Andy Weir: The Martian, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Beschreibung

The Sunday Times bestseller - Robinson Crusoe on Mars, a survival story for the 21st Century

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.

The Martian is featured in Richard & Judy's Autumn Book Club 2014

Rezension

"Watney's gallows humour and his brushes with death as he uses every ounce of his intelligence and astronaut's training to claw his way out of the pit will have you laughing and gasping by turns. I read this book in a weekend. I didn't think I'd have the time to - but Andy Weir's edge-of-the-seat storytelling didn't leave me any choice." Richard Madeley, Richard and Judy Book Club New York Times bestselling author of Wool

Klappentext

ANDY WEIR built a two-decade career as a software engineer until the success of his first published novel, The Martian, allowed him to live out his dream of writing full-time.

He is a lifelong space nerd and a devoted hobbyist of such subjects as relativistic physics, orbital mechanics, and the history of manned spaceflight. He also mixes a mean cocktail.

He lives in California.
