Welcome to Ringworld, an intermediate step between Dyson Spheres and planets. The gravitational force created by a rotation on its axis of 770 miles per second means no need for a roof. Walls 1,000 miles high at each rim will let in the sun and prevent much air from escaping. Larry Niven's novel, Ringworld, is the winner of the 1970 Hugo Award for Best Novel, the 1970 Nebula Award for Best Novel, and the 1972 Ditmars, an Australian award for Best International Science Fiction.

Story4 out of 5 stars 33
It is the 14th century, and one of the most apocalyptic events in human history is set to occur - the coming of the Black Death. History teaches us that a third of Europe's population was destroyed. But what if the plague had killed 99 percent of the population instead? How would the world have changed? This is a look at the history that could have been - a history that stretches across centuries, a history that sees dynasties and nations rise and crumble, a history that spans horrible famine and magnificent innovation.

Publisher's Summary
The initial Martian pioneers had fierce disagreements about how the planet should be used by humans. This led to a war that threatened the lives of billions of people on both Mars and Earth. Now, the second generation of settlers continues the struggle to survive the hostile yet strangely beautiful environment of the red planet. Their decisions and actions will ultimately determine whether Mars will simply be a sanctuary for scientists, a source of raw materials for Earth, or something much more.
Richard Ferrone's robust narration of this thrilling, timeless tale captures the fascinating diversity of Robinson's compelling characters, taking listeners to the farthest frontier of humanity's struggle to survive.
Critic Reviews
- Hugo Award, Best Novel, 1994
"This may well be Robinson's best book and possibly the best of the many and various our-future-on-Mars novels to date." (Booklist)
"Yet another masterpiece....I can't imagine anybody else staking out any portion of this immemorial dreamscape with the same elegant detail and thoroughness; it's Kim Stanley Robinson's now and for a long time to come." (Science Fiction Age)

You can never go back.
It's my third time through this treasure series and I see the story play out differently with each new phase of my life. For the first time I noticed the roles of the four greatest of the first hundred mimic the four elements. Sax's obsession with air, Maya building oceans of water, Ann lost in the Ka and Nadia using fire the way humans have harnessed it for thousands of years to animate our tools of building. I wept twice in nirgals chapters here in part green as he expressed his love for his family in such relatable ways. I'm amazed at how invested I am in Robinsons idea of an ideal human colonization. It gives me hope for the future that I seem to want the same things as him, that we have in fact come a long way in the past few decades, if only in our minds. After all, as the great Maya Toitevna will once say, the fulcrum is in our minds.

Magnificent.
A truly magnificent story, and wonderfully narrated by Richard Ferrone. I highly recommend all the books in the Mars trilogy. I honestly dont know where to begin in how the imagination, research, and sheer vision of these books completely changed the course of my life. And as someone who retrained as a geoscientist as a result of this series, I dont say that lightly. Please, do yourselves a favour and take the time to listen to the messages within it.

Great story of future Mars (and Earth!) history
The second in the Mars trilogy explores the future colonisation and terraforming of Mars. Great science and plotting, making a gripping read. Like a lot of stories that take an epic view, often the characterisation is a little flat, making engagement of the character care factor a little challenging, but that might be just me. I really enjoyed the grand scale of the story, because of the fantastic climax (like the first novel) and the science. A great read.

Great continuation saga
Just as good if not better than the books! When I has this in book form I read all three (red, green, and blue mars) in one night, that's how enraptured I was. This was a great performance on an already great book saga! Thank you!

If a Uni research paper and the speaking clock had a baby…
As a thought experiment for the colonisation of Mars; this is prophetically brilliant. It’s detailed, smart and well researched.
As an engaging novel, it’s rubbish. The plot is like a Monet: landscapes with broad brushstrokes that really only come into focus at a distance.
The characterisation is superficial and simple; everyone is faceless. Switch around their names and nothing changes. It’s like having a highly rendered, beautiful open world computer game, solely populated with 8bit NPC’s that make early 2000’s Sims characters seem deep. They are all in service to the description of the concept, whereas truly engaging storytelling should be the other way around. There is a reason why this deeply cerebral book doesn’t seem to have captured the cultural zeitgeist.
Im dreading going back to Mars to finish the trilogy.

Good storyline but way too detailed
The overall storyline and plot are really good but in some parts it gets lost in such a level of detail that it loses the pace.

this drags on forever
after greatly enjoying the first book I was rather looking forward to this, but how I've been disappointed. There is no real story developed, just endless events....then they gone here, then they drive there, then...
