A galaxy-altering scientific breakthrough on Mars inspires treachery and revolution in this Nebula Awardwinning science fiction epic. The child of one of the oldest, most revered family-corporate units on colonized Mars, Casseia Majumdar has spent her entire life in the tunnels that run beneath the surface of her homeworld. As a young college student in 2171, the fifty-third year of the Martian settlement, she experiences a profound political awakening, and her embrace of radical activism only intensifies following a failed diplomatic mission to Earth. As she rises up through the political ranks back on Marswith tensions increasing between an oppressive ';Mother Earth' and her rebellious ';Red Rabbit' childrenCasseia soon realizes that an enlightened ideology alone will not save her planet and its people. But it is a staggering scientific discovery by Martian physicist Charles FranklinCasseia's mentor and former loverthat will ultimately reveal the depths of the perfidy of the ';Terries,' forcing an imperiled civilization to alter forever the map of the universe. A two-time winner of the Nebula Award and a multiple Hugo and Arthur C. Clarke Award nominee, the great Greg Bear has been called ';the complete master of the grand scale sf novel' (Booklist). His Moving Mars is a masterful extrapolation of contentious humanity's possible future and a modern classic to be shelved alongside the acclaimed Mars novels of Ben Bova and Kim Stanley Robinson. It's ';as good as hard science fiction gets' (The Oregonian).
