the Mars Trilogy - Red Mars, Green Mars, and Blue Mars - if you've not already read them. An epic story told by a master.

nine that year: Mars Trilogy, California Trilogy, Antarctica, The Years of Rice and Salt, and Galileo's Dream.

Intended to read 2312 but never got a copy at the time and moved on in my reading.

His PhD thesis long ago was on Philip K Dick but I have never read that despite being a major PKD reader and book collector.

I actually made two posts today on another forum (not DU) regards the Mars Trilogy.

Very good stuff.

will get 40-50-69, 2312, and some others and have another epic KSR read.

I read the Mars Trilogy in hc from the library and bought mostly ragged used soft covers of the other novels.
