Adult Fiction
Reviewed by Cathy-SCRL Director
Imagine being stranded and left for dead on the planet Mars? Mark Watney, the engineer on the Mars mission, is left behind after a dust storm forces the crew to evacuate the planet and return to earth. Using all his skill, determination and sense of humor, Mark tells his story. Growing his own food to sustain him is his biggest challenge considering he had to create soil in a very "yuck" way. Told in the first person, this story is both amusing yet intense as we follow the tremendous effort made by both Mark and the NASA team on earth trying to get him home.
This book is available in print, audiobook and DVD format in our libraries. It has been rated as one of the top 10 true-to-life narratives as NASA was consulted by the author to verify the accuracy of the science behind the story.
