Marsjanin” to książkowy debiut Andy’ego Weira. Początkowo został opublikowany nakładem własnym autora, tylko w formie e-booka. Jego sukces zachęcił wydawnictwo Crown Publishers do wydania papierowej wersji, a autora do sprzedania studiu Fox praw do ekranizacji. W 2015 roku premierę miał film na podstawie powieści, z Mattem Damonem w roli głównej.
Niedaleka przyszłość. Załogowe loty na Marsa stały się faktem. NASA we współpracy z Europejską Agencją Kosmiczną wysłała już trzy misje nazwane Ares. Trzecia właśnie niedawno wylądowała na Czerwonej Planecie. Nie wszystko jednak idzie zgodnie z planem...

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.

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