I have no idea if this page is worth salvaging, but at the very least this remedies the apathetic attitude toward alphabetisation and hides the many zero-context examples. Oh, and the circular link is gone.

''Literature/ColonyMars'' is a series of books by Gerald M Kilby, currently five in number. They are described as “fast-paced sci-fi adventures”, tending towards the harder end of the spectrum but veering towards applied phlebotinum as the plot demands
Tropes include;
* RobotBuddy - Gizmo, so much.
* ShoutOut - occasionally. Mia is told “it is time to leave the capsule, if you dare” at one point. The Biodome, and Gizmo’s first iteration are a fairly obvious reference to ''Film/SilentRunning''
* SpaceOpera - most of the time.
* SpaceWestern - “on Mars, there is no law but your own” leads to fairly free gunplay with [[LightningGun energy weapons]] at times.
* CorruptCorporateExecutive - pretty much all the corporate entities, one way or another. Book Five is essentially about a phase in which corporate interests are effectively out of control.
* PoliceProcedural - Books Four and Five have elements of this.
* AndroidsAndDetectives - Mia Sorelli and Gizmo, in Books Four and Five
* AtonementDetective - Jann Malbec recruits Mia this way
* ThePlague - the genetically engineered virus developed in Book One runs through various iterations of this, as the series progresses
* CasualInterplanetaryTravel - not quite, but a “space drive” of indeterminate type is used to cut the travel time from Earth to Mars to about two months, instead of six-plus.
* ColonizedSolarSystem - The Moon is also colonised, and asteroid mining is just getting under way.
* ConvenientlyClosePlanet - the “space drive” has this effect
* OlderThanTheyLook - the Pioneers, and any of the original group of Earth-born colonists who survive the virus.
* SpaceMarines - the COM mercenaries in Book Two
* InscrutableOriental - the Chinese expedition commander in Book Two
* KillerRobot - Yutu the Chinese expedition robot
