Publisher's Summary

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.

BONUS MATERIAL: This edition includes the following extras:

  • “Diary of an AssCan” - Mark Watney, new astronaut
  • “I Made It!” - A happy letter to Mom
  • “Car Trouble” - A somewhat sad letter to Mom
  • “The Earthling” - A postscript. *Available for the first time in this recording

As smooth as Acidalia Planatia.

I could feel myself on Mars. If that’s not enough, Nothing could be. Just an incredible journey. WOW! Yeah I’m not a big fan of the foul language but still I just couldn’t stop thinking about this book.

To conclude — well written & aptly voiced.

Really enjoyed the book.

The story itself is good. Sometimes I didn't really understand some of the technical stuff of it. Still, you don't need to understand all the technicalities to appreciate the story, which despite all the technical details is deeply human in nature. The narration is pretty great as well.

A fascinating trip to Mars!

A brilliant story with sound logic. The struggle seems so realistic and yet extraordinary. The narration does complete justice to the author's words. Definitely recommended!

Phenomenal story of human capability

I loved the Martian film and found it very possible and real to occur in the near future. And then I found this audiobook read by Sheldon's nemesis/friend Wil Wheaton! His narration as Mark was very impressive, just the right amount of fear and optimism and humour and sarcasm in the voice. I am happy this had the short tie-in stories that Andy Weir wrote later (I think soemwhere around 2015-2017) too. Martian is easily my favourite science fiction book ever!
