Led by rebels like Peter Clayborne, these young people are the first generation of children born on Mars. They will be joined by original settlers Maya Toitovna, Simon Frasier, and Sax Russell.

Fascinating Book

As the middle book of a trilogy, Green Mars is bound to have less "shock value" than Red Mars. Still, the progression of original characters and the new characters is quite interesting. The issues of self-governance and representation that fueled the U.S. revolution are presented in a very believable fashion, as is the evolution of events on earth, which is sadly relevant here in the early 21st century. Some call it slow, but I appreciate the deliberate pacing of Green Mars. Overall a fascinating book.
