Andy Weir: The Martian (2011)

    After a dust storm nearly kills him and forces his crew to evacuate the planet while thinking him dead, Mark finds himself stranded on Mars' surface, completely alone, with no way to signal Earth that he’s alive (Goodreads).

     Andy Weir's The Martian has to be one of the most well-researched science fiction novels of all time. Weir combines intriguing science with an extremely entertaining plot that, while seeming tedious at times, still adds to the suspense. Even back on Earth, readers are given interesting characters that they can't help but root for. Eventually, Watney's science jargon becomes boring, but readers are still excited as to what he is about to do, because with that much science involved, it's gonna be great! And it definitely is. A great cast of characters and a thrilling plot make this one a real page turner. 8.5/10
