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.

All he knows is that he’s been asleep for a very, very long time. And he’s just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company.

His crewmates dead, his memories fuzzily returning, Ryland realizes that an impossible task now confronts him. Hurtling through space on this tiny ship, it’s up to him to puzzle out an impossible scientific mystery—and conquer an extinction-level threat to our species.

And with the clock ticking down and the nearest human being light-years away, he’s got to do it all alone.

    I enjoyed this too. I never read the Martian but saw the film. Lots of people say this is too similar to that book. I enjoyed the science side of it, figuring things out. Recommended

    I read the Martian and loved it! I bought and read Artemis without any delay upon release and was extremely disappointed in the book. How does one compare to the other two?

      Unfortunately I haven’t read those other two yet and I don’t want to spoil this one but its very similar in many ways to the movie Arrival. The focus is mainly on the interaction between the characters.
