安迪·威尔 (Andy Weir),从15岁起就被美国国家实验室聘为软件工程师。执着的太空宅男,沉迷于相对论物理、轨道力学和载人飞船。《火星救援》是他的处女作。
2009年,安迪·威尔陆续将他的小说《火星救援》贴在自己的个人网站上,供人免费阅读。在众多读者的强烈要求下,他在亚马逊平台上发布了作品,收费0.99美金,哪知花钱买他小说的读者比免费阅读的读者更多。2013年3月,兰登书屋以六位数买下小说的版权。仅仅四天后,安迪·威尔又接到了来自20世纪福克斯电影公司的橄榄枝。2015年,由大导演雷德利·斯科特执导、马特·达蒙主演的电影《火星救援》将于10月2日上映,更是激发了这本小说的购买热潮,直接将它推向了《纽约时报》畅销书榜的榜首位置。

评的不是原著,而是翻译。 是谁说的靠谱的?啊? 其实译本刚出来的时候就想写了,不过拖到了现在。 并没有购买中文版,只是对比了豆瓣阅读试读提供节选的。读完之后导致我对所有中翻都产生了怀疑…… 第一感觉就是,这个版本译者翻译的风格真是……诘屈聱牙啊。 第二感觉是...
评分这是一部科幻小说,我以个人的角度说说这本书的几个看点。 这部小说以第一人称为主讲述了主角孤身一人困在火星近549(火星)天,最后通过自己的技能求得救助的故事。 抛开具体的内容不说,这本小说就写了这么一个事情。而且单凭笔者的这句介绍来看,大家可能会以为这么一个绝...
评分安迪威尔?何许人也?真是不知道啊!读完《火星救援》突然感到这就像个邻家的深宅好哥们儿一样。一个优秀的码农,一个死宅太空男,哈哈哈...真是有幸在今年的深秋认识这样一个有意思的人。 仿佛就像是这样一个暖和的秋天,安迪敲开家门约我一起来一段火星的穿越之旅。唉,好吧....

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?

