Moving Mars is a generally good story. The protagonist is not the most believable strong female I've ever come across, but she's pretty good.

Casseia Majumdar gets interested in politics as a student involved in protests. She develops relationships that will impact her entire life at this time. She is dedicated to a free Mars, and in time becomes Mars' Vice President.

The science is fascinating in this story. Interesting developments with nanotechnology and how it could be used to change how humans see the universe and live their lives. The development of a new technology that is literally capable of moving a world from one place to another is done quite well.

Mars wishes to become independant, rather than simply a colony of Earth. While some readers may not understand that urge, you have only to look back at history to see how likely such a scenario would be.

If you love action, the one problem you will have with this book is that it takes a long time for the main action to start. You spend about 300 pages learning about Cassei Majumdar's life and the background of the situation. However, I found it all quite interesting. If you love action, you will want to make it through to enjoy the last part of the book.
