The Martian (Deluxe Edition)
This hardcover edition celebrates the #1 New York Times bestseller that set our sights on Mars and inspired the major motion picture starring Matt Damon and Jessica Chastain, with special features including: • Intricately designed sprayed edges • New cover art on a deluxe jacket • Full-color illustrated endpapers • A custom-stamped case A mission to Mars. A freak accident. One man’s struggle to survive. From the author of Project Hail Mary comes “a hugely entertaining novel that reads like a rocket ship afire” (Chicago Tribune). “Brilliant . . . a celebration of human ingenuity [and] the purest example of real-science sci-fi for many years . . . utterly compelling.”—The Wall Street Journal Six days ago, astronaut Mark Watney became one of the first people to walk on Mars. Now, he’s sure he’ll be the first person to die there. After a dust storm nearly kills him and forces his crew to evacuate while thinking him dead, Mark finds himself stranded and completely alone with no way to even signal Earth that he’s alive—and even if he could get word out, his supplies would be gone long before a rescue could arrive. Chances are, though, he won’t have time to starve to death. The damaged machinery, unforgiving environment, or plain-old “human error” are much more likely to kill him first. But Mark isn’t ready to give up yet. Drawing on his ingenuity, his engineering skills—and a relentless, dogged refusal to quit—he steadfastly confronts one seemingly insurmountable obstacle after the next. Will his resourcefulness be enough to overcome the impossible odds against him? NAMED ONE OF PASTE’S BEST NOVELS OF THE DECADE “A hugely entertaining novel [that] reads like a rocket ship afire . . . Weir has fashioned in Mark Watney one of the most appealing, funny, and resourceful characters in recent fiction.”—Chicago Tribune “As gripping as they come . . . You’ll be rooting for Watney the whole way, groaning at every setback and laughing at his pitchblack humor. Utterly nail-biting and memorable.”—Financial Times

Artemisa / Artemis

release date: May 19, 2026
Artemisa / Artemis
Artemisa es la esperada nueva novela del autor de El marciano, el libro que ha abierto la ciencia ficción al gran público, convirtiéndose en un fenómeno editorial en 40 países con más de 3.000.000 de ejemplares vendidos, y una película de gran presupuesto: Marte de Ridey Scott, con Matt Damon como protagonista. Jazz Bashara es una criminal... O al menos lo parece. La vida en Artemisa, la primera y única ciudad de la Luna, es difícil si no eres un turista adinerado o un multimillonario excéntrico. Así que hacer un poco de contrabando de lo más inofensivo no cuenta, ¿verdad? Sobre todo cuando hay que pagar deudas y tu trabajo como transportista apenas paga el alquiler. De pronto,Jazz ve la oportunidad de cambiar su destino cometiendo un delito a cambio de una lucrativa recompensa. Y ahí empiezan todos sus problemas, pues al hacerlo se enreda en una auténtica conspiración por el control de Artemisa que le obliga a poner en peligro su propia vida... ENGLISH DESCRIPTION NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER * From the renowned author of Project Hail Mary and The Martian comes a "propulsive" (NPR) tale of science, suspense, and humor--a heist story set on the moon. "An action-packed techno-thriller of the first order."--USA Today Jasmine Bashara never signed up to be a hero. She just wanted to get rich. Not crazy, eccentric-billionaire rich, like many of the visitors to her hometown of Artemis, humanity''s first and only lunar colony. Just rich enough to move out of her coffin-sized apartment and eat something better than flavored algae. Rich enough to pay off a debt she''s owed for a long time. So when a chance at a huge score finally comes her way, Jazz can''t say no. But engineering the perfect crime is just the start of her problems--because her little heist is about to land her in the middle of a conspiracy for control of Artemis herself. Trapped between competing forces, pursued by a killer and the law alike, she''ll have to hatch a truly spectacular scheme to have a chance at staying alive and saving her city. Jazz is no hero, but she is a very good criminal.

