This boxed set features Kim Stanley Robinson's award winning science fiction novels titled the Mars Trilogy. Visit the fantastic world of Mars chronicling the settlement and terraforming of the planet through the intensely personal and detailed viewpoints of a wide variety of characters spanning almost two centuries.

The three novels are Red Mars, Green Mars, and Blue Mars. The main trilogy won a number of prestigious awards. Robinson's first novel about Mars, is not set in this universe but deals with similar themes and plot elements. The trilogy shares some similarites with Robinson's more recent novel 2312, for instance, the terraforming of Mars and the extreme longevity of the characters in both novels.
