Title: Scientific Poetry
Product review: Red Mars is like nothing I have read. It's a story of the first hundred people to colonize Mars. The plot is a bit predictable, but interesting nonetheless, and a sort of mystery develops early on in the book. Set in a world described in excruciating detail, I was awed by how scientifically accurate this book was, making it very believable. I'm normally not a fan of political struggles, but Kim Stanley Robinson has made the political struggles of the Red Planet worth reading about, and very intriguing. I would not call this a traditional sf work. This is beyond FICTION....it could easily be our future; a some-day history book.
