The Yellow Fraction von Rex Gordon
There are three colonization groups on planet Acorn. The "Blues" want to breed people to suit the planet, the "Greens" who favour severe Terraforming instead, and the "Yellows", not so highly thought of, who just want to use the place as a stepping stone to further exploration, in the hopes of getting a better planet.
Also known as "No Man Friday", this gem of a novel might well be titled "Robinson Crusoe on Mars" - although it is not connected with the 1964 film of that title.

This started off quite strongly by posing conundra about the nature of time and whether the future can be altered. The main part was quite interesting and reminiscent of Wyndham's The Chrysalids - as was the book overall with its emphasis on ideas rather than characters or plot drive. However, I felt it tailed off at the end when the narrator returned to the present time.