Project Hail Mary (Urania Jumbo)
Quando Ryland Grace si risveglia, sa solo che il suo corpo è collegato a decine di tubi, che gli oggetti intorno a lui cadono troppo velocemente e che i suoi due compagni di viaggio giacciono inermi nello spazio angusto che condividono. Poi, lentamente, la memoria riaffiora: si trova a migliaia di chilometri dalla Terra, su una minuscola navicella lanciata a tutta velocità nelle profondità insondate dell''universo in una missione disperata per salvare il nostro pianeta. A bordo della Hail Mary, Grace è consapevole che ha pochissimo tempo a disposizione per neutralizzare il misterioso nemico e che il destino della specie dipende unicamente da lui. O forse non è solo? Dopo il grande successo di L''uomo di Marte, Andy Weir torna con una nuova odissea spaziale, ricca di suspense, humour e sorprese. Finalista al premio Hugo 2022, da questo libro è stato tratto un film con Ryan Gosling: una storia di sopravvivenza, speranza e solidarietà.

I хоць умовы на ёй даволi камфортныя, ёсць адна вялiкая праблема: Марку пагражае галодная смерць. Але на шчасце, апроч абмежаваных запасаў касмiчнай ежы ў яго ёсць яшчэ дванаццаць бульбiн i трохi зямной глебы. Яго мэта — пратрымацца чатыры гады да прыбыцця наступнай мiсii.

Elhagyott part
Antológia a Sötét anyag és a Wayward Pines szerzőjétől! Egy VR-játékfejlesztő egy kódolási hiba következtében létrehoz egy szuperintelligenciát. A távoli jövőben emberek kis kolóniája visszaküld a Földre egy katonát, ám a küldetés nem várt fordulatot vesz. Egy megtermékenyítéssel foglalkozó cég a főbb tulajdonságok befolyásolása mellett már különböző projekciókat is készít a szülőknek, hogy születendő gyermekük milyen életre számíthat. 2019-ben az Amazon felkérte Blake Crouchot, hogy állítson össze egy hat történetből álló sci-fi antológiát az Original Stories-sorozatuk keretében. Crouch ennek alkalmából írta meg Elhagyott part című kisregényét, valamint e mellett bemutat egy-egy izgalmas novellát a műfaj elmúlt időszakának legismertebb szerzőitől. A történetek közt egyaránt található klasszikusabb hangvételű, Philip K. Dicket felidéző írás és olyan realistább gondolatmenet is, ami akár már holnap megvalósulhat. N. K. Jemisin Szükségbőr című novelláját Hugo-díjjal tüntették ki 2020-ban, míg az Elhagyott partot várhatóan Neil Burger fogja filmre adaptálni.

Em coletânea inédita de contos de ficção científica, grandes nomes da literatura mostram até onde somos capazes de ir para mudar o mundo Para alguns, a tecnologia é o prenúncio do fim do mundo. Para outros, é apenas o começo de uma nova era. Renomado escritor de ficção científica, autor dos best-sellers Matéria escura e Recursão, Blake Crouch convidou grandes nomes da literatura contemporânea para traçar histórias audaciosas que mergulham nos desdobramentos que os avanços tecnológicos acarretam à humanidade. Em “Summer Frost”, Crouch traz uma trama marcante que desafia nossa noção de humanidade enquanto assistimos à obsessão de uma programadora de videogames por uma de suas personagens. “Pele de emergência”, de N. K. Jemisin, explora a missão de um soldado em visita a uma Terra abandonada. Uma viagem potencialmente sem volta, mas pelos motivos mais inesperados. Em “Arca”, Veronica Roth mostra o poder das lembranças, que, quando coletadas e reunidas, são capazes de revelar o passado e também ajudam a construir o futuro. Amor Towles surpreende em “Você chegou ao seu destino” ao mergulhar na manipulação genética quando um casal se vê diante da possibilidade de decidir a trajetória de seu futuro bebê. “A última conversa”, de Paul Tremblay, é uma narrativa repleta de suspense que nos faz questionar os limites da consciência e de nossa identidade. Já “Randomizando”, de Andy Weir, fecha a obra com uma história eletrizante envolvendo cassinos, hackers e computação quântica. De potência criativa memorável, os contos desta coletânea se pautam em temas diversos, como inteligência artificial, colonização de outros planetas, engenharia genética e programação, para nos fazer encarar o que há de mais brutal e profundamente humano em nós e em nossa sociedade. Imersos em tamanhos medos, paixões, sonhos e ambições, vem à tona a complexidade de se estabelecer limites e de realizar escolhas diante da busca pelo futuro que desejamos.

