The Martian
by Andy Weir
5 stars
(3 reviews)
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?

papapep reviewed El Marciano by Andy Weir
Un relat intel·ligent, divertit i -curiosament- prou curós a nivell científic
4 stars
Ciència ficció amb gran dosi de comèdia, ben trenada i -ni que sigui per un cop- bastant curosa a nivell científic. Evidentment hi ha ficció, però la part de ciència que «controlem actualment» no s'exagera, ni es porta a l'extrem i es fonamenta de forma prou digna. Un molt bon entreteniment, que et fa riure molt i et captura des del moment inicial.
