#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER ā€¢ ā€œBrilliant . . . a celebration of human ingenuity [and] the purest example of real-science sci-fi for many years . . . utterly compelling.ā€ā€”The Wall Street 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, heā€™s sure heā€™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 heā€™s aliveā€”and even if he could get word out, his supplies would be gone long before a rescue could arrive. 

Chances are, though, he wonā€™t have time to starve to death. The damaged machinery, unforgiving environment, or plain-old ā€œhuman errorā€ are much more likely to kill him first. 

But Mark isnā€™t ready to give up yet. Drawing on his ingenuity, his engineering skillsā€”and a relentless, dogged refusal to quitā€”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 PASTEā€™S BEST NOVELS OF THE DECADE

ā€œA 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.ā€ā€”Chicago Tribune

ā€œAs gripping as they come . . . Youā€™ll be rooting for Watney the whole way, groaning at every setback and laughing at his pitchblack humor. Utterly nail-biting and memorable.ā€ā€”Financial Times
