MOVING MARS

Fifty years of Martian colonization are revealed through the experiences and reflections of Casseia Majumdar, a Martian woman who evolves from rebel to planetary leader to outcast. Sharon Williams fails to capture the work's psychosexual and political extrapolations, nor does she convincingly differentiate age and gender. She also doesn't enliven the philosophical and scientific portions of the work until the last hour and a half. E.E.L. ©AudioFile, Portland, Maine [Published: OCT 95]
