Title: A World-Conquering set of ideas peopled by dysfunctionals.
Product review: When I pick up a Nebula award winning book I do not expect to find page after page of single dimensioned dysfunctional characters. Stanley started with a terrific set of technical ideas to portray the colonization of this red planet. Had he spent as much time with more rounded characters this would've been a terrific read. As it was, I became so bored with the characters and the repetitive landscape descriptions (ad nauseum), that I just skimmed the final 100 pages.
