But his current mission, going undercover in Nazi-occupied France during World War II, might be his toughest assignment yet.

Story
After the climate wars, a floating city is constructed in the Arctic Circle, a remarkable feat of mechanical and social engineering, complete with geothermal heating and sustainable energy. The city's denizens have become accustomed to a roughshod new way of living; however, the city is starting to fray along the edges - crime and corruption have set in, the contradictions of incredible wealth alongside direst poverty are spawning unrest, and a new disease called "the breaks" is ravaging the population.

Good concept poorly executed
Reviewed: 09-24-20
The production uses "radio" interviews featuring so much "interference" and static that the entire production is unlistenable.

We’ve been sending out messages for decades - but what if civilisations receiving our transmissions are not quite so friendly? Is it perhaps such a good idea for humanity to be drawing attention to ourselves like this?

Winner of the Nebula Award for Best Novel, Red Mars is the first book in Kim Stanley Robinson's best-selling trilogy. Red Mars is praised by scientists for its detailed visions of future technology. It is also hailed by authors and critics for its vivid characters and dramatic conflicts.
For centuries, the red planet has enticed the people of Earth. Now an international group of scientists has colonized Mars. Leaving Earth forever, these 100 people have traveled nine months to reach their new home. This is the remarkable story of the world they create - and the hidden power struggles of those who want to control it.

I have recently started reading and listening to Robinson's books and can't believe I ever hesitated.
A realistic, thrilling story, with great characters and an inspiring and exciting plot.
