Green Mars
by Kim Stanley Robinson
Like most sequels, I found Green Mars to be less enjoyable than its predecessor. Red Mars was an adventure--the colonization of Mars--filled with plenty of sci-fi background. Green was just as geeky, but "explore strange new worlds" was replaced by meetings, politics and spiritual issues. (spi-fi?) It's also been over a year since I read Red, so it took me a while to recall the characters from the last book.
Good waiting room material. Lasted me a whole flight and most of a two week vacation.
