A galaxy-altering scientific breakthrough on Mars inspires treachery and revolution in this Nebula Award-winning 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.

As she rises up through the political ranks back on Mars-with tensions increasing between an oppressive "Mother Earth" and her rebellious "Red Rabbit" children-Casseia soon realizes that an enlightened ideology alone will not save her planet and its people.

But it is a staggering scientific discovery by Martian physicist Charles Franklin-Casseia's mentor and former lover-that will ultimately reveal the depths of the perfidy of the "Terries," 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 "the complete master of the grand scale sf novel" ( Booklist). His Moving Mars is a masterful extrapolation of contentious humanity's possible future and a modern classic to be shelved alongside the acclaimed Mars novels of Ben Bova and Kim Stanley Robinson. It's "as good as hard science fiction gets" ( The Oregonian).
