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?

Wow what a super exciting story. I just finished reading this book and simply could not put it down. The devastating circumstances make you believe from page one, that there is no hope at all, but the sense of humour and sheer tenacity of the main character, is astounding. He makes you laugh out loud, he makes you cry, he keeps you holding your breath throughout!
Well worth the read. Just brilliant!
