Blue Mars (Mars Trilogy)

Winner of the Hugo Award for Best Novel € One of the most enthralling science fiction sagas ever written, Kim Stanley Robinson€s epic trilogy concludes with Blue Mars€"a triumph of prodigious research and visionary storytelling.
 
The red planet is no more. Now green and verdant, Mars has been dramatically altered from a desolate world into one where humans can flourish. The First Hundred settlers are being pulled into a fierce new struggle between the Reds, a group devoted to preserving Mars in its desert state, and the Green €œterraformers.€ Meanwhile, Earth is in peril. A great flood threatens an already overcrowded and polluted planet. With Mars the last hope for the human race, the inhabitants of the red planet are heading toward a population explosion€"or interplanetary war.
