NOTE: Many readers have enjoyed both Red Hope and The Martian, but they are very different stories in terms of pacing, plot, storytelling and genre. The Martian by Andy Weir is Hard SciFi and contains the nitty-gritty minutiae of daily living on Mars. Red Hope is a fast-paced adventure story with a little bit of thriller mixed in.

This is the first novel in a two-book series and it ends with a mild cliffhanger.
