A sci-fi book unlike any other. The level of realism and attention of detail is amazing. Granted, I suspect this might appeal to those of a certain detail-orientated state of mind, but it avoids the data dumps of some sci-fi novels. It manages to talk about the minutiae of what might be required to survive on Mars in an engaging way that adds, rather than extracts, from the excitement of the story.
