The final novel in the worldwide bestselling Mars trilogy. Mars has grown up It is fully terraformed -- genetically engineered plants and animals live by newly built canals and young but stormy seas. It is politically independent. A brave and buzzing new world. Most of the First Hundred have died. Those that remain are like walking myths to Martian youth. Earth has grown too much Chronic overpopulation, bitter nationalism, scarce resourses. For too many Terrans, Mars is a mocking utopia. A dream to live for, fight for...perhaps even die for.
The first novel in Kim Stanley Robinson's massively successful and lavishly praised Mars trilogy. Mars -- the barren, forbidding planet that epitomises mankind's dreams of space conquest. From the first pioneers who looked back at Earth and saw a small blue star, to the first colonists -- hand-picked scientists with the skills necessary to create life from cold desert -- Red Mars is the story of a new genesis. It is also the story of how Man must struggle against his own self-destructive mechanisms to achieve his dreams: before he even sets foot on the red planet, factions are forming, tensions are rising and violence is brewing...for civilization can be very uncivilized.
Icehenge es una espléndida aventura interplanetaria que abarca medio milenio de futuro de la humanidad al conectar tres historias ubicadas en tiempos distintos y narradas desde tres puntos de vista diferentes. Una apasionante trama que sirve de telon de fondo para reflexionar sobre la identidad, los mecanismos del conocimiento y la construccion de la historia, demostrando que la necesidad de comprender los propios origenes nos lleva a conclusiones verosimiles que sin embargo se basan mas en la sugestion que en los hechos.
