Journal The inspiration for the major motion picture 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
