant goodbyes.

Taken together, this book completes the trilogy by instilling it with the emotional investment that wasn't necessarily present in the first two. Bravo, Kim Stanley Robinson. Bravo.

KSR writes like he has been given a blank book of a predetermined size and he must fill it. He may be a good writer but there is just too much filler, filler that would best be left out. When reading his works I find myself skipping pages because of his tedious descriptions. Some of his lists have dozens of items when in most cases just a few would suffice; and some of his descriptions, though informative and correct, are simply too long. I feel that the Mars trilogy should be condensed to a single three part book.

This is the final installment of the Red Mars series, easily the most engaging novel I've read in twenty years or more. After eading the first one, Red Mars, I wasn't going to stop until I'd read it all.

The strength of the series, in its sweeping scope, is its insights into political science as it plays out on an exceptionally large cast of well-developed characters. By means of a device available only to SciFi writers, the characters have access to life-extending DNA modifications which enables them to bear witness to events over the span of a couple of centuries. Some may see this as a contrivance, but this life extension exercise is so plausibly interwoven into the warp and weft of the story strucutre that it didn't bother me at all.

Robonson writes really beautifully, with extended (some might say over-extended) landscape descriptions, local and global geography, and what appears to be an encyclopedic knowledge of geology. The physics gets a bit fanciful in the later volumes, much less so early on. Whjat really drives the novel, though, is the conflicts between characters and institutions, both of which continue to change over time. You've got sex. You've got romance. You've got the love of nature, the quest for power, and the reactions of those who don't like it. What more could you want?

I would given this five stars but for a few annoying flaws. As the saga goes on, and the author is obviously tiring, you find more errors creeping in: Character names misspelled, plot lines set up and then left unresolved, a character dying and then reappearing with no explanation, small words missing here and there. Evidently the editor(s) got as tired as the author.

Still, on balance, a good read, if not quite as exciting and engaging as Red Mars.

The Mars series is fantastic science fiction. Big on hard science and carrying the same kind of long arcing storylines that made Asimov's Foundation series one of my favorites, this series deserves to be placed at the acme of science fiction's anthology. As a conclusion to the trilogy, this book delivers a vivid picture of the burgeoning colonists, having cast of the chains of the Metanational Corporations and the decrepit remains of the UN they controlled, running head long into the problems of self-governance. These issues are compounded, of course, by the nature of living on a world in the midst of being terraformed, desperate immigration from an Earth that is deep into ecological disaster from overpopulation, and complications from the newly discovered treatment that allows humans to live for centuries. While it can be a bit slow at times this book is well worth your time.
