ANDY WEIR - GEBRAUCHT THE MARTIAN A NOVEL - PRE...

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE    A mission to Mars. A freak
accident. One man’s struggle to survive. From the author of Project Hail Mary comes “a hugely
entertaining novel that reads like a rocket ship afire” ( Chicago Tribune ).    “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   “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
