revolution Is Not A New Concept As Colonies Grow More Independent From Their Mother Countries. Bear, Author Of The Wind From A Burning Woman (audio Reviews, Lj 12/92), Uses This Scenario As The Backdrop For Moving Mars With Great Success. Combining Hard Science With Colonial Naivete, He Weaves An Epic Story Of Mars, The Colony, Against The Technologically Superior But Culturally Remote Mother Earth. When A Staggering Scientific Breakthrough Occurs On Mars, The ``terries'' Scurry To Regain Control Of Their Martian ``rabbit.'' The Chaotic Political Conditions Of The Martian Republic Do Not Enhance The Colonists Position, And Their Leaders Find Themselves Up Against More Than They Bargained For. Frantically Trying To Gain A Base Of Support From Their Constituents, They Are Backed Against The Wall By The Theft Of Their Technology By Earth. Forced To Make A Monumental Decision That Changes The Future Of Mars Forever, The Colonial Leaders Embark Upon The Ride Of Their Lives. This Production Is Well Narrated And Effective. Recommended For Public Libraries.-- Roxanna Herrick, Washington Univ. Lib., St. Louis
