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。

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?
