A brand-new production of Andy Weir's modern sci-fi classic, narrated
by the incomparable Wil Wheaton, and featuring bonus content from the
writings of Mark Watney.
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?
Wil Wheaton, who has lent his voice to sci-fi blockbusters like Ready
Player One and Redshirts, breathes new life (and plenty of sarcasm)
into the iconic character of Mark Watney, making this edition a
must-listen for both longtime fans of The Martian and new listeners
alike.
