This is a collection of science fiction short stories, cleverly cobbled together to form a coherent and very readable novel about a future colonization of Mars. As the stories progress chronologically the author tells how the first humans colonized Mars, initially sharing the planet with a handful of Martians. When Earth is devastated by nuclear war the colony is left to fend for itself and the colonists determine to build a new Earth on Mars.
I think UK edition title The Silver Locusts is more fitting to this book. I got very angry after each story in this book since it reflects true face of humanity, that will destroy any new world it discovers, bringing all problems and prejudices of Earth.
