Title: Antarctia or Pre-Red Mars?
Review: After reading the geological Mars trilogy (Red, Green, and Blue), I wasn't sure if Antarctica was going to be another geological story. Unfortunately, this turns out to be another story whose focus is on the geology and the environment, instead of a true sci-fi near future story. Though I truly felt as though I were in Antarctica, I did not want to feel this way for 600+ pages. The characters seemed to be secondary compared to the landscape -- and the extended history review of former Antarctic explorers just did not grab me. I wanted this story to wow me, but it just reminded me of Red Mars (the mysterious Asian woman who is leading a group of ferrel explorers who want to get closer to the native livestyle). Don't get me wrong, I'll continue to read Robinson's novels, but maybe geological sci-fi just is not my cup of tea...
