Synopsis

Nominada por los estadounidenses como una de las 100 mejores novelas en la serie de PBS The Great American Read

Novela brillante, delirio ingenioso, con una mecánica del suspense que sorprenderá al lector una y otra vez. Una experiencia literaria excepcional en gravedad cero.


«La mejor novela de ciencia ficción en años.» - Wall Street Journal

Seis días atrás el astronauta Mark Watney se convirtió en uno de los primeros hombres en caminar por la superficie de Marte.

Ahora está seguro de que será el primer hombre en morir allí. La tripulación de la nave en que viajaba se ve obligada a evacuar el planeta a causa de una tormenta de polvo, dejando atrás a Mark tras darlo por muerto. Pero él está vivo, y atrapado a millones de kilómetros de cualquier ser humano, sin posibilidad de enviar señales a la Tierra.
De todos modos, si lograra establecer conexión, moriría mucho antes de que el rescate llegara. Sin embargo, Mark no se da por vencido; armado con su ingenio, sus habilidades y sus conocimientos sobre botánica, se enfrentará a obstáculos aparentemente insuperables. Por suerte, el sentido del humor resultará ser su mayor fuente de fuerza.

Obstinado en seguir con vida, incubará un plan absolutamente demencial para ponerse en contacto con la NASA.

Reseñas:
«Una de las mejores novelas que he leído en mucho tiempo. Parece tan real que casi podría ser no-ficción y, sin embargo, tiene la unidad narrativa y la potencia de un cohete. Un Apollo 13 multiplicado por cien.»
Douglas Preston, #1 del New York Times
«¡No lo podía dejar! Tiene la rara combinación de ser una buena y original historia y con unos personajes interesantes con una fascinante precisión técnica. Una suma de MacGyver y La isla misteriosa de Verne.»
Chris Hadfield, astronauta, comandante de la Estación Espacial Internacional y autor de la Guía de un astronauta para vivir en la Tierra.
«El mejor libro que he leído en mucho tiempo. Inteligente, divertida e intensa.»
Hugh Howey, autor de Espejismo
«Weir ha creado un thriller de supervivencia que no da tregua, entretenido y creativo, un MacGyver atrapado en Marte que se lee, se siente y se vive de manera tan real y terrible como la verdadera historia de la Apollo 13.»
Ernest Cline, autor de Ready Player One
«El marciano se perfila como el nuevo Robinson Crusoe de Defoe, pero escrito por alguien aún más brillante.»
Larry Niven, ganador de varios premios Hugo y Nebula.
«Fuerte y valiente. Un Robinson Crusoe en Marte en el siglo XXI.»
Steve Berry
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Nominated as one of America’s best-loved novels by PBS’s The Great American Read

A mission to Mars. A freak accident. One man’s struggle to survive.


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 the planet while thinking him dead, Mark finds himself stranded on Mars’ surface, 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 years before a rescue could arrive. Chances are, though, Mark 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’s not ready to quit. Armed with nothing but his ingenuity, his engineering skills—and a gallows sense of humor that proves to be his greatest source of strength—he embarks on a dogged quest to stay alive. As he confronts one seemingly insurmountable obstacle after the next, Mark begins to let himself believe he might make it off the planet alive. But Mars has plenty of surprises in store for him yet.

About the Author

Andy Weir nació y se crio en California. Hijo de físico e ingeniero, a los quince años fue contratado por un laboratorio de Estados Unidos, donde trabajó como ingeniero de software hasta que el fulgurante éxito de su primera novela, El marciano, le permitió dejar su trabajo y dedicarse a la escritura. Publicado en cuarenta países, lo que empezó como un debut autoeditado en internet se ha convertido en un best seller con más de tres millones de lectores gracias a la imparable recomendación del gran público. Es, además, el libro que inspiró la película Marte, de Ridley Scott, nominada a siete Oscar y galardonada con el Globo de Oro 2016 a la mejor película y mejor actor protagonista.

Hoy, El marciano está considerado un clásico instantáneo de la ciencia ficción que ha logrado trascender todos los límites del género gracias a su celebrado cruce de elementos propios del thriller con un gran rigor científico, lo cual permite a su autor divulgar, con enorme sentido del humor, la vida corriente en el espacio.

Weir es un apasionado de la física relativista, la mecánica orbital y la historia

de los vuelos espaciales tripulados.
