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. But Mark isn't ready to give up yet.

As good as the original version.

RC Bray is a legend, but Wheaton does a better Whatney. There I said it.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 32
Charlie has been beaten and left for dead. She's got hardly any life left in her. But for some reason, she just can't seem to die. A strange headache forces her to head north, towards the mysterious building known only as Facility 12 - where she quickly discovers that she is not alone. There is another Anomaly at the Facility, along with a suspiciously charismatic bot who says he'll do his best to "fix" whatever has gone wrong inside Charlie's head. But when the secrets of the Before mix with the dangers of the Nothing, it unlocks a power that could very well change the world.

Not getting a third book?
Reviewed: 11-29-19
Doesnt sound like an end is coming anytime soon for this series so it's hard to say dive in. It's a good book, with great characters, but with no conclusion and a number of unanswered questions I can't imagine anyone coming out the otherside satisfied knowing there likely wont be an end.

This is an Audio Drama, not an Audio Book.

Don't go into this with the usual reckless abandon you might normally use when starting a new book. That's the first point there it's not a book. It's a dramatization of a story from the point of view of one of the characters. this character happenes to be known for being a childish asshole. So you get music where obviously there would have been none, maybe some embellishment to the music that would have been heard, and lots of sounds effects since it's supposed to be a tv show without pictures.
But what you end up with, is a fantastic story that is both meaningful, and impactful while adding little to the main story which is a wonderfully respectful way for the production team to handle it. Then the cast delivers wonderfully while giving is this wonderful story. Kate Mulgrew was fantastic, and Zachary Quinto pulled off the perfect punchable asshole.
Do to summarize, if you can't handle some pew pew, or extended musical interlude. Don't buy this its not for you, and that's fine. I'm sure you'll be filled in on the major details early in the next book, with the rest filled out as needed for tiy ti eventually have to put together on your own.
Please bring us more of theae, if only for more Kate as Nagatha.

Good series that doesn't get its ending.

Really enjoyed it, but finding the 3rd book hasn't been recorded sucked. Pick it up if you don't mind reading the the next book.
