A galaxy-altering scientific breakthrough on Mars inspires treachery and revolution in this Nebula Awardâwinning science fiction epic.
The child of one of the oldest, most revered family-corporate units on colonized Mars, Casseia Majumdar has spent her entire life in the tunnels that run beneath the surface of her homeworld. As a young college student in 2171, the fifty-third year of the Martian settlement, she experiences a profound political awakening, and her embrace of radical activism only intensifies following a failed diplomatic mission to Earth.
Â
As she rises up through the political ranks back on Marsâwith tensions increasing between an oppressive âMother Earthâ and her rebellious âRed Rabbitâ childrenâCasseia soon realizes that an enlightened ideology alone will not save her planet and its people.
Â
But it is a staggering scientific discovery by Martian physicist Charles FranklinâCasseiaâs mentor and former loverâthat will ultimately reveal the depths of the perfidy of the âTerries,â forcing an imperiled civilization to alter forever the map of the universe.

A two-time winner of the Nebula Award and a multiple Hugo and Arthur C. Clarke Award nominee, the great Greg Bear has been called âthe complete master of the grand scale sf novelâ (Booklist). His Moving Mars is a masterful extrapolation of contentious humanityâs possible future and a modern classic to be shelved alongside the acclaimed Mars novels of Ben Bova and Kim Stanley Robinson. Itâs âas good as hard science fiction getsâ (The Oregonian).
