I've read a few books like this and, aside from the short stories of Wernher von Braun, nothing comes close. This book takes you to Mars and into the future on a ship of scientific evidence and verifiable research as opposed to laser gun fights with alien zombies. It challenges the reader to think like an astronaut in both the mundane tasks as well as the "rocket scientist" ones . But most of all it shows the courage and dedication that's required to have a successful space program, and the potential for such a program to redefine mankind’s image of himself. It is truly a "love letter to science" p.s. You'll have difficulty sleeping until you completely finish this book.

I was introduced to this book last year and I encourage everyone to read it. It a short novel yet so good! This is definitely my favorite book. Audio for it is also worth a listen as well for a long trip!

Fantastic story that took me and did not let go. Honestly, I did not sleep much last night. Basic story: Man is left on Mars, fixes ridiculous many faults and ... sorry telling you more about the story would spoil the fun for you. Best read in a while.