Devoradores de estrelas

Devoradores de estrelas
Neste novo thriller científico de Andy Weir, autor best-seller de Perdido em Marte, um astronauta precisa encontrar sozinho um jeito de salvar a Terra da destruição. Ryland Grace é o único sobrevivente de uma desesperada missão de emergência — se ele falhar, toda a humanidade e o planeta Terra serão destruídos. Mas no momento ele não sabe disso. Ryland não se lembra nem do próprio nome, muito menos de sua missão ou de como cumpri-la. Tudo o que ele sabe é que dormiu por muito, muito tempo. E que despertou a milhões de quilômetros de casa, com apenas dois cadáveres como companhia. Com os colegas de tripulação mortos e as memórias confusas retornando aos poucos, Ryland vai perceber a tarefa impossível que tem nas mãos. Viajando pelo espaço em sua pequena nave, cabe a ele descobrir a resposta para um enorme mistério científico — e derrotar a ameaça de extinção da nossa espécie. O tempo está acabando, e o humano mais próximo está a anos-luz de distância, então Ryland terá que fazer tudo isso sozinho. Ou será que não? "Dois mundos em perigo, um astronauta competente (mas humano e cheio de falhas), inúmeros mistérios científicos para resolver, e toda a humanidade em risco. Qualquer fã de ficção científica das antigas (como eu) vai amar." — George R.R. Martin, autor de A guerra dos tronos "Ler Devoradores de estrelas é como ir em uma excursão ao espaço sideral com o melhor professor de Ciências que existe — e a tarefa da sua turma é salvar o mundo. Uma das viagens mais originais, envolventes e divertidas que já fiz." — Ernest Cline, autor de Jogador no 1 "Sempre fico impressionado com a forma como Weir escreve ficção científica de um jeito maravilhosamente acessível, sem comprometer nem a ciência nem a ficção. Um livro que posso indicar para qualquer pessoa com a certeza de que ela vai adorar." — Brandon Sanderson, autor de Mistborn

Érase una vez y otras mentiras / Cheshire Crossing
Una Obra maestra y mágica creada por la extraordinaria imaginación de Andy Weir y las brillantes ilustraciones de Sarah Andersen Cuando Alicia, Wendy y Dorothy dicen que han estado en el País de las Maravillas, OZ o el País de Nunca Jamás, nadie les cree. Así que las encierran en Cheshire Crossing, un internado especial, un lugar para "chicas como ellas". Pero las chicas como ellas tienen problemas con la autoridad. Pronto empezarán a viajar entro los mundos creando caos y despertando, de paso, un amor tan impensable como letal: el que unirá a la Bruja del Norte con el Capitán Garfio. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Years after their respective returns from Wonderland, Neverland, and Oz, the trio meet here, at Cheshire Crossing—a boarding school where girls like them learn how to cope with their supernatural experiences and harness their magical world-crossing powers. But Alice, Wendy, and Dorothy—now teenagers, who’ve had their fill of meddling authority figures—aren’t content to sit still in a classroom. Soon they’re dashing from one universe to the next, leaving havoc in their wake—and, inadvertently, bringing the Wicked Witch and Hook together in a deadly supervillain love match. To stop them, the girls will have to draw on all of their powers . . . and marshal a team of unlikely allies from across the magical multiverse.

