    Description

    Winner of the Nebula Award for Best Novel, Red Mars is the first book in Kim Stanley Robinson's best-selling trilogy. Red Mars is praised by scientists for its detailed visions of future technology. It is also hailed by authors and critics for its vivid characters and dramatic conflicts.

    For centuries, the red planet has enticed the people of Earth. Now an international group of scientists has colonized Mars. Leaving Earth forever, these 100 people have traveled nine months to reach their new home. This is the remarkable story of the world they create - and the hidden power struggles of those who want to control it.

    Although it is fiction, Red Mars is based on years of research. As living spaces and greenhouses multiply, an astonishing panorama of our galactic future rises from the red dust. Through Richard Ferrone's narration, each scene is energized with the designs and dreams of the extraordinary pioneers.

    ©1993 Kim Stanley Robinson (P)2000 Recorded Books

    "Generously blending hard science with canny insight into human strengths and weaknesses, this suspenseful sf saga should appeal to a wide range of readers." ( Library Journal)
    "The ultimate in future history." ( Daily Mail)

    Like we were on Mars ! Impressive !

    I like very much the descriptions of the landscapes, the strong considerations for human factors in the middle of this endeavor of Mars exploration. It seems so credible and real. My favorite quote is “some mistakes you can never make good” !

    If you like books with DETAIL not much Action

    I can see why the book won awards. The thought that went into this work is VERY good. It kept me listening to the end but it was just so that I could get to the end. It is a detailed look at what colonization would truly be like with all the good and bad points. If you want an action book this is probably NOT for you.

    very long

    This is a strange book. The writing is very competent. The aim seems to be to give a hyper-realistic account of what the colonization of Mars might be like, and some of the descriptive passages are startlingly evocative despite the audio narrator's relentless efforts to conceal the meaning of the sentences. The passages about science and technology are interesting even though most of them fail to advance the plot an inch. The plot is for all practical purposes nonexistent. There is a determined effort to shape realistic characters, but overall they are little different from soap opera people. There are long summary passages that sound like back story from notebooks. The characters argue and fight about things that might be important, but in their mouths sound trivial. Most action scenes come off as eighth-grade bullies' scuffles. Despite the intent to realism, I found it hard to believe that the first shipload of Martian colonists would be debating whether to completely throw out the colonization plans made on Earth (which by that time would have been decades in preparation) and with no replacement plans of their own, just naive political and social abstractions. Anyone with a disposition to disrupt the plans would have been screened out by NASA years before. The audio narrator is barely listenable; he is one of those readers with no ear for the rhythms and stresses of English, and who seems to believe words have no inherent meaning or feeling and he has to inject it, mostly resulting in relentlessly mis-stressed words and phrases to the disruption of the feeling that does reside there. The story being slow, the characters adolescent, and the reading poor, what allowed me to listen to this for the full 24 hours were that Robinson's workmanlike feel for English is usually strong enough to override the reader's misrepresentation of the sentences, and that occasionally a passage describing Mars arises vividly, worth waiting for over long, long stretches.

    I wish there was a different narrator. :(

    It's necessary to explain how I listen to my audio books right now. I play them at night, when I lay down and play my games, and during the night. I hear a lot more of the books than one might think.

    With that explained, RED MARS begins as a 100 person trip to Mars of the best (insert here), to live on Mars. Sounds simple? Ain't.

    I don't like to knock people at their jobs. This fellow shouldn't give up his day job. There are SO many opportunities in this book for a good narrator, or group of narrators. The characters are so rich and diverse. Even among the Americas, there's not really much in the way of differentiation. But even KNOWING there were Russians, Iranian, Iraqi, Shiite, Egyptian, Japanese, Chinese, German, and on and on--my memory is lacking--when I listen to this book I FORGET that Sasha and Nadya are Russian, cause they sound like everyone else. The only group he accented were Southern, and he didn't get us right. The way he reads the book is like all the countries had a prerequisite, and only one. If you go to Mars, you have to speak darn good English--unless you're Southern!

    I'm sorry I''ve rambled, but one more thing. He keeps mispronouncing words!

    This is a decent book. What a shame to do that to a book.

    The first Mars colony

    Kim Stanley Robinson's Mars trilogy is well-regarded by SF fans, but it didn't really live up to the hype for me, though it's an excellent entry in the hard SF genre. Robinson's prose is not as lyrical as Ray Bradbury's, but it's not as dry as Ben Bova's either. Red Mars seems to synthesize elements from all of Robinson's predecessors — it's a Heinleinesque adventure at times, with hard SF infodumps, but actual characters, and shout-outs to every author who's ever touched Mars, including Burroughs.

    Red Mars is the tale of the first Martian colony, and covers a couple of generations of history. The "First Hundred" who established the original settlement become larger-than-life, almost mythical figures to those who follow after them, but as Mars begins to be taken over by political and economic factions bringing old issues of exploitation and oppression (followed by resistance and terrorism) from Earth, the Hundred are just as conflicted and prone to squabbling and working at cross-purposes as all the other settlers.

