Warning: This is an independent addition to The Martian, meant to enhance your experience of the original book. If you have not yet bought the original copy, make sure to purchase it before buying this unofficial summary from aBookaDay. Mark Watney is a dead man walking. As a member of the Ares 3 Mars mission, he landed with five crewmates for an assignment meant to be a month long. Then the storm came, and the crew was forced to evacuate. Watney, presumed dead by the rest of his team, was left behind. Watney made it through the storm, but with communications wiped out, he has no way of telling Earth that he's alive. Even if he did, outfitting a mission to collect him would take years. He's run the numbers, and the odds are literally impossible. On Earth, and on the ship Hermes, friends and strangers alike grieve for a fallen hero, while alone on an alien planet where even the smallest mistake means certain death, the man they mourn struggles to survive.

"Great book! A blow by blow account of a true martian (American Astronaut stranded on Mars) and the whole world comes together to help and root him on! "
Katrina Mackey
"I think he has only written a few novels and a few short stories. Inlike the evolution of the creation of this story. It started ad a blog and his friends encouraged him to try to publish. "

"It was a deep look into things we might never be able to see. The perspective changes often too as well so it keeps the read fresh."
Trista Ransom
"The first line is the best. I can’t say I have a favorite part but my husband is a scientist and his friends are in different scientific fields so we had a lot of fun and interesting conversations about who would be able to survive as he did. It wasn’t my hubby we concluded. "
