Bandits end up striking the caravan, and though the two remain alive after the conflict, the manor and strength of the bandits weaponry prompt the two to begin investigating a mystery that seems far bigger than they could ever imagine.

The source of his brittle elation was the relative smallness of his misfortune. So Small God laughed a hollow laugh, and skipped away cheerfully. In the country that she came from, poised forever between the terror of war and the horror of peace, Worse Things kept happening. And the less it mattered, the less it mattered. Rahel has come back see her dizygotic twin Estha. In 1993 Rahel Ipe is returning to her childhood home in Ayemenem, where her great-aunt Navomi Ipe (whom everyone calls Baby Kochamma) still lives.

The Mars trilogy covers the first human attempt to colonize Mars, with a mission leaving Earth in 2026 (heh) with 100 colonizers chosen largely for their scientific and engineering skills. I just finished Red Mars, the dense 570-page opener, on Friday, and I can’t fathom why it won the Nebula or has spawned a cult following that appears to be leading toward a scripted series on Spike TV. Kim Stanley Robinson’s Mars Trilogy won a Nebula Award for the first book ( Red Mars), Hugo Awards for the second ( Green Mars) and third ( Blue Mars), and Locus Awards for the second and third, as well as a passel of other awards and nominations.
