Product Details
- #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE A mission to Mars. A freak accident. One man's struggle to survive. From the author of Project Hail Mary comes a hugely entertaining novel that reads like a rocket ship afire ( Chicago Tribune ). Brilliant . . . a celebration of human ingenuity and the purest example of real-science sci-fi for many years . . . utterly compelling.-- The Wall Street Journal Six days ago, astronaut Mark Watney became one of the first people to walk on Mars. Now, he's sure he'll be the first person to die there. After a dust storm nearly kills him and forces his crew to evacuate while thinking him dead, Mark finds himself stranded and completely alone with no way to even signal Earth that he's alive--and even if he could get word out, his supplies would be gone long before a rescue could arrive. Chances are, though, he won't have time to starve to death. The damaged machinery, unforgiving environment, or plain-old human error are much more likely to kill him first. But Mark isn't ready to give up yet. Drawing on his ingenuity, his engineering skills--and a relentless, dogged refusal to quit--he steadfastly confronts one seemingly insurmountable obstacle after the next. Will his resourcefulness be enough to overcome the impossible odds against him? NAMED ONE OF PASTE 'S BEST NOVELS OF THE DECADE As gripping as they come . . . You'll be rooting for Watney the whole way, groaning at every setback and laughing at his pitchblack humor. Utterly nail-biting and memorable. -- Financial Times

Andy Weir All Books Editorial Review
"The Martian" is a thrilling and suspenseful science fiction novel that follows the story of astronaut Mark Watney, who is left stranded on Mars after his crew mistakenly believes him to be dead. The book is filled with techno-babble, chemistry, and math, but surprisingly, this doesn't detract from the enjoyment of the story. Watney's witty and smart personality, as well as his ability to remain cool under pressure, makes him an engaging protagonist. The main challenge Watney faces is how to survive until a rescue mission can reach him, as his supplies will only last for about a year. The problem-solving and life-saving adventures that follow are both intense and entertaining, keeping readers hooked until the very end. The author, Andy Weir, presents the story with humor and a breezy writing style that adds to the overall enjoyment of the book. Overall, "The Martian" is a seriously fun read and a must-read for anyone who is a nerd, engineer, geek, space nut, adventure nerd, survivalist, or simply a human. The book's clever problem-solving, suspenseful plot, rock-solid science, and hilarious humor make it a standout science fiction novel.
