'ware the audio version of this one, worst narration ever... ( )

A young gangbanger accepts exile to Mars where he finds himself in a tense situation involving revolution against oppressive rulers. Excellent plot provided by Pournelle, realistic Mars-bound combat situation, a lot of fun. Recommended?

Not a bad book - good action and a likeable character. Some of the events are a bit tough to swallow but it is fiction after all. ( )

Reminded me somewhat of Heinlein's "The Moon is a Harsh Mistress" without all the lecturing & Mike. More action. Tightly written & interesting. ( )
