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. But Mark isn't ready to give up yet.

The novel The Martian very skillfully captures the attention of science fiction lovers as well as young adults. Andy Weir's ability is showcased by the exquisite portrayal of a story woven around a person who is stranded on Mars. The story covers the hurdles faced by Mark Watney when he is deserted accidentally on the surface of Mars during a space mission. He has to utilize the limited resources available and needs to reach a place from where he can be recovered.

Seis días atrás el astronauta Mark Watney se convirtió en uno de los primeros hombres en caminar por la superficie de Marte. Ahora está seguro de que será el primer hombre en morir allí. La tripulación de la nave en que viajaba se ve obligada a evacuar el planeta a causa de una tormenta de polvo, dejando atrás a Mark tras darlo por muerto. Pero él está vivo, y atrapado a millones de kilómetros de cualquier ser humano, sin posibilidad de enviar señales a la Tierra.

Mark Watney wasn't the mission commander of Ares 3, a month-long expedition to Mars. He was just the science geek, botany guru, and mechanical engineer: the lowest guy on the totem pole and the only one who didn't make it back to the ascent vehicle when the storm hit. Left for dead on the surface of a barren planet, Watney must plumb the depths of his considerable ingenuity and resourcefulness to find a way to survive - and to let the people on Earth know he's still alive.

Mark Watney è stato uno dei primi astronauti a mettere piede su Marte. Ma il momento di gloria è durato troppo poco. Un'improvvisa tempesta lo ha quasi ucciso e i suoi compagni di spedizione, credendolo morto, hanno abbandonato il pianeta rosso per fare ritorno sulla Terra. Mark si ritrova completamente solo su un pianeta inospitale e non ha nessuna possibilità di mandare un segnale alla base. E in ogni caso i viveri non basterebbero fino all'arrivo di una nuova spedizione.
