M. A. Levesque on Amazon wrote:Thoroughly enjoyed this series, and could really imagine a colony could happen as she described it. Hard to put down and would recommend.
cany58 on Amazon wrote:If you ever imagined what human settlement on Mars might be like, these books will give you a very realistic sense of how we would evolve there over multiple generations. Each book has a very different set of characters dealing with different issues and circumstances at their stage of settlement, and build upon each other. Having studied different aspects of Mars, including its planetary formation, current geography, and how humans would settle there, I feel like Kate really nailed it for realism. All the books are enjoyable reading.
This is a very believable and realistic hard sci fi series about the colonization of Mars. Each book covers a different, later generation in the colony, and so each book focuses on a different colonist and has a (mostly) different cast of characters. This was very well done - by moving forward one or more generations for each successive book, you can see how the colony has learned, changed, adapted, and expanded over time. If you like hard sci fi, and especially if you are fascinated with Mars and the idea of a future Mars colony, I would highly recommend this series.
