Red Mars, Green Mars, and Blue Mars

trolls' bane · 02-12-2006, 01:46 AM

I'm completely astonished that there is not thread for these books! It's beyond my comprehension, considering there are people here who have read it.

Anyway, I read all three, and they are the best!

Now I have some questions to jump start the thread, and get some opinions on:
-What do you think happened to Hiroko?
Personally, I think she either died during the second revoloution, or she flew to the outer satellites and beyond. I like the second explanation better.

-What happened? Who guessed Sax and Ann ended up falling in love? And who would have?
Certainly I didn't, though I acidentally read it somewhere else on the net, or at least that Sax loved Ann and didn't know it.

-What's your opinion on Reds and Greens? Which would you be?

Also, if anyone can help me list the first hundred, that would be helpful.

First Hundred:
1. John
2. Frank
3. Arkday
4. Nadia
5. Ann
6. Sax
7. Hiroko
8. Vlad
9. Ursula
10. Spencer
11. Phyllis
12. Michael
13. Maya
14.
...
101. Desmond ("Coyote")

I've read Red Mars and Green Mars twice and am in the process of reading Blue Mars.

I think that they're terrific books.

Searching on altavista on the three book titles produced 10000 hits.

There was this site called Red Mars, Green Mars, Blue Mars which I was trying to find, but no success.

As for Reds and Greens they're Radicals and Moderates, and then perhaps there'll be Softhearted Blues, if KSR ever writes more books about the place.

I beleive he did. There's a book called "The Martians," that includes stories about certain characters, and I want to read it at some point. I'm also thinking that his book, Antarctica, has something to do with the time the First Hundred spent in training.

I have that book The Martians. But I've heard talk about more books as followups to the trilogy. Like Yellow Mars, Pink Mars and so on. Perhaps that was just a joke.

So, Antartica, is it a good read?

I've read Red and Green. They were some cool books. I finally understand that obscure "61" reference that TB made in that paris riots thread.

as to the green mars, hoagland is ridiculous, and i shall say no more...

(i'm referring to his theory, no idea on the books

)

An ex-nasa scientist who claims that there are structures on mars that suggest intelligent life. eg. the famous face on mars. On his site he has a picture of a marsian rabbit that was in a marsian rover pic, with parts of the rover showing. He claims that nasa continually edits the pictures to remove any evidence of life of any kind.

Oh I thought he was talking a book character.

I know this is about the books, so a bit off topic, but here is some of hoagland's intriguing points. Who knows eh?

That reminds me of a recent article in The Onion of how Spirit has gottten tired of Mars and is convinced that Opportunity has found water on Mars but isn't telling anyone.

yeah, i remember the rabbit one...*referring to above*...that's some ridiculous stuff, eh?

trolls' bane · 02-18-2007, 02:07 AM

Well, Rohirrim, be sure to read Blue Mars.

I will have to look into this most interesting character. (As in non-character.)

Right now, I have to read the Cafe XVII to catch up at least somewhat.

rohirrim TR · 06-20-2007, 07:01 PM

Is this creepy or what? It reminded me of Red Mars immediately.
