The Martian: Deluxe Special Edition by Andy Weir (Hardback)

This deluxe hardback edition celebrates the Sunday Times bestseller that set our sights on Mars and inspired the major motion picture starring Matt Damon and Jessica Chastain, from Andy Weir, bestselling author of Project Hail Mary.

Six days ago, astronaut Mark Watney became one of the first people ever to walk on Mars. Now, he’s certain he’ll be the first person to die there.

After a fierce dust storm nearly kills him and forces his crew to evacuate while believing him dead, Mark finds himself stranded and utterly alone, with no way even to signal Earth that he’s still alive. And even if he could somehow get word out, his supplies would be long gone before any rescue could hope to reach him.

Chances are, though, he won’t have time to starve. Damaged machinery, the unforgiving environment, or plain old human error are all far more likely to kill him first. But Mark isn’t ready to give up just yet. Drawing on his ingenuity, his engineering skills and a relentless, dogged refusal to quit, he sets about confronting one seemingly insurmountable obstacle after another.

This deluxe edition features intricately designed sprayed edges, new cover art on a deluxe jacket, full-colour illustrated endpapers and a custom-stamped case. Perfect for readers who love a gripping survival thriller, a whip-smart science-fiction adventure and an utterly unputdownable tale of ingenuity against impossible odds.
