A novel about a novel. Mars Terraformer pioneer writes a novel about a future terraformed Mars. There is not one character that is worth caring about or even likeable. A real piece o' junk.

A lost classic of New Wave SF? Fans of Gene Wolfe, Jack Vance, Samuel Delaney, and M. John Harrison will enjoy this.

The "literature" from the speculative fiction phase of the 70's has not aged well.
