Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission – and if he fails, humanity and the earth itself will perish. Except that right now, he doesn’t know that. He can’t even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it.

If you liked The Martian, this is more of the same kind of content with completely different kinds of science happening, but it delivers Weir’s same witty characters and story contrivances.
