Moving Mars by Greg Bear

We were at the craft fair in Anoka yesterday because it was something local and we don't really do local things. As expected, the craft fair was not interesting, so we went over to the bookstore. Not wanting to wander around and not buy anything, I picked up Moving Mars, hoping that it would be slightly as nifty as the Mars books by Kim Stanley Robinson. Moving Mars is okay (good enough to get nominated for a Hugo), but is very small in scope compared to even Red Mars. There's a weird piece of science toward the end and the politics are uninteresting. It was an okay read for a summer afternoon, but not fantastic.

Pages: 500
