This collection of three novellas chronicles the dramatic events from the founding of the first Martian colony in the middle of the 21st century to the first election of the Martian Republic in the 22nd century.
From Vermont to Mars tells the story of ecological disasters on Earth that are the catalysts for the first emigrants to head to Mars.
The Red Planet Murders continues the story by telling a compelling tale of murder and the reluctant investigator, Achilles "Ace" Sloan, who must solve the crime amid social unrest on Mars.
The Martian Republic describes the political struggle between warring factions on Mars leading up to the first presidential election.
Together the three novellas are a sweeping cautionary tale of a grand social and economic experiment on Mars.

The second novella takes a closer look at the emergent society and it's workings, through the investigation of a murder, an unusual occurrence, which takes place in one of the two major habitats and the final one looks at the ways in which those with the power seek to hold on to it, regardless of truth, mirroring the political intrigues so well known on earth.
Because of the way in which the books are structured, despite the introduction of numerous protagonists and the passing of over fifty years in time, there is no confusion and each section, especially the latter two, are suffused with a slow tension. The narrator was very good in continuing the unemotional presentation. His gentle, very pleasant voice recounted the stories calmly, clearly, well paced and modulated: again, a little like a full background news briefing which made all that was told feel true, a piece of history. His different voicings for individual characters was also distinctive.
This is not a full action, battling book but the more thoughtful attempt at the peaceful building of a new society and the political tensions and struggles which develop. I was very fortunate in being gifted my copy of The Red Planet Trilogy by the rights holder, via Audiobook Boom. Many thanks. I very much enjoyed it and understand that further books are to follow. I will definitely continue to follow this series.
In the end, it's all just business.

The narrator, Richard Wilson, does a very good job here and I would listen to more of his work.
A copy of this audiobook was given by the author in exchange for an honest review.
