The Martian
by Andy Weir
About the Book
The Martian is beautifully written science fiction told mostly from the perspective of Mark Watney. Mark is a happy astronaut. He is the one put on the mission to keep everyone happy. He finds the best of every situation and is quick to crack a joke, but he has a problem... he is stuck alone on Mars.
How it All Happenned
It happened when a gusty sand storm hit while Mark was outside. The powerful wind was tipping their ship with no way to stop it. In the event, Mark was blown far away and lost signal with his crew mates. This left his crew mates with no option but to abort the mission and assume he had died.
Help Him Get Back Home
Follow Mark Watney through his amazing, heart-warming journey and... bring him home!
Review
I strongly recommend this book. It shows the science side of things and the writer Andy Weir puts you in Mark's perspective. My favorite part of this brilliant story is when the crew decides how they are going to get Mark back home.
