Description
A story of survival in incredible conditions, The Martian captured the imagination of thousands of readers with Mark Watney's log of his experiences alone on Mars. Presumed dead during an accident on Mars, Mark was left behind by his crew and stranded in a habitat designed to last 31 days. Striving to survive in uninhabitable conditions, Mark's isolation and desperately low hope is paired with perseverance and resourcefulness.
Ridley Scott's film adaptation of the book has been released, starring Matt Damon as Mark Watney. And the film is as popular as the book.
A survival story for the 21st century and the international bestseller behind the major film from Ridley Scott, starring Matt Damon and Jessica Chastain.
I'm stranded on Mars.
I have no way to communicate with Earth.
I'm in a habitat designed to last 31 days.
If the oxygenator breaks down, I'll suffocate. If the water reclaimer breaks down, I'll die of thirst. If the hab breaches, I'll just kind of explode. If none of those things happen, I'll eventually run out of food and starve to death.
So yeah. I'm screwed.
