high levels of achievement."--The New York Times Book Review

The red planet is no more. Now green and verdant, Mars has been
dramatically altered from a desolate world into one where humans can
flourish. The First Hundred settlers are being pulled into a fierce new
struggle between the Reds, a group devoted to preserving Mars in its
desert state, and the Green "terraformers." Meanwhile, Earth is in
peril. A great flood threatens an already overcrowded and polluted
planet. With Mars the last hope for the human race, the inhabitants of
the red planet are heading toward a population explosion--or
interplanetary war.
