Martian

The Martian by Andy Weir is a razor-sharp science fiction survival story that turns hard science into page-turning tension, with plenty of dry humour along the way. If you like problem-solving under pressure and stories that respect the maths, this one’s hard to put down. Astronaut Mark Watney is left behind on Mars after a storm forces his crew to evacuate, believing he’s dead. With no way to contact Earth and limited supplies, he has to improvise—using engineering know-how, botany, and sheer stubbornness—to stay alive in an unforgiving environment. Meanwhile, the consequences of one man’s predicament ripple far beyond the red planet. Perfect for readers who enjoy space exploration, near-future thrillers, and smart, character-driven adventures with a big-hearted streak, as well as fans of the film who want the richer detail of the novel.
