'Blue Mars' continues immediately after 'Green Mars' leaves off, and moves further into the unknown: Where do we go from here?

This book was my least favorite of the three, as many sections take a turn toward fantasy that undermine the solidity of what came before. The strength of the book lies in the sections featuring the now very aged original characters, who are having to come to terms with their limitations. The final sections focus in on them, and lead to an ultimate section that is idyllic, uplifting, bittersweet, and satisfying in a way I almost didn't think possible.
