This is a new novel by the popular science fiction author known for *The Martian*, and, as usual, it features a plot where the protagonist must survive alone in space. Actually, this was the first full-length English novel I’ve ever finished reading, and since it’s written in simple English throughout and was easy to read, I’d recommend it to anyone looking to try reading English fiction.
