Got this ( written by Andy Weir) for Father's day and I gotta say I'm loving it so far. Plot is an astronaut is left behind after a massive sand storm causes the rest of the crew to abandon the mission - they assume he's dead. He isn't (not giving anything away as that is established on page 1.) So now he must figure out how to survive. Pretty technical in the begining but well written for this novice science guy to follow along. Not sure how all that will transfer to the screen but am looking forward to finishing this week and then seeing the film.
