The Martian, by Andy WeirRead about the other books on the list.
A “MacGuyver trapped on Mars” tale that feels as real and harrowing as the true story of Apollo 13. Read it soon—the guy who directed Blade Runner is adapting it into a film.
The Martian is among Jeff Somer's five top sci-fi novels with plausible futuristic technology and James Mustich's five top books on visiting Mars.