Ale tohle trio teenagerek má potíže s autoritami a rozhodně není ochotné jen tak potichu sedět ve třídě. To raději přeskakují ze světa do světa a zanechávají za sebou pořádný chaos. Třeba tím, že neúmyslně seznámí Zlou čarodějnici ze Západu s kapitánem Hookem, z čehož se vyklube smrtící duo zamilovaných superzloduchů. Aby je zastavily, musí zapojit veškeré své síly... a sestavit tým nepravděpodobných spojenců z nejrůznějších magických světů.

Cheshire Crossing
In a one-of-a-kind graphic novel collaboration between the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Martian and the beloved illustrator behind Sarah’s Scribbles, Alice, Wendy, and Dorothy team up to save the multiverse, from Wonderland to Neverland and Oz. Originating as fan fiction from the brilliant imagination of Andy Weir, now brought to vivid life by Sarah Andersen, Cheshire Crossing is a funny, breakneck, boundlessly inventive journey through classic worlds as you’ve never seen them before. Years after their respective returns from Wonderland, Neverland, and Oz, the trio meet here, at Cheshire Crossing—a boarding school where girls like them learn how to cope with their supernatural experiences and harness their magical world-crossing powers. But Alice, Wendy, and Dorothy—now teenagers, who’ve had their fill of meddling authority figures—aren’t content to sit still in a classroom. Soon they’re dashing from one universe to the next, leaving havoc in their wake—and, inadvertently, bringing the Wicked Witch and Hook together in a deadly supervillain love match. To stop them, the girls will have to draw on all of their powers . . . and marshal a team of unlikely allies from across the magical multiverse. Advance praise for Cheshire Crossing “Deliciously funny . . . a shrewd and spirited adaptation that will leave audiences hoping for another installment . . . Andersen’s delightful cartoon drawing style meshes perfectly with Weir’s prose, allowing the work to broaden its appeal beyond middle graders to young adults and adults.”—Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

She grew up on the moon, of course she has a dark side... Jazz Bashara is a criminal. Well, sort of. Life on Artemis, the first and only city on the moon, is tough if you''re not a rich tourist or an eccentric billionaire. So smuggling in the occasional harmless bit of contraband barely counts, right? Not when you''ve got debts to pay and your job as a porter barely covers the rent. Everything changes when Jazz sees the chance to commit the perfect crime, with a reward too lucrative to turn down. But pulling off the impossible is just the start of Jazz''s problems, as she learns that she''s stepped square into a conspiracy for control of Artemis itself - and that now, her only chance at survival lies in a gambit even more unlikely than the first.

Drawing on his ingenuity, his engineering skills—and a relentless, dogged refusal to quit—he steadfastly confronts one seemingly insurmountable obstacle after the next. Will his resourcefulness be enough to overcome the impossible odds against him?

