Moving Mars
by Greg Bear
Summary
Told through the memories of Casseia Majumdar, this novel charts a Martian colony's struggle for independence from an Earth that treats it as a possession. As political conflict escalates, a breakthrough in physics offers Mars a startling and radical means of asserting its freedom. Bear blends political drama with cutting edge speculative science to explore identity, sovereignty, and the bond between a person and her world.
