En savoir plus sur le livre
In his most ambitious project to date, award-winning author Kim Stanley Robinson employs extensive research and cutting-edge science in the first installment of a trilogy about Mars colonization. For eons, sandstorms have ravaged the desolate landscape, and now, in 2026, a group of 100 colonists is ready to fulfill humanity's dream of conquering its hostile climate. Leading the terraforming mission are John Boone, Maya Toitavna, Frank Chalmers, and Arkady Bogdanov. For some, Mars ignites a passion that drives them to acts of courage and madness, while others see it as an opportunity to exploit its riches. Genetic alchemists aim to achieve biomedical breakthroughs that could redefine life and death. The colonists utilize giant satellite mirrors to reflect light, sprinkle black dust on polar caps to capture warmth, and drill massive tunnels into the mantle to release hot gases. Amidst this epic upheaval, rivalries, loves, and friendships will emerge and crumble, as some will fight fiercely to prevent any alteration of Mars. This brilliantly imagined saga chronicles the next step in evolution, depicting a future filled with both glory and tarnish, inspiring awe with its complexity and vision.
