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 of a trilogy about Mars colonization. For centuries, Mars has lured humans to conquer its harsh climate, and now, in 2026, a group of 100 colonists is ready to fulfill that destiny. John Boone, Maya Toitavna, Frank Chalmers, and Arkady Bogdanov lead a terraforming mission that ignites passions, daring acts of courage, and madness. For some, Mars is an opportunity to exploit its riches, while for genetic alchemists, it offers the chance to create biomedical breakthroughs that could redefine life and death. The colonists utilize giant satellite mirrors to reflect light and sprinkle black dust on polar caps to capture warmth. They will drill massive tunnels into the mantle to release hot gases. Amidst this monumental upheaval, rivalries, loves, and friendships will form and shatter, as some will fight fiercely to prevent any change to Mars. Brilliantly imagined and breathtaking in scope, this epic scientific saga chronicles a pivotal step in evolution, creating a world filled with both glory and tarnish, inspiring awe with its complexity and vision.
