Hat nappal ezelőtt Mark Watney az elsők között érkezett a Marsra. Most úgy fest, hogy ő lesz az első ember, aki ott is hal meg.
Miután csaknem végez vele egy porvihar, ami evakuációra kényszeríti az őt halottnak gondoló társait, Mark a Marson ragad. Még arra is képtelen, hogy üzenetet küldjön a Földre, és tudassa a világgal, hogy életben van – de még ha üzenhetne is, a készletei elfogynának, mielőtt egy mentőakció a segítségére siethetne.
Bár valószínűleg úgysem lesz ideje éhen halni. Sokkal valószínűbb, hogy még azelőtt vesztét okozzák a sérült berendezések, a könyörtelen környezet vagy egyszerűen csak a jó öreg „emberi tényező”.
De Mark nem hajlandó feladni. Találékonyságát, mérnöki képességeit és az élethez való hajthatatlan, makacs ragaszkodását latba vetve, rendíthetetlenül állja a sarat a számtalan leküzdhetetlennek tűnő akadállyal szemben. Vajon elegendőnek bizonyul-e leleményessége a lehetetlen véghezviteléhez?

Freaking loved every page of it!
Fun and entertaining.
The Martian by Andy Weir was an absolute joy to consume. I'm a space nerd all the way to my molten core and this thing had me on the edge of my seat. Sometimes I was a step ahead of the plot, but much of the time I wasn't. This is was the perfect balance of detail and accurate science to give me a mental picture and a realistic plot to pull me along. Damnit that was a good book.

This book is an absolutely incredible mix of great storytelling and real science. We need much more of this kind of science fiction and a bit less of the trending dystopian kind.
What are you waiting for? Go read this book. Very engrossing, a lot of fun.

Would have wanted to know more about their return trip to Earth.
Yeah, it's that good. I couldn't put it down.

Good story with a funny protagonist.
Was okay, but some of the writing seemed a bit goofy and unrealistic.