硬派科幻也能令人失笑出聲?看完讓人想緊緊擁抱理化老師! 只要看10頁,你就會知道為何國外讀者瘋狂推薦這本小說 ★ 《羊毛記》作者休豪伊大推:「幾百年沒看過這麼好看的小說了!」 ★ 繼《羊毛記》之後最紅的科幻小說,自費出版三個月賣三萬五千本 ★ 美國Crown出版集團重金買下版權,甫出版即登上《紐約時報》暢銷榜 ★ 二十世紀福斯影業競得電影版權 ★ CNN新聞網撰文介紹,小說甚至獲得美國太空總署NASA的認可與讚賞 「我從沒注意過火星上安靜得如此詭異。 沒有太空衣,沒有維生裝備運轉的聲音。連自己的心跳都聽得一清二楚。」 不過幾天前,馬克幸運地成為少數登上火星的太空人。突然颳起的強勁沙塵暴卻逼著他們不得不放棄任務,返回地球。幸好所有人都成功了。 除了馬克。 他被扯斷的天線擊中,刺穿了太空衣,吹進了暴風中。 同伴們誤以為他已罹難,情急之下只好將他就這樣孤零零地留在火星上。全世界都在哀悼,太空人馬克.瓦特尼英勇殉職…… 馬克的確是個幸運的傢伙,太空衣都破了,但他還沒死。真正的考驗現在才開始。他必須設法聯絡太空總署派人來救他,或是等待四年後的下一次火星任務。而為了生存,他的首要工作竟然是……在火星上種馬鈴薯?! 馬克能靠著他的科學知識活過1400天嗎? 作者突破科幻的框架,用獨到幽默創造出全新科幻類型 讓非科幻迷也能享受閱讀科幻的樂趣 從太空人到家庭主婦、從科青到文青皆愛不釋手 國內外各路人馬好評推薦! 【國外媒體也推】 - CNN國際新聞網: 「作者用文字建構出如同奧斯卡入圍電影《地心引力》一般的敘事張力。」 - 《科克斯評論》: 「聰明、有趣、驚險刺激、宅的剛剛好,作者說故事的功力高明,即使說了一堆科學知識卻一點都不會讓讀者想打哈欠,甚至讓人忍不住想像,現在火星上真的有個太空人吧!」 - 《出版人週刊》星級評鑑: 「非常優秀的第一部作品,詳盡的實驗細節描寫滿足了科幻小說粉絲,毫不冷場的劇情安排和角色塑造則擄獲了小說讀者的心,精彩的結局安排獲得一致好評!」 - 美國圖書館協會《書目》雜誌: 「看一個人如何運用自己所擁有的知識,在嚴苛的環境下堅強地求生,令人聯想到《魯賓遜漂流記》,只不過這次魯賓遜上了火星,著實演出了一場精彩刺激的科幻冒險故事。故事和人物充滿吸引力,書中真實且詳盡科描述算讓人幾乎就要信以為真了!」 【國外暢銷作家也推】 - 《羊毛記》作者、紐約時報暢銷作家/休豪伊(Hugh Howey): 「幾百年沒看過這麼好看的小說了!知識與娛樂兼具,小說所有的精采元素它全包了。翻開書之前最好要有準備,肯定立刻就會被吸引住!」 - 《超自然謎殺三部曲》作者、紐約時報暢銷冠軍/道格拉斯.普萊斯頓(Douglas Preston): 「好久沒看到這麼特別的『驚悚』小說了,感覺是如此真實又緊張,程度大概是《阿波羅13號》的十倍吧!」 - 《一級玩家》作者、紐約時報暢銷作家/恩斯特.克萊恩(Ernest Cline): 「威爾精心設計了一個『火星生存遊戲』,參賽者就是馬蓋先,這樣的內容整個打中我啊,怎麼可能不看!」 - 硬派科幻大師、雨果獎與星雲獎得獎作家/拉瑞‧尼文(Larry Niven): 「太空版《魯賓遜漂流記》,而且寫得更棒!」 - 《狂野時速》作者、紐約時報暢銷作家/派翠克.李(Patrick Lee): 「作者抓準了閱讀的節奏和張力,從第一頁到最後一頁都緊緊吸住讀者,而且內容實在描寫得太寫實了,差點就要相信這一切都是真的!」 - 《哥倫布軼事》作者、紐約時報暢銷作家/史蒂夫‧貝利(Steve Berry): 「主角是堅強又膽識的21世紀魯賓遜,只不過他跑到火星上了!要看這本書之前最好安排一下你的行程,因為你絕對不會想看到一半被打斷的!」 【專業太空人也推】 - 美國太空總署NASA專業認可 - 加拿大太空人、《一位太空人給地球人的建議》作者/克里斯.哈德菲爾德(Chris Hadfield): 「哇,我從沒想過會有這樣的情況!作者太有創意了,好像『馬蓋先』登上了儒勒.凡爾納的《神祕島》,我一開始看就沒辦法放下這本書了。」 【國內老師也推】(依姓氏筆畫排序) - 壽山高中歷史科教師/王偲宇 - 壽山高中數學科教師/林銘寬 - 臺大地質所博士、北一女中退休地球科學科教師/吳育雅: 「這是一本知識豐富也情節幽默的科幻小說,『在地資源利用_ISRU』是人類外太空探測很重要的策略,充分利用最少物資以維生、產生能源,重建居所並返回地球,這些概念全都在這緊湊的故事中發揮極致,實在太過癮了!」 - 壽山高中生物科教師/許玉青 - 北一女中生物科教師/潘彥宏: 「你能想像更糟的情境嗎?