I don't usually follow/post much sci-fi/fantasy, but once the Asimov title in the US Kindle Daily Deal batch caught my eye, I also noticed Red Mars by Kim Stanley Robinson on the list for today at $1.99. The blurb says it's a winner of the Nebula Award for Best Novel, which sounds to a novice (me!) as if it might be worth posting. Also price-matched at Kobo US.

Winner of the Nebula Award for Best Novel • Soon to be a series on Spike TV

Discover the novel that launched one of science fiction’s most beloved, acclaimed, and awarded trilogies: Kim Stanley Robinson’s masterly near-future chronicle of interplanetary colonization.

For centuries, the barren, desolate landscape of the red planet has beckoned to humankind. Now a group of one hundred colonists begins a mission whose ultimate goal is to transform Mars into a more Earthlike planet. They will place giant satellite mirrors in Martian orbit to reflect light to the surface. Black dust sprinkled on the polar caps will capture warmth and melt the ice. And massive tunnels drilled into the mantle will create stupendous vents of hot gases. But despite these ambitious goals, there are some who would fight to the death to prevent Mars from ever being changed.
