How to Mars is Andy Weir s The Martian infused with poetry. Booklist
What happens when your dream mission to Mars is a reality television nightmare? This debut science-fiction romp with heart that follows the tradition of Ray Bradbury s Martian Chronicles, with a hints of the Hitchhiker s Guide to the Galaxy, the Real World, and Mythbusters.
For the six lucky scientists selected by the Destination Mars! corporation, a one-way ticket to Mars in exchange for a lifetime of research was an absolute no-brainer. The incredible opportunity was clearly worth even the most absurdly tedious screening process. Perhaps worth following the strange protocols in a nonsensical handbook written by an eccentric billionaire. Possibly even worth their constant surveillance, the video of which is carefully edited into a ratings-bonanza back on Earth.
But it turns out that after a while even scientists can get bored of science. Tempers begin to fray; unsanctioned affairs blossom. When perfectly good equipment begins to fail, the Marsonauts are faced with a possibility that their training just cannot explain.
Irreverent, poignant, and perfectly weird, David Ebenbach s exciting debut science-fiction outing, like a mission to Mars, is an incredible trip you will never forget.
