Five notable books on Mars and beyond

One title on the Barnes & Noble Review's list of five top books on Mars and beyond:
Red Mars
by Kim Stanley Robinson

In this, the kickoff to one of the most celebrated of science-fiction trilogies, Robinson provides an intoxicating vision of how we might settle and transform our planetary neighbor. A cast of intrepid colonists are swept up in a truly epic-scale adventure, with a dash of utopian dreaming balanced by the author's integration of deeply researched science about everything from how to thicken a world's atmosphere to new drugs and treatments for aging.
