Reviews
"Interesting reading, avoiding most technical matters and presenting the material in an entertaining fashion."--Critical Mass; "One of the more common questions I get asked by fans of The Martian is, 'Could Mark Watney have made vodka from some of those potatoes?' Who knows what the future holds? Well, maybe Chris Carberry does. Kick back, grab your drink of choice, and enjoy this book about two of my favorite subjects."--Andy Weir, author of the best-selling and critically acclaimed novel The Martian
