Mars, our closest planetary neighbor has always been the topic of Science Fiction almost since the Genre was created. There are many authors who’ve taken up the cause to write about Mars and the future of human colonies and the concept that we may one day inhabit this planet. Some Sci Fi writers have written about Mars as if humans or our genetic relatives once inhabited both planets.

I’ve enjoyed reading many authors and their science fiction accounts of Mars. I, like you have enjoyed the movies as well. I have read all the Ben Bova books on the red planet which are all quite good. Still, out of all the writers of this neighboring world, I would have to recommend Kim Stanley Robinson’s books; Red Mars, Green Mars, and Blue Mars.

“The Mars Trilogy” By Kim Stanley Robinson; Spectra Publishing Company; First Edition (1993)

These books have us look in depth at the geology of Mars and the story takes place with the first 100, these are colonists sent there to terra form the planet’s surface. First the surface is red, then green Mars eventually emerges, next Blue Mars. The colonists there eventually get their own independence from Earth. The vision involved in terra forming is very clear and makes the series that much better.

The Earth in the meantime has its Antarctic Ice Shelf melted by volcano activity, not Global Warming. There is also terrorism on Earth that is pretty bad, it is an ideological resistance. And the problems like the Israel and Palestinian problem seems to be exported to Mars, showing that mankind is not running away from their problems. Well, I best not give away any more, but suffice it to say I highly recommend this trilogy to anyone who loves science fiction, as it’s one of the best.
