The Martian
火星救援
by Andy Weir
安迪·威尔
Six days ago, astronaut Mark Watney became one of the first men to walk on the surface of Mars. Now, he's sure he'll be the first man to die there.
六天前,马克·沃特尼成为了第一批行走在火星上的人。如今,他也将成为第一个葬身火星的人。
It started with the dust storm that holed his suit and nearly killed him, and that forced his crew to leave him behind, sure he was already dead. Now he's stranded millions of miles from the nearest human being, with no way to even signal Earth that he's alive--and even if he could get word out, his food would be gone years before a rescue mission 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 get 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. But will his resourcefulness be enough to overcome the impossible odds against him?
《火星救援》小说,因2015年10月2日,由雷德利·斯科特执导、马特·达蒙主演的同名电影上映,直接将它推向了《纽约时报》畅销书榜的榜首位置。
一场突如其来的风暴让阿瑞斯三船员被迫放弃任务。撤离过程中,沃特尼遭遇意外,被孤身一人丢在了这片寸草不生的红色荒漠中,剩余的补给也远不够撑到救援可能抵达的那一天。
当然,沃特尼也不准备坐以待毙,凭借着他的植物学家和机械工程师背景,他决定跟火星来一场不是你死就是我活的过家家游戏。
2009年,安迪·威尔陆续将他的小说《火星救援》贴在自己的个人网站上,供人免费阅读。在众多读者的强烈要求下,他在亚马逊平台上发布了作品,收费0.99美金,哪知花钱买他小说的读者比免费阅读的读者更多。2013年3月,兰登书屋以六位数买下小说的版权。仅仅四天后,安迪·威尔又接到了来自20世纪福克斯电影公司的橄榄枝。
这是我很长一段时间以来读过的最好的悬疑小说。情节真实,仿佛它是一部非虚构作品,但在阅读时,你又能感觉到犹如火箭升空般的戏剧推力。
——道格拉斯·普雷斯顿,《纽约时报》畅销书作家
