Six days ago, astronaut Mark Watney became one of the first men to walk on the surface of Mars. Now, hes sure hell be the first man to die there., It started with the dust storm that holed his suit and nearly killed him-and that forced his crew to leave him behind, sure he was already dead. Now hes stranded millions of miles from the nearest human being, with no way to even signal Earth that hes alive-and even if he could get word out, his food would be gone years before a rescue mission could arrive. Chances are, though, he wont have time to starve to death. The damaged machinery, unforgiving environment, or plain-old human error are much more likely to get him first., But Mark isnt 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. But will his resourcefulness be enough to overcome the impossible odds against him?
