January 2005 – Book on tape from library. I enjoyed this book. It’s an interesting account of the first permanent human colony on Mars. I’ve got my husband listening to it now and I’m going to start the second book, Green Mars.

Excellent, realistic portrayal of how we might colonize Mars…great characterizations and realistic technology descriptions.

Nice story, good use of modern/future technology.

Excellent, in-depth narrative of the first 40-50 years of the colonization of Mars. Robinson’s science is excellent and equal to his insights into the human condition.

Borrowing it from dom.net.

So far, so good—KSR has done his research.

I just re-read this one – a nice companion to the data coming back from Spirit and Opportunity.