    Early on, there is a huge debate over terraforming Mars, eventually becoming a conflict between the "Reds" and the "Greens." Eventually other cultures arrive on Mars and have their own ideas of what it means to be a Martian settler. Muslims make up a substantial segment of the population, as do Russians and other nationalities, all wanting to have an equal stake in Martian society.

    The ending shows the surviving members of the Hundred witnessing what happens after decades of emigration and development on Mars, with much of what has been built up brought down by an uprising among the children of Mars.

    If you are a space exploration geek, and especially if you are one of those who still dreams of a Mars expedition in our lifetime, then Red Mars may fire you up with a realistic view of what emigration to Mars might actually look like. It is almost certainly not an accurate picture of what will actually happen, should we ever get that far, but it's a realistic picture of what could happen.

    I give this book 4 stars for being one of the best Mars books out there, but not 5 stars, because the story and the characters just did not grab me enough to wonder, "What happens next?"

    Epic, brilliant

    I've read these books twice and was thrilled to see them come out as audio books. They are a committment, not a quick sci-fi fix, but they are truly amazing in the scope, detail, character development and realistic approach the author takes in developing a society on Mars. I can say this is my favorite sci-fi series of all time - and I have read many. There are a lot of characters and I must admit I'm sure it helps I've read the books in print, but if you're used to really listening to complex books these will definitely be worth your time. The narrator is fine, steady and unobtrusive in his reading. I highly recommend this series if a major work of amazing sci-fi is what you are looking for.

    Old School Hard Sci Fi, but softly

    What made the experience of listening to Red Mars the most enjoyable?

    Science, yes, but also relationships, pathos and politics interact to make this a pretty fun listen. I like these long intertwined stories of science, world building, yet not necessarily space opera-y. Not so far in the future that you can;t imagine it ...kinda...
    But you have to be interested in the science to enjoy this, it is an integral part of the story.

    A true masterpiece

    Red Mars (and The Mars Trilogy in general) asks big questions: How can we start over and recreate society, taking out the bad stuff and saving the good stuff? Can we escape history and remake ourselves into something that overcomes oppression of women, slavery, racism, greed, militarism, environmental destructiveness? Can we turn our society into a means for giving every member of that society a chance to achieve his or her own potential? These are big questions; they can't be answered with bumper sticker slogans. It takes a lot of detail and careful, thoughtful discussion to address them. So while a lot happens in this series, it isn't Star Trek. Problems aren't easily resolved. Situations are never black and white. The characters change, grow, and even forget how they got to the present.

    For readers who like a lot of meat to chew over, these books are probably among the greatest written in the 20th century - obsessively researched, thickly layered with meaning and analysis; the whole series is something that you can listen to time and again, and hear something different every time. The characters are archetypes; even their names express who they are - but they are also real people, with real emotions, amazingly and skillfully brought to life. The issues discussed are both a comment on the present (and history) and, in the best tradition of science fiction, an analysis of future possibilities. I can't recommend the entire series more highly for the reader who enjoys this sort of thing. But be forewarned - there are bad reviews here, and I'm guessing they are from people who were looking for something different - lots of plot and action, perhaps a little less analysis. I enjoy those books too, so I'm not saying that as a criticism of those who didn't find this to their liking. I'm just saying that there are plenty of other books that fill this role. The Mars Trilogy is something else entirely.

    It's like listening to a documentary

    If one pretended that humans really did settle on Mars, this book is like listening to a Discovery Channel dramatized info-documentary on the process of settling Mars. We hear about the lives of the people and their squabbles, plus all the details of building a habitat and society in a new land.

    It's not bad, but it's not terribly interesting either. The narrator is sufficient.

    There is some plot but it's buried under hours of the (very creative) details about settling Mars. This doesn't make it bad, it just makes it... err... unsuspenseful. If you would like detailed descriptions of how a Mars survival suit, space ship or habitat would work, or how a new society would work out their political differences, this is a great book. If you like a mystery or action or wondering "what will happen next" in a story, you probably will be bored with this.

    I put my ipod on the faster reading speed but still can't bring myself to spend any more time listening to this pseudo-documentary. I will not be buying any more in this series.

    Mars Unleashed

    Kim Stanley Robinson has created the most imaginable colonization of Mars. I found the Audio book captivating. Having read all 3 books in the series, I can say that the concepts in the books are completely realistic. The reader does a really good job of portraying the characters in the Novel, each character is distinct in my mind.

    I have really enjoyed this Audio book.

    Tedious

    This is a very tedious book to read. No main characters or even character development. Everything the author started to develop a character they were killed off. There are a lot of blind alleys ... interesting things at the beginning of the book that I thought may be clues to the story but were never developed. Almost like this book is a bunch of bits & pieces of stories all loosely glued together.

