From a training mission in Antarctica to blistering sandstorms sweeping through barren canyons, these interwoven stories introduce the first 100 explorers on Mars and the emotional and physical struggles they go through. nKim Stanley Robinson's Mars trilogy is one of science fiction's most honored stories, with Red Mars winning the distinguished Nebula Award, and both Green Mars and Blue Mars honored with the Hugo.
