I was a big fan of the first book, "Mars", when I first came across it back in the mid-90s so I didn't quite know what to expect from this sequel. It lived up to expectations, for the most part, although the "suspenseful" last chapters fell a bit flat, as well as the very contrived solution to the books main dilemma involving privatized space exploration. Still, much of the scientific content was engaging and Bova does a great job of putting the reader in situ in a very strange environment.
