In this 1995 Nebula Award-winning novel, a revolution is transforming the formerly passive Earth-colony of Mars. While opposing political factions on Mars battle for the support of colonists, scientists make a staggering scientific breakthrough that at once fuels the conflict and creates a united Mars front, as the technically superior Earth tries to take credit for it. Backed against a wall, colonial leaders are forced to make a monumental decision that changes the future of Mars forever.

From Kirkus Reviews
Medium-future Martian odyssey from the author of Anvil of Stars (1992), etc. In 2171, Mars inhabitants are grouped in extended family businesses that sometimes compete, sometimes cooperate, and resist the imposition of a central authority. But Earth is forever trying to impose its will upon Mars; and so young politician-to-be Casseia of the old and powerful Majumdar family--following a brief and painful affair with ambitious, brilliant physicist Charles Franklin--will travel to Earth with her uncle Bithras to negotiate with the powers that be. Unexpectedly, the talks fizzle; worse, Casseia learns that Earth has infected Mars's artificial- intelligence ``thinkers'' with virus-like ``evolvons.'' With Earth now openly hostile, Mars must present a united front, and Casseia is elected Vice President. She realizes that what has alarmed Earth are the discoveries of Charles Franklin: his physics of ``descriptors'' allow the alteration or ``tweaking'' of matter and energy within the absolute-zero Bell Continuum. In practical terms: instantaneous communications, the ability to fry remote targets instantaneously, even the moving of entire planets! Earth attacks by activating the evolvons that sabotage Mars's thinkers, producing chaos. Charles Franklin's team retaliates, and the attack ceases. Clearly, though, this is just the first phase of a struggle that must result in Mars's subjugation--or its leaving the solar system altogether. Mundane politicking, plotting, and characters combined with stunning and remarkable invention and extrapolation. Bear is an infuriating writer in that his narrative skills never come close to matching the sheer brilliance of his ideas. So it has been; so it is here. -- Copyright ©1993, Kirkus Associates, LP.

Format:Taschenbuch
I couldn't help but compare this novel to K.S. Robinson's "Red/Green/Blue Mars" series. This novel has a less ambitious scope, but feels much more solid. The main character's growth is great to read, as she plays a pivotal role in the politics of the young Martian colony. As in KSR's trilogy, politics play a large part in this novel, so some people will probably find it too dry... but it's really a fascinating read with interesting, believable characters. Recommended.
Format:Taschenbuch
This book was very deep and intense. It tells about the colonization of Mars and the political and scientifical troubles Mars faces. Greg Bear is able to eloquently express the inner conflicts between Mars and Earth with passion. I encourage hard-core science-fiction readers to read this novel.
Format:Taschenbuch
It's pretty amusing in parts as a kind of future political potboiler - a "Primary Colors" for Martian government. Bear, based on my readings of his books Eon and Eternity, really likes talking about democratic political maneuvering in the midst of ecological or worldwide devastation. It's charming with some notable Asimov-like stilted characters who don't quite sound anything like real people. But there are plenty of more realistic characterizations to enjoy. (And Bear nicely adopts the Heinlein convention of unconvential marriages to adopt to hostile climates.)

That's it. I've read this book and I can die happy.
To say that Moving Mars is a good book would qualify as the largest understatement of my life. It was a great book, an amazing book, possibly even the best hard sci-fi novel that... Lesen Sie weiter...

Disappointing, considering that this book had won some awards - must have been a slow year for SF! While the storyline itself was interesting, it could have used some additional... Lesen Sie weiter...

Above average science fiction
This book was more interesting in the last 100 or so pages than elsewhere. I found the parts on Martian life and the physics of the basis of the plot to be borderline fantasy. Lesen Sie weiter...
