The Future History of Mars - Part Three 2020: Mankind lands on Mars 2027: The first colonists arrive 2190: Beginning of illegal immigration from Earth The battle for Mars has begun… As Earth is cracking under the pressure of overpopulation, with too few resources, Mars stands as an Eden to be envied. Rifts have formed between the two most powerful factions on the planet's surface: the Reds who wish to keep the planet in its original, wilderness state, and the Greens who want to further terraform the planet for human habitation. The survivors of the First Hundred colonists, among them Michel, Nadia, Maya, Sax and Ann, have achieved their goal of political independence. Their stories are the stuff of legend to a Martian youth determined to preserve their hard-won gains. But now a civil war threatens to destroy all that humanity has done to create a blue and perfect Mars.
