  <default_description>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.</default_description>

I can be rather narrow-minded when it comes to exploring new authors.

    <body><![CDATA[Kip really liked this book, but a lot of it was unfortunately over my head.  I think Craig and Dad with their strong scientific backgrounds would get more from it that I did.  I also got bored with the politics that took up a good portion of the middle and I felt the main character was half-hearted ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/8462990">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This was an excellent novel, both classical in plot yet fresh and interesting in comparison to the rest of Greg Bear's work.  This has a good mix of science fiction, hard scientific/mathematical concepts and politics.   If you have been dissuaded by the overly political machinations of the USA on ea...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/25253190">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Great book in the hard science fiction category: [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hard_science_fiction].  Mars has been settled by earthlings, but it is a backward planet compared to Earth.  This book follows the life of one Martian and her experiences with politics, love, revolution, and technology.  ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/2699272">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This is a clever book that could have benefited from being about 50 pages shorter.  There are some brilliant portions regarding negotiations between Earth and Mars that tie in nicely the interaction of human failings and the larger goals that that human is trying to achieve.  Well worth the time, bu...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/33441980">more...</a>]]></body>
