## About this book

During a manned mission to Mars, astronaut Mark Watney is believed dead and left behind by his crew. Stranded alone on a desolate planet with limited supplies, he confronts impossible odds. His habitat was designed for only thirty-one days, and every system - oxygenator, water reclaimer, airlock - could fail catastrophically. Even if they hold, food will eventually run out. Watney must harness his engineering skills and resilient humor to grow food, generate water, and re-establish contact with Earth.

The Martian, volume one of the series The Martian: The international bestseller behind the Oscar-winning blockbuster film, is a masterful science fiction survival story. Andy Weir blends hard science with high-stakes action and adventure, creating a taut narrative of human endurance in space. This media tie-in edition celebrates the novel that inspired the Oscar-winning film, a gripping tale of one man’s battle against the harsh realities of Mars.
