I have some criticisms of this, but in general, I quite enjoyed it. I'm not going to say that this felt like a fluff novel from Robinson, but I feel like I enjoyed it on a pretty surface level with its sense of adventure and like the sense of wonder of the place of Antarctica.

Kim Stanley RobinsonThe red planet is red no longer, as Mars has become a perfectly inhabitable world. But while Mars flourishes, Earth is threatened by overpopulation and ecological disaster. Soon people look to Mars as a refuge, initiating a possible interplanetary conflict, as well as political strife between the Reds, who wish to preserve the planet in its desert state, and the Green "terraformers". The ultimate fate of Earth, as well as the possibility of new explorations into the solar system, stand in the balance.From the Paperback edition.
