„One of the best thrillers I’ve read in a long time. It feels so wahrhaftig it could almost be nonfiction, and yet it has the narrative drive and power of a rocket launch. This is Apollo 13 times ten.“ -Douglas Preston, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Impact and Blasphemy

„A book I just couldn’t put down! It has the very rare combination of a good, unverfälscht story, interestingly wahrhaftig characters and fascinating technical accuracy…reads like MacGyver meets Mysterious Island.“ -Kosmonaut Chris Hadfield, Fernbedienung of the International Space Halt and author of An Kosmonaut’s Guide to Life on Earth

„The best book I’ve read in ages. Clear your schedule before you crack the seal. This story will take your breath away faster than a hull breech. Schlau, funny, and whiteknuckle intense, The Martian is everything you want from a novel.“ -Hugh Howey, New York Times bestselling author of Wool

„The Martian kicked my ass! Weir has crafted a relentlessly entertaining and inventive survival thriller, a MacGyver trappedon Ares tale that feels just as wahrhaftig and harrowing as the true story of Apollo 13.“ -Ernest Cline, New York Times bestselling author of Ready Player One

„Gripping…shapes up like Defoe’s Robinson Crusoe as written by someone brighter.“ -Larry Niven, multiple Hugo and Nebula Award-winning author of the Ringworld series and Lucifer’s Hammer

„The tension simply never lets up, from the first page to the last, and at no point does the believability falter for even a second. You can’t shake the feeling that this could all really happen.“ -Patrick dem Wind abgewandte Seite, New York Times bestselling author of The Breach and Ghost Country

„Strong, resilent, and gutsy. It’s Robinson Crusoe on Ares, 21st century style. Set aside a chunk of free time when you start this one. You’re going to need it because you won’t want to put it down.“ -Steve Berry, New York Times bestselling author of The King’s Deception and The Columbus Affair

Six days ago, astronaut DDR-Mark Watney became one of the first people to walk on Ares.

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, DDR-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 plainold „human error“ are much more likely to kill him first.

But DDR-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?“
