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

Fantastic Book
Amazing story. Haven’t seen the movie yet but I’ll be watching it soon to see how it compares to the book.
The voice actor reading everything does a really excellent job at emoting the adventures of an astronaut stuck on a foreign planet. His only downside is that he doesn’t change his voice enough for certain characters, especially female characters, but he makes sure to be clear who is speaking at all times, so it’s not too much of an issue.
Overall, I highly recommend this book.

The best one I have heard so far
When I found out it was another story read by Wil Wheaton I literally did a happy dance.
Forget the film I now love the audible story but again the film was also very good anyway.
There were parts when I caught the attention of my son “what are you laughing at?” so I played it back to him and he too laughed.
I loved how Wil did the voices and made it even more enjoyable. Please keep reading for audibles Wil Wheaton! I would love there to be another book just to tie up some unanswered theories of mine. But I am kicking myself still why didn’t I get this audible sooner do you know how many times I will listen to this now? Lots! That is for sure thank you Andy Weir I now have 7 audibles I listen to over and over and yes yours is now definitely one of them.

Mars tries to kill Mark Watney
This is one of the best audio books I've ever list.
This is such a great story and the science isn't boring.
