Voted one of the best science fiction novels of 1985 in the Locus Poll, this early work by Kim Stanley Robinson is set in the same universe as his acclaimed Mars trilogy. The narrative blends mystery and psychological drama across three sections. In 2248, Mars is governed by a repressive committee that stifles dissent and exploration. Scientist Emma Weil gets involved in a secret plan to convert a stolen ship into a self-sustaining spacecraft, ultimately choosing to return to Mars to join the ongoing revolution. Fast forward three centuries, archaeologist Hjalmar Nederland uncovers a governmental cover-up regarding the revolution. During his investigation, a Stonehenge-like monument is found on Pluto's north pole, prompting him to connect it to the revolutionaries who ventured into space. Seventy years later, his great-grandson Edmond Doya doubts the authenticity of Nederland's findings and seeks to debunk his theory. Alongside themes of interstellar travel and Mars terraforming, Robinson's characters navigate complex issues of politics, careers, family, and aging. This novel serves as an engaging introduction to the author's unique blend of hard science and relatable character development.
