First in the Mars trilogy written by a great of the sci-fi genre, it didn’t really follow a conventional plot structure and was constructed of a series of short episodes that combined to tell the long overarching story of the colonisation and terraforming of Mars. It reads like an early example of hard sci-fi takes the core plot idea more seriously than many similar stories, featuring failures and successes alike.
