Deal Details
Various Retailers have The Martian: A Novel by Andy Weir (eBook) on sale for $2.99.

Thanks to Community Member CoralHill242 for sharing this deal.

Available from:About this book:
  • 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?

I love Andy Weir. The Martian, Artemis, and Project Hail Mary have all been fantastic.

If you haven't already read the book, it is well worth the $3. Andy Weir is a scientist turned sci-fi writer which makes it a mostly accurate book

I am not a reader, but I read The Martian (before the movie). It was a fantastic book. Project Hail Mary (soon to be movie) is great, and I am reading Artemis now. Andy Weir is very detailed and has a lot of science in the books, which helps bring it to life.
This book is fantastic, very easy to read and get into the story. Great price.

I read The Martian and listened to Project Hail Mary and liked them. Is Artemis on the same quality level?

I've heard people say it's the weakest of the 3 books, but I loved Artemis. I listened to the audiobook and Rosario Dawson does an amazing job bringing the characters to life.

I read this before attempting to watch the movie. I couldn't get ten minutes into the movie; the book is just that much better.

Well worth $3. Hell, well worth full price.

To anyone hesitating, I highly recommend buying this book. It was an excellent read, far superior to the movie.
