The best 'Mars' story I have read. Unputtdownable !!!,
By OoOoOoO "OoOoOoO" (Singapore) - See all my reviews
This review is from: MARS--RED PLANET (Mass Market Paperback)
There are many Mars sci-fi books out there starting from HG Wells' 'War of the Worlds' down to recent ones like 'Moving Mars', 'Green Mars', 'Blue Mars' etc. No one quite does it like Mick, though. I have read them all but Mick's 'Mars' is the most entertaining version:- a tightly plotted tale skillfully interweaving the myriad themes of first contact, post-collapse off-world communism, frontier 'cowboy' tale, cyberpunk, travelogue etc, an absolutely delicious and EXOTIC mixture, set on Mars no less, served up by the Master story-teller Mick. Any lesser mortal attempting such a mix would likely encounter utter disaster, whereas Mick achieved an utterly delight of a tight tight TIGHT read! Any tighter the book spine would burst apart! Whereas 'Moving Mars' was a lecture on quantum physics, 'Green/Blue/Red Mars' treatises on sociology and ecology, Mick weaves an unputtdownable thriller of unparallelled variety. WE WANT MORE MICK!! WE WANT MORE MICK!! WE WANT MORE MICK!! Anyone out there knows Mick's email? Tell me at cthulhufatagn@hotmail.com. I have been wanting to compliment him personally for a loooong time now. B-)

Gotta love anybook about MARS!!!!,
By A Customer
This review is from: MARS--RED PLANET (Mass Market Paperback)
An excellent tale of multiply threads that all come together at the end. Marvelous creativity in writing about prisoners, military enhanced humans, refueling stations that are unmanned, and alien intelligence. Makes Total Recall (the book) shallow and single threaded. Once again an interesting look at what could be, or what may be!!!