獨自一人被困在火星上,而且大家都覺得你已經死了!馬克.瓦特尼就碰上了這種狀況,還好他就像馬蓋先一樣,頭腦冷靜、思慮清晰而且雙手萬能。但是這些特質就足以讓他逃出生天嗎?一起來一趟緊湊、有趣,又能享受孤寂的火星之旅吧!旅程結束後你可能會發現,原來地球上的孤單,其實還挺熱鬧的呢!」 - 大直高中數學科教師/劉澤宏 - 台南一中科學班物理科教師/羅焜哲 虚擬的火星自救與營救行動中,運用了物理、化學、生物與天文知識。讀者除了經歷高潮疊起的劇情外,也不知不覺的吸收了大量的科學新知,是一本寓教於樂的好書。 【國內小說愛好者也推】(依姓氏筆畫排序) - 飛碟電台夜光家族節目主持人/光禹 - 文字工作者/冬陽: 「跟隨樂觀又聰明的太空人瓦特尼進行一場意外的火星求生任務,兼具電影《地心引力》的刺激險境和《宇宙兄弟》幽默趣味,這部小說實在是太酷了!」 - 獨立科幻奇幻撰稿人、英國利物浦大學科幻研究碩士/林翰昌 - 圖文作家/鬼門: 「從故事的開始就非常引人入勝,丟給了讀者一個令人摸不著頭緒的開場,原本擔心宇宙和太空船的科技情節會有些乏味,但其實不然,內文不僅好讀還帶些幽默,一旦開始閱讀就停不下來了!」 - Technews科技新報數位內容行銷總監/藍弋丰: 「在災難電影,或是各種求生節目中,當主角深入乾旱又一望無際的沙漠絕境,往往會說『簡直跟火星一樣』,那如果是真的流落到火星上掙扎求生,又會是如何?《火星任務》就是這樣的一個既充滿想像,又灌注了豐富的實際知識的科幻小說,讓人開卷有趣,又開卷有益。 對我這個年齡的朋友來說,科幻小說曾經伴我們度過童年,讓我們遨遊在廣闊無邊的宇宙之中,曾幾何時,隨著美蘇太空競賽的結束,以及挑戰者號太空梭事故,大眾對宇宙的興趣不再,科幻小說也隨之打入小眾的冷宮,這次《火星任務》原本在美國也只是『網路小說』,放在部落格上讓網友免費欣賞,直到有網友提議應該做個Kindle版本,才上了亞馬遜,以亞馬遜所設定的最低價格零點九九美元販售,沒想到三個月內賣了三萬五千套,引起出版社注意,出版後又得到二十世紀福斯電影公司的垂青,即將改編為電影。在此推薦這本《火星任務》給太空夢想不滅的朋友們,也期望這本特別的作品能為科幻小說再創高峰。」 【國外網友讀者也推】 - Amazon網站4.6顆星評價,3,500人推薦 - Goodreads書評網站,超過3,400人給予5顆星評價 Amazon讀者Josh: 「我喜歡作者的幽默還有他介紹科學的方式,讓我都想跟著一起去火星了!」 Amazon讀者Dan L. Motif: 「雖然我是個科學大外行,沒辦法保證書裡寫的百分之百正確,但我可以保證閱讀本書絕對是一趟令人愉快又刺激的冒險旅程!」 Amazon讀者James Lacy: 「亞馬遜自費出版的書大多是廢話連篇,不過這本是我至今買過最好看的一本。就像魯賓遜火星漂流記,主角馬克不只是呆呆等待救援,他從不放棄希望,靠著自己的智慧和機智(還有幽默!)在火星活下來。作者將極其複雜的物理化學用有趣又容易理解的方式,讓所有小說讀者都能享受其中的樂趣。雖然我買的是電子書版,但我希望它能被出版成紙本實體書,讓我擺上書架上和艾西莫夫、海萊恩、亞瑟克拉克一起收藏。」 Amazon讀者Akamai Okole: 「這可能是我讀過最歡樂的硬科幻小說,冗長又複雜的科學計算變得引人入勝,大量的幽默笑點讓這本科幻小說變得人性化,除了主角馬克之外,其他配角也都表現得非常不錯。幫自己個忙,買這本書,你得到的會比你想像中的更多(除非你討厭可愛的癟腳笑話)。」 Goodreads讀者Beverley: 「我不是科幻迷,買了這本書是個意外,不過當我開始看進去之後便停不下來。主角是個幽默樂觀而且堅強的太空人,我很快就發現自己在默默為他加油。這本書也許和你想的不一樣,沒有小綠人漫遊火星表面,但如果你相信科幻存與現實之間的可能,我會極力推薦你讀這本書。我不是常常給5顆星的,但這本特別的小說值得5顆星!」 Goodreads讀者Juliane Kunzendorf: 「我承認一開始看到這麼多科學算式,的確讓我有點嚇傻了。但撇開這些不說,故事本身還真好看,快速的節奏和幽默的筆調讓我忘了化學式的存在,我尤其喜歡作者營造出的火箭升空和救援任務時的那種緊張感。我覺得這是一本很人性化的科幻小說,因為讓我愛上這本書的,是書中栩栩如生的主角和配角們。即使不是科幻迷也非常推薦!」 Goodreads讀者Jason: 「一點數學、一點物理、一點心理學、一點哲學,還教你如何當火星農夫,還教你如何在面對困境時保持幽默,諸如此類,有趣又實用。我愛《火星任務》,我相信你看過也會愛上。」

