Astronautti Mark Watneyn oli tarkoitus olla yksi ensimmäisistä ihmisistä Marsissa. Nyt hän on varmasti ensimmäinen ihminen, joka kuolee siellä. Ares 3:n miehistö joutuu hiekkamyrskyyn. Evakuoinnin aikana Markin avaruuspuku vaurioituu, ja muut luulevat hänen kuolleen. Mark jää yksin karulle planeetalle. Yksin Marsissa pohjautuu alusta loppuun nykytieteeseen ja yllättää lukijansa yhä uudestaan. Se on herkeämätön scifi-trilleri, jota lukee kuin tosielämän selviytymiskertomusta. Ridley Scott ohjasi kirjaan pohjautuvan menestyselokuvan.

"Yksi vuoden parhaista kirjoista." - The New York Times. Ryland Grace herää avaruusalukselta miljoonien kilometrien päässä kotoa. Seuranaan hänellä on vain kaksi ruumista. Ryland ei muista nimeään, saati miten on alukselle joutunut. Kun muisti pikkuhiljaa palaa, hän tajuaa tehtävänsä mahdottomuuden. Hänen on ratkaistava äärimmäisen vaikea tieteellinen arvoitus ja pysäytettävä vaara, joka uhkaa koko maapalloa. Ja hänen on tehtävä se yksin... Teos oli New York Times -bestseller, ja lukuisat lehdet valitsivat sen yhdeksi ilmestymisvuotensa parhaista kirjoista. Kirjan pohjalta tekeillä olevaa Hollywood-elokuvaa tähdittää Ryan Gosling. Andy Weir (s. 1972) työskenteli 20 vuotta tietokoneohjelmoijana, kunnes hän julkaisi kansainvälisen hittikirjansa Yksin Marsissa. Hän on ollut koko ikänsä avaruusnörtti ja innokas suhteellisuusteorian, astrodyna - miikan ja miehitettyjen avaruuslentojen historian harrastaja. Hänen teostensa käännösoikeudet on myyty yli 30 maahan.

The Sunday Times bestseller - Robinson Crusoe on Mars, a survival story for the 21st Century I’m stranded on Mars. I have no way to communicate with Earth. I’m in a Habitat designed to last 31 days. If the Oxygenator breaks down, I’ll suffocate. If the Water Reclaimer breaks down, I’ll die of thirst. If the Hab breaches, I’ll just kind of explode. If none of those things happen, I’ll eventually run out of food and starve to death. So yeah. I’m screwed. The Martian is featured in Richard & Judy's Autumn Book Club 2014

Filmaktuell bok av författaren till THE MARTIAN Andy Weirs sci-fi-klassiker är en Dan Brown i rymden. En smart och dystopisk rymdskildring för alla som älskade Interstellar. Ryland är ensam överlevande på det sista desperata uppdraget att försöka rädda jorden. Om han misslyckas innebär det slutet för mänskligheten. Men det vet inte Ryland, för han vet ingenting. Inte ens vem han själv är. Miljontals mil hemifrån, med endast två döda astronauter som medpassagerare, inser Ryland att han måste rädda sig själv, för att kunna rädda världen. Men först måste han ta reda på vem, eller kanske snarare vad, det är som plötsligt gör honom sällskap. UPPDRAG HAIL MARY handlar, som The Martian, om en övergiven rymdhjälte och den vetenskapliga humorns uppfinningsrikedom. Det är en sylvass, smart och dystopisk rymdskildring som bjuder på underhållande problemlösning och häpnadsväckande förvecklingar som tar oss långt bortom vår vildaste fantasi. Inget mindre än ett sci-fi-mästerverk! En känslomässigt intensiv och djuplodande roman som kommer att få dig att läsa hela natten tills ögonen blöder. (Kirkus Reviews) Ett fängslande porträtt av mänsklig uppfinningsrikedom och förmågan att överleva som leder till ett oväntat gripande slut. En riktig vinnare. (Publishers Weekly) Weir är tillbaka med besked Karaktärsbeskrivningar och dialog sprudlar av energi och romanen befäster hans plats som en äkta stjärna på sci-fi-himlen. (Booklist) Vecklar ut ändlösa vetenskapliga pussel där mänskligheten står på spel, [boken] har allt som fans av old school SF (som jag) älskar En roman som hade glatt Robert A. Heinlein och Isaac Asimov. (George R. R. Martin) Andy Weir är rymdnörden som fick sitt första programmerarjobb vid femton års ålder. Han släppte sin debutroman, The Martian, ungefär samtidigt som det upptäcktes vatten på Mars och boken gick raka vägen upp till en första placering på New York Times. Efter att ha sålt mer än tre miljoner böcker runt om i världen, och närmare 50 000 exemplar bara i Sverige, är förväntningarna höga på hans nästa rymdäventyr. Inte minst som det ännu gång handlar om en ensam hjälte som tvingas förlita sig på sin egen intelligens för att överleva. Efter succén The Martian filmatiseras nu även Uppdrag Hail Mary, med premiär våren 2026 och Ryan Gosling i rollen som Ryland Grace.

NASA-astronaut Mark Watney, botaniker og maskiningeniør, strander på Mars og har ingen kontakt til Jorden. Mark må nu bruge al sin viden om botanik og teknik for at overleve." Jeg er pænt meget på skideren. Det er min velovervejede overbevisning. På skideren. Kun seks dage inde i, hvad der skulle have været de mest fantastiske to måneder af mit liv, blev alt forvandlet til et mareridt.…Hvis oxygenatoren bryder sammen, bliver jeg kvalt. Hvis vandindvinderen går i stykker, dør jeg af tørst. Hvis Hab’et revner, vil jeg ligesom bare eksplodere. Hvis ingen af disse ting sker, vil jeg på et tidspunkt løbe tør for fødevarer og sulte ihjel. Så ja, jeg er på skideren." The Martian er en science fiction-bestsellerroman fra 2011 af den amerikanske forfatter Andy Weir. Han er sidenhen også udkommet med romanerne Artemis og Project Hail Mary.

EN ENLIG ASTRONAUT. EN UMULIG MISSION. EN VEJ, HAN ALDRIG HAVDE FORESTILLET SIG. Ryland Grace er den eneste overlevende på en desperat, sidste-chance-mission – og hvis han fejler, vil menneskeheden på Jorden selv gå til grunde. Bortset fra at han ikke er klar over det lige nu. Han kan ikke engang huske, hvad han hedder, og endnu mindre hvad hans opgave går ud på, eller hvordan han skal udføre den. Det eneste, han ved, er, at han har sovet i meget, meget lang tid. Og at han netop er blevet vækket, blot for at opdage, at han befinder sig millioner af mil hjemmefra, uden andet end to lig som selskab. Hans besætningsvenner er døde, hans hukommelse vender tåget tilbage, og Ryland indser, at han nu står overfor en umulig opgave. Mens han drøner gennem det tomme rum på sit lille skib, er det op til ham at lægge et umuligt videnskabeligt puslespil – og overvinde truslen om udryddelse af vores art. Og mens uret tikker, og de nærmeste mennesker er lysår væk, er han nødt til at gøre det alene. Eller er han? Project Hail Mary, et uimodståeligt interstellart eventyr, som kun Andy Weir kan finde på, er en fortælling om opdagelse, spekulation og overlevelse, der er en rival til The Martian – samtidig med at den tager os med til steder, vi aldrig havde drømt om.