“Brilliant…a celebration of human ingenuity [and] the purest example of real-science sci-fi for many years…Utterly compelling.”--Wall Street Journal
“Terrific stuff, a crackling good read that devotees of space travel will devour like candy…succeeds on several levels and for a variety of reasons, not least of which is its surprising plausibility.”—USA Today
“An impressively geeky debut…the technical details keep the story relentlessly precise and the suspense ramped up. And really, how can anyone not root for a regular dude to prove the U-S-A still has the Right Stuff?”--Entertainment Weekly
“Gripping…[features] a hero who can solve almost every problem while still being hilarious. It’s hard not to be swept up in [Weir’s] vision and root for every one of these characters. Grade: A.”—AVClub.com
“Andy Weir delivers with The Martian...a story for readers who enjoy thrillers, science fiction, non-fiction, or flat-out adventure [and] an authentic portrayal of the future of space travel.”--Associated Press
"A gripping tale of survival in space [that] harkens back to the early days of science fiction by masters such as Robert Heinlein, Isaac Asimov and Arthur C. Clarke."--San Jose Mercury News
“One of the best thrillers I’ve read in a long time. It feels so real it could almost be nonfiction, and yet it has the narrative drive and power of a rocket launch. This is Apollo 13 times ten.”
--Douglas Preston, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Impact and Blasphemy
“A book I just couldn’t put down! It has the very rare combination of a good, original story, interestingly real characters and fascinating technical accuracy…reads like “MacGyver” meets “Mysterious Island.”
--Astronaut Chris Hadfield, Commander of the International Space Station and author of An Astronaut’s Guide to Life on Earth
"The best book I've read in ages. Clear your schedule before you crack the seal. This story will take your breath away faster than a hull breech. Smart, funny, and white-knuckle intense, The Martian is everything you want from a novel."
--Hugh Howey, New York Times bestselling author of Wool
“The Martian kicked my ass! Weir has crafted a relentlessly entertaining and inventive survival thriller, a MacGyver-trapped-on-Mars tale that feels just as real and harrowing as the true story of Apollo 13.”
—Ernest Cline, New York Times bestselling author of Ready Player One
“Gripping…shapes up like Defoe’s Robinson Crusoe as written by someone brighter.”
--Larry Niven, multiple Hugo and Nebula Award-winning author of the Ringworld series and Lucifer’s Hammer
“Humankind is only as strong as the challenges it faces, and The Martian pits human ingenuity (laced with more humor than you’d expect) against the greatest endeavor of our time — survival on Mars. A great read with an inspiring attention to technical detail and surprising emotional depth. Loved it!"
--Daniel H. Wilson, New York Times bestselling author of Robopocalypse
“The tension simply never lets up, from the first page to the last, and at no point does the believability falter for even a second. You can't shake the feeling that this could all really happen.”
—Patrick Lee, New York Times bestselling author of The Breach and Ghost Country
"Strong, resilent, and gutsy. It's Robinson Crusoe on Mars, 21st century style. Set aside a chunk of free time when you start this one. You're going to need it because you won't want to put it down."
—Steve Berry, New York Times bestselling author of The King’s Deception and The Columbus Affair
“An excellent first novel…Weir laces the technical details with enough keen wit to satisfy hard science fiction fan and general reader alike [and] keeps the story escalating to a riveting conclusion.”—Publisher’s Weekly (starred)
"Riveting...a tightly constructed and completely believable story of a man's ingenuity and strength in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds."--Booklist
“Sharp, funny and thrilling, with just the right amount of geekery…Weir displays a virtuosic ability to write about highly technical situations without leaving readers far behind. The result is a story that is as plausible as it is compelling.”—Kirkus
"Weir combines the heart-stopping with the humorous in this brilliant debut novel...by placing a nail-biting life-and-death situation on Mars and adding a snarky and wise-cracking nerdy hero, Weir has created the perfect mix of action and space adventure."--Library Journal (starred)
“A perfect novel in almost every way, The Martian may already have my vote for best book of 2014.”—Crimespree Magazine
“A page-turning thriller…this survival tale with a high-tech twist will pull you right in.”—Suspense Magazine
From the Hardcover edition.
A sensational read, could almost imagine Matt Damon fighting his ass off while furiously typing out cheeky and sarcastic blogs, only to keep himself from utter madness. Even if I've peeped the end, and guess what, a happy ending that is, I'm still super nervous every step of the way! It's really been a great delight, and damn, Mark rocks!
评分可能会成为我从头到尾读完的第一部英文原版小说!因为真的很好读!几度看到要落泪。期待10月份的电影。
评分太吸引人了,太喜欢主角了。整本书两天半看完,边上同样被困外星的泰勒给我发了一千条信息,最后嫌泰勒烦删了他。泰勒你学学人家。
评分读的德语版本-Der Marsianer.细节比电影多了很多。对男主自带吐槽的属性不太感冒,在火星上的日志还挺有说服力挺真实的,但也有很多感觉为了戏剧冲突而设置的“意外”,但这些意外也因为读者早就预感到的结局而少了很多紧张感。NASA和其他宇航员的描写比起来真是不走心,感觉像是为了过剧情随便写着玩的。剧本感很强,感觉是分镜都已经写好了,怪不得适合拍成电影。电影上感觉男主比较游刃有余,情况不是那么险恶。但书里男主在Wohnkuppel里的应该是万分恶劣了,几乎所有地方是泥(还混着屎),湿度又超级大,炸过漏气过冻过,应该和贫民窟有一拼。B1或者B2难度,主要是专业词汇比较多。
评分无可否认,Andy Weir的这部小说里的确存在着“nerdy blog”要素,但这并不构成写作上的罪过,因为网络时代的作家们是必然要经历这一“业余”阶段的。相反,Andy Weir的小说并非当下常见的关于某部科幻小说的科幻小说的科幻小说……一个永不终结的科幻语境封闭形态。它仅仅是巧妙地比一般读者的常识高出了一点,但这一点正是当代科幻所急需的,一段坚实的、既不太远也不太近的想象空间。
