About this listen
For centuries, the red planet has enticed the people of Earth. Now an international group of scientists has colonized Mars. Leaving Earth forever, these 100 people have traveled nine months to reach their new home. This is the remarkable story of the world they create - and the hidden power struggles of those who want to control it.
Although it is fiction, Red Mars is based on years of research. As living spaces and greenhouses multiply, an astonishing panorama of our galactic future rises from the red dust. Through Richard Ferrone's narration, each scene is energized with the designs and dreams of the extraordinary pioneers.

More fiction than science fiction very to date of how hard to live on Mars, the planet atmosphere and people trying to live there and with each other

great story, week narration
I love this book I've read it twice and now listened to it, but the narrator's brutalisation of even normal words is jarring. even that can't diminish the story though.

Astonishing
l was unsure going into this book weather it would hold up to so many great reviews from other writers, but it goes beyond and more. Great characters, great writing which flow between environment, distance and events. Kim Stanley Robinson deals with the science, politics and economics with such skill and gives the reader a 'what if' this happen and how the human race will deal with it.
Superbly narrated as well. 5 ☆☆☆☆☆ on to Green Mars....

Not what I expected.
I found the setting believable and the knowledge of mars and space in general very interesting. However the storyline and narrative were all over the place and I found it hard to engage with any of the characters and even to finish the book. It sort of just faded out with nothing really happening and left me bewildered as to why I had bothered at all.

Full on descriptions which distract from the story
Comprehensive and full-on descriptions of the environment and situations which does at times distract from the actual story line, making it feel long winded. Also occasionally the narration seems to make a slight pause or break as if it's the end of a paragraph but then continues as the same sentence, which can be a bit jarring to the listener. An ok story but not sure if I will be getting the next book in this series
