Kage Baker's new novel The Empress of Mars reviewed by Green Man Review

Cat Eldridge of Green Man Review reviews The Empress of Mars (2008), the new full-length novel by Kage Baker. As Eldridge notes, The Empress of Mars
“certainly isn't the first novel that's the result of reworking a shorter work [novella “The Empress of Mars” (2003)], and it works brilliantly in both forms. Now the story in both versions is that of Mary, a woman who owns the only bar on Mars. After being found redundant as the xenobotanist by the British Arean Company, she and a few loyal Mars settlers work very hard to create a bar which in turn becomes a business empire that deals in everything from barley (and beer of course) to really big diamonds.”

The Empress of Mars was published as a limited edition by Subterranean Press in late 2008. A trade edition is scheduled to be published by Tor Books in May 2009.
