Doesn't the space elevator attack happen in Red Mars not Blue Mars?


I happily defer. I've reread the trilogy 6 times now and they do all blur together a bit.

You look to be right:

There's a terrorist attack, sorta, in latter book, but Red Mars was admittedly a legitimate military strike, as was destruction of Phobos.
