This is a collection of science fiction short stories, cleverly cobbled together to form a coherent and very readable novel about a future colonization of Mars. As the stories progress chronologically the author tells how the first humans colonized Mars, initially sharing the planet with a handful of Martians. When Earth is devastated by nuclear war the colony is left to fend for itself and the colonists determine to build a new Earth on Mars.
Amazingly enthralling, horrifying, realistic, and humerus, almost all at the same time.
I listened to this book again, suffering under the false delusion that it could not possibly be as good as I remembered. I was wrong. Soulful poetic science fiction does exist!
