nigellicus 's review for:

The Empress of Mars by Kage Baker
5.0
adventurous emotional funny hopeful lighthearted medium-paced

After the collapse of a corporate drive to colonise Mars, an array of misfits, romantics and roughnecks eke out a living on the hostile planet, impeded and obstructed by the remnants of the corporation. Centring around the comings and goings of the characters at an eccentric family-run bar, this is full of charm and excitement and soap-opera famly dramatics.
