Synopsis "The Martian"

This hardcover edition celebrates the No. 1 New York Times bestseller that set our sights on Mars and inspired the major motion picture starring Matt Damon and Jessica Chastain, with special features including:• Intricately designed sprayed edges• New cover art on a deluxe jacket• Full-color illustrated endpapers• A custom-stamped caseA mission to Mars. A freak accident. One man’s struggle to survive. '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'A hugely entertaining novel [that] reads like a rocket ship afire . . . Weir has fashioned in Mark Watney one of the most appealing, funny, and resourceful characters in recent fiction.' Chicago Tribune'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
