The second volume in the bestselling Mars trilogy — and now part of the Voyager Classics collection.
Mars can be plundered — for the benefit of a ravaged Earth. It can be terraformed to suit Man’s needs — frozen lakes form, lichen grows, the atmosphere slowly becomes breathable. But most importantly, Mars can be owned. On Earth, countries are bought and sold by the transnationals. Why not Mars too?
Man’s dream is underway, but so is his greatest test. The survivors of the First Hundred — Hiroko, Nadia, Maya and Simon among them — know that technology alone is not enough. Trust and co-operation are need to create a new world — but these qualities are as thin on the ground as the air they breathe.

Quotes

  • Алексейhas quoted2 years ago
    The UN never recovered from 2061, and is now widely regarded as an artefact of World War Two, just as the League of Nations was an artefact of World War One. So we’ve lost our best arbitrator of international disputes, and meanwhile conflicts have been ongoing, and some are serious.

    But childhood isn’t just those years. It’s also the opinions you form about them afterward. That’s why our childhoods are so long.

    Max Planck once said that a new paradigm takes over not when it convinces its opponents, but when its opponents eventually die.”
    “And now they aren’t dying,” Art said.
