Bob Zubrin has a new book depicting 22nd century Mars life, with scientific and engineering innovations and ascerbic attitude.

“You’ll marvel at possibilities, laugh out loud at clever inventions, and relish the tongue-lashing of our present times Zubrin delivers with high-velocity, clear prose.”
—Gregory Benford, author of The Martian Race

“I learned more about the science of Mars and the nature of freedom on the new space frontier than from a dozen straight-faced textbooks. And it’s funny. This is Heinlein on helium.”
—Stephen Baxter, international bestselling author of Voyage
