A Young Readers Edition of the Number 1 Sunday Times bestselling phenomenon.
Andy Weir built a two-decade career as a software engineer until the success of his first published novel, The Martian, allowed him to live out his dream of writing full-time. He is a lifelong space nerd and a devoted hobbyist of such subjects as relativistic physics, orbital mechanics, and the history of manned spaceflight. He also mixes a mean cocktail. He lives in California.
Andy Weir's masterpiece!

Watney's gallows humour and his brushes with death as he uses every
ounce of his intelligence and astronaut's training to claw his way
out of the pit will have you laughing and gasping by turns. I read
this book in a weekend. I didn't think I'd have the time to - but
Andy Weir's edge-of-the-seat storytelling didn't leave me any
choice.

Andy Weir's terrific 'lost in space' novel is an absolute page
turner from first to last ... Tautly-written, full of extraordinary
and fascinating detail about life in a frozen red desert so far
from home, The Martian is one of the best thrillers either of us
has read in years. Highly recommended.
*Judy Finnigan, Richard and Judy Book Club*
The best book I've read in ages. Clear your schedule before you
crack the seal. This story will take your breath away faster than a
hull breech. Smart, funny, and white-knuckle intense, The Martian
is everything you want from a novel.