    Geschwätzig

    Hard-Sci-Fi ist das zwar auch, aber - zumindest bis zu dem Zeitpunkt, an dem ich nach ca. 4 Stunden abgeschaltet habe - sind das politische Diskussionen wie in der Hippie-WG und viel Beziehungs-Blabla. Passiert ist bis dahin nicht viel, außer dass sich die russische Delegationsleiterin immer noch nicht entschieden hat, welchen der hübschen Amerikaner sie in ihr Bett lassen möchte. Achja, auf dem Mars ist die Expidition auch noch gelandet.

    Ich lese (höre) Science-Fiction weil ich an sowas gerade nicht interessiert bin.

    Dass der Sprecher für einen non-native Speaker nicht gerade leicht zu verstehen ist und eine für mich tendenziell unsympathische Tonalität hat, tat sein übriges, dass ich das Buch vorzeitig beendet habe.

    Could not emotionally engage me at all

    I know the main characters now, but I did not feel any emotional attachement to them at all. The plot is really slow, but even when there's action it did not draw me in much more than the endless descriptions of Mars' geological formations.
    Would probably have stopped reading if this wasn't an audiobook.

    Nerdy side note: The automation is just ridiculous. They are manually flying planes that were manufactured by a completely automated factory. They very quickly start to produce crazy luxury items like wine on Mars and seem to have just endless raw materials to build their machines with. Procuring and refining minerals seems to be no problem at all, but apparently there much manual programming effort needed (on Mars, because you can't prepare stuff like that on Earth, obviously) to get brick laying robots to build houses.

    This book was recommended from many different sources. I really can't understand why.

    nationalistisch und kulturalistisch

    eigentlich super spannend aber soziokulturell unaushaltbar engstirnig. Klischees ohne Ende. In verbindung mit dem Sprecher und seiner wenig emphatischen Stimme echt keinen Bock mehr.

    Mehr Fakten als Fiktion

    Für Leser, die an der Marsbesiedlung und wissenschaftlich fundierten Hintergründen dazu interessiert sind, bietet das Buch massig Fakten und plausible Fiktion. Leider hat es dabei wenig und mäßige Story. gerade am Anfang scheint es, als existierten die Charaktere nur, um zur ausschweifenden Beschreibung der Geologie und Geografie des Planeten verschiedene Fakten aus anderen Forschungsgebieten beizutragen. Schade, ich hatte mehr erwartet.

    Man braucht schon Sitzfleisch bzw Ohrfleisch ...

    ... um Red Mars bis zum Ende durchzuhören. Vor ein paar Jahren habe ich Mal das Buch angefangen zu lesen, aber nach der Hälfte abgebrochen. War damals schon anstrengend.

    Natürlich bewundere ich den Autor zutiefst so einen Wälzer zu schreiben und die Hard Science SciFi in diesem Buch ist großartig. Sie gibt den damaligen Wissenstand zum Mars perfekt wieder und die Technologien sind glaubwürdig. Naja, bei den Biowissenschaften evtl nicht ganz, aber Molekulargenetik war damals einfach noch eher sowas wie schwarze Magie und keine Wissenschaft wie heute.

    Aber die teils ellenlangen Erzählungen über die Reise einzelner Charaktere, ihr Werdegang, ihre zwischenmenschlichen Beziehungen ... Da braucht es wirklich "Ohrfleisch". Und wer Action sucht, der wird in diesem Buch nur sehr selten welche finden.

    Aber wer sich für SciFi Klassiker, die man mal gelesen - oder gehört - haben sollte, interessiert, einen Flug nach Australien vor sich hat und im Flieger eh nicht schlafen kann, für den ist dieses Hörbuch sicher empfehlenswert. Und für den Rückflug dann Green Mars. Und dann am besten auch noch Blue Mars...wenn schon dann denn schon!

    Wowowowow - erstes Durchhören zu Ehren von Percy

    Die Mars-Trilogie von KSR hatte ich als fleißiger Mitleser bei r/printsf natürlich schon lange auf dem Schirm und die Landung des NASA-Rovers Perseverance hat nun den perfekten Anlass geboten, in die berühmte Reihe einzusteigen.

    Wow, ich bin absolut begeistert. Alles wirkt unheimlich fundiert und recherchiert. Der Autor muss sich intensivst in die Geologie des Mars eingearbeitet haben, denn die Beschaffenheit und das darauf basierendiere Terraforming werden ausführlich und mit Fachterminologie im Stile einer "Hard Sci-Fi" beschrieben. Viele kritisieren dies, ich fand es genial. Aber auch davon abgesehen bietet dieses Buch tiefgründige philosophische Debatten und wilde politische Revolution. Der eigentliche Star des Buchs bleibt aber der Mars.

    Richard Ferrone ist im Übrigen ein fantastischer Erzähler und ich freue mich schon auf die Nachfolger 'Green' und 'Blue Mars'.