Mars
Apollo 13 en Gravity meet Cast Away! Mark Watney is een van de eerste astronauten om voet op Mars te zetten. Hij zal waarschijnlijk ook een van de eersten zijn om er te sterven Astronaut Mark Watney is uitverkoren om als een van de eerste mensen voet op Mars te zetten. Hij zal waarschijnlijk ook een van de eersten zijn om daar te sterven. Nadat een zandstorm hem bijna fataal wordt en de overige bemanning, die ervan overtuigd is dat hij is omgekomen, zich gedwongen ziet de planeet te verlaten, bevindt Watney zich miljoenen kilometers van de rest van de mensheid verwijderd. Hij heeft geen enkele mogelijkheid om een signaal naar de aarde te versturen en zelfs als dat wel mogelijk zou zijn, zouden zijn voorraden opraken lang voordat een reddingsmissie hem zou kunnen bereiken. Bovendien krijgt hij waarschijnlijk niet eens de kans om te verhongeren. De dreiging van het defecte materieel, de vijandige omgeving op Mars of een simpele menselijke fout, kunnen hem eerder fataal worden. Maar Watney vertikt het op te geven. Gedreven door zijn inventiviteit, zijn technische kennis en een hardnekkig weigeren om op te geven probeert hij vastberaden het ene obstakel na het andere te overwinnen. Zal zijn vindingrijkheid genoeg zijn om tegen beter weten in te overleven? `Briljant, en uitermate meeslepend. The Wall Street Journal
