About this book

"Except that right now, he doesn’t know that. He can’t even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it. All he knows is that he’s been asleep for a very, very long time. And he’s just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company. His crewmates dead, his memories fuzzily returning, Ryland realizes that an impossible task now confronts him. Hurtling through space on this tiny ship, it’s up to him to puzzle out an impossible scientific mystery—and conquer an extinction-level threat to our species. And with the clock ticking down and the nearest human being light-years away, he’s got to do it all alone. Or does he?"-- Provided by Amazon

About Andy Weir

Andy Weir built a career as a software engineer until the success of his first published novel, THE MARTIAN, allowed him to live out his dream of writing fulltime. He is a lifelong space nerd and a devoted hobbyist of subjects such as relativistic physics, orbital mechanics, and the history of manned spaceflight. He also mixes a mean cocktail. He lives in California.

<div>I enjoyed this book so much! Gets sciencey at times but you don’t have to understand it all to follow the book. The ending, while fine, wasn’t what I was expecting or hoping for. Leaves me with unknowns and I don’t like that. But not enough to remove my 5 star review&nbsp;</div>

Sometimes too scientific and long winded to read at night when tired, but absolutely loved everything else. Humor, compassion and empathy, 🎵🎶, no ridiculous unnecessary romance storyline. Picturing Ryan Gosling didn’t hurt, though.
