I don’t know how much more of this I can take.
“A MacGyver-trapped-on-Mars tale” ~ so says the back cover. And I just am not into reading about creating water out of fuel cells and calculating the calories needed to survive for 4 years. Tedious.
How is this book going to get anywhere with one guy alone on Mars? That’s the only reason I’m still reading…

Ah! That’s how you write a book about a guy stranded on Mars. You make it like Apollo 13- NASA working on the ground to bring him home. Duh. Have to read the rest of the back cover. :-)
Also, if I skim the detailed MacGyver moments, I can stomach this.
