adam_mcphee 's review for:
Icehenge
by Kim Stanley Robinson
Almost a prequel to KSR's amazing Mars Trilogy.
Three novellas about a mutiny, a planned interstellar journey, a strange monument left behind on Pluto and their consequences for historians of Mars.
I liked Emma Weil's tampering with designs for a bacterial life support system, that's the sort of thing I love in science fiction. Doya's listless, tramp-like lifestyle and Nederland's exploration of what it's like to age beyond the natural human lifespan were also great. Kind of typical Robinson subjects, but he always makes them seem so amazing.
I liked the conspiracy theorist's final theory, because it tied everything together, but I hated that character.
I'd have liked to see more about the doomed interstellar journey, but supposedly that's going to be the subject of KSR's next novel, Aurora.
