misternoodle 's review for:

Red Mars by Kim Stanley Robinson
5.0

Another great “new” author for me, and one who managed to match the quality of Asimov’s best works in terms of excitement. I always wanted to keep reading more and despite the challenges of the geography references, I could picture the conflict as though it were produced by HBO. For an old book it holds up incredibly well barring some of the cultural generalizations (though those are often from the characters’s pov)
A bittersweet ending for the 100 but glad to have a clear jumping off point for the next book. Curious as to the time jump over the rest of the series but the treatments give me hope. KSR has cemented himself as a titan of sci-fi in my book and I hope the stand-alone novels can deliver characters and events like these.
