Blue Mars
Kim Stanley Robinson
Bantam Books
 Mars has grown up.<br> It's fully
terraformed - specifically engineered plants and animals live by
recently formed canals and stormy seas - and it is politically
independent. Most of the First Hundred have died. Those that remain are
like walking myths to Martian youth.<br><br> Earth has grown too much.<br>Chronic
 overpopulation, bitter nationalism, scarce resources; to too many
Terrans, Mars is a mocking utopia. A dream to live for, fight for..
perhaps even die for.<br>
