Wasn't that the backdrop to Red Mars?

... fantastic take on post-apocalyptic North America some five-thousand years in the future. A fun easy read. I fell out of Red Mars, which I need to get back into before the library fines get too bad.

Still reading Red Mars...

... I also reread Regeneration, despite it only being some weeks since I first read it. All the while I put in snippets of Red Mars, when my brain felt up to it. It's a 'heavy' book, for sure; demands a lot of thinking and the text never really captures me beyond 'this is interesting'.

... in the exact same spot. Must be a well designed old Horseshoe. I remembered that I need to read the supposedly classic Red Mars, Green Mars, Blue Mars series as well. That book about Holmes and Doyle was way more interesting than I anticipated and hopefully your library has it. It's ...

... the Lamps of His Mouth." His poetry is included as well for completeness sake which is more interesting than enjoyable. Red Mars by Kim Stanley Robinson and Faust again. ed. to fix a touchstone

... sex and it might just have been impressive for it's immense scope). Maybe the Mars trilogy by Kim Stanley Robinson - Red Mars, Blue Mars and Green Mars. Again, I don't remembe sex scenes, but the relationships are plausibly adult - ie psychologically complicated. Of the two, I'd ...

... Very good story, IMO. Suspense, intrigue... and some heart-rending scenes. I'd happily try another Michael as well. Red Mars by Robinson (572 pp)--A few years ago, I had Green Mars in my collection. It was third in the series. I read it, and liked it okay but felt no compulsion ...

If you are scientifically inclined, Red Mars by Kim Stanley Robinson is really a must read. I would suggest you check out Roger Zelazny's Lord of Light too, but as it is quite old, you might have read it already. Hyperion by Dan Simmons is also quite a good take on Science Fi ...

calm - I just gave Under Sea, Over Stone to a friend. It's nice to see it get more attention recently. Have started Red Mars, and Learning mySQL in a nod to the greater demands of my own TBR pile.

Thanks, this is just the stuff I'm looking for. Red Mars should be three. Foundation, seven. Revelation Space, three. Triplanetary, seven. Pastwatch, one. Right?

I'd still vote Red Mars as one of three. The short series aren't essential to the series and from memory some aren't very related. The question might then come what about other books which are set in the same Universe as others. Some of Peter F Hamilton might fit this. But I'd agree with 7 for Fou ...

8> The Red Mars series has a fourth book of related short stories titled The Martians. I'd personally vote for the Foundation series being the full 7 books. (Original trilogy + 2 sequels + 2 prequels.) If we're going to have all C.J. Cherryh's Foreigner books counted, then why not? Als ...

... sf by purists and now maybe a bit dated but the list needs a little political satire on it. Lastly some corrections. Red Mars is in a series of three. Not sure of we say Foundation is 3 (originally) or 7? Triplanetary is part of 7 and I wanted to correct you on Mary Shelley's name but ...

I folded. I went to the sf/f bookshop today, coming home with Accelerando, by Charles Stross, Red Mars, by Kim Stanley Robinson, and Once a hero, by Elizabeth Moon. Also a small Star Wars toy for son. When we had paid I asked him if he had noticed the light sabres. He was awed, ...

Red Mars by Kim Stanley Robinson I've been doing a quick copy - refresh before posting lately. That seems to happen every day or so

Kim Stanley Robinson's Mars trilogy which starts with Red Mars

... I simply must know: do the subsequent books contain less aimless wandering across the surface of Mars? I read Red Mars recently and while I loved the early portions of the book, which really seemed to focus on the intriguing dynamics among a core group of people, I got really bored ...

I've apparently not posted here for nearly a month - most of which I've spent reading KSR's Mars trilogy, Red Mars, Green Mars and Blue Mars. Wonderfulyl convolute very very slow actionless books, full of politics and personalities. I really enjoyed them and the social commentaty. Not exactly ...

... I always thought he should have just rolled 'Real Story' into the next book since it was so slim. I also enjoyed 'Red Mars', although I got sucked into something else before I completed the third book in the series. Somewhere tucked away I have 'Precipice' and 'Rock rats' by Ben ...

... up. For those of you who don't like slow books where any action only occurs at the end, don't read my current reads the red mars trilogy by KSR - at least the first 3/4 of each of the books (several hundred pages) is scene and mostly character setting. A few characters wonder around, talk, ...

... the cops, and some proper aliens. But it's a very different writing style, and also much darker. It's touched on in the red mars trilogy but only briefly - the setting is unsurprisingly mars rather than the belt. Although the tight third person POV is similar to CJC's style.

... them. 12x of 711 I think, we electronic bookmarks there's no need to look at the page number. It's not been as good as red mars but still very good lots of discursive science and social engineering - things you see discussed in Pro and Con most weeks. It's an ebook and hence this edition ...

Still having Red Mars, Green Mars and Blue Mars in front of me. Maybe i'll even get around to The moon is a harsh mistress.

Bonjour à tous, Je dévore l'intégral des nouvelles de Philip K. Dick. Un vrai bonheur. Pour b1ggb00, Mars la rouge, verte, bleue, je ne sais pas ce que tu en pense. J'ai bien aimé la description de la terraformation mais j'ai trouvé l'histoire un peu longuette. J'aime beaucoup les ...

Red Mars is the best of the trilogy. After that it gets bogged down as various political factions fight it out.

I really LIKED the Red Mars etc., series, though.... I'm pretty sure Larry Niven invented what is now called hard SF, and I certainly loved that stuff; Protector and The Ringworld Engineers are still on my once-a-year list. I realize that 'hard SF' can be applied to a lot of the 'sf-with ...

... the mood. The pattern has been broken or something. There are some books I can put down. For instance, when I read Red Mars by Kim Stanley Robinson it was definitely a book that I never hit "the point of no return".lol. Time flies by and really, WW3 could be starting and the world ...

... quite a bit, too. On the other hand, I have a second opinion on Kim Stanley Robinson: I got through about 2/3 of Red Mars and I have to say I wasn't that impressed. The speculative science was interesting, but the temporality of the narrative is so spread out that it's easy to lose ...
