    Summary

    When the burger factory was first commissioned, I was promised it would be for therapeutic cloning only. Muscle tissue for meburgers; organs if I needed them; but no experimenting with brain tissue. And absolutely no reproductive cloning – that is, making a whole other me. My provisions were ratified by the Eridian legislative body over a decade ago, and it's the reason I gave up my stem cells willingly – well, that, and I missed meat. A lot.

    I mean, I miss hugs too, but not so badly I would condemn another human to live his entire life inside this dome with me. Don't get me wrong, I like Erid; I'm happy here. But to never know Earth, to only have yours truly for human company… that's a pretty raw deal. I couldn't conscience bringing a new life into the wrong world – and neither could my Eridian hosts.

    Or so I thought.

    Summary

    “Grace, there is a problem.”

    I pause what I’m doing to look at Rocky. “What’s up?”

    Rocky skitters around his tunnel nervously. “I may have taught you the wrong language.” Rocky squeaks out.

    What?

    Summary

    Mark Watney has survived 118 sols on Mars, and he wouldn’t exactly say it’s been a cakewalk, but he only has about three more years of listening to disco to go (ugh) before Ares IV picks him up and take him home. But when something crashes on the Martian surface only a few kilometers from the Hab, NASA wants him to leave the safety of his little home on the Martian prairie to go investigate…what could possibly go wrong?

    Ryland Grace has survived a long time in space and almost a decade on Erid, but the anxiety of not knowing if the beetles made it to Earth finally drives him to try the dangerous journey back home, and Rocky and Adrian come with him. Everything was actually going pretty good…until a horrible accident leaves them hurtling through space (and time) with no choice but to crash land on the wrong planet.

    How is Watney going to deal with the unexpected company (and their weird secretiveness over why they were in space)? Is Grace going to be able to adjust to being around another human being again? And how are Rocky and Adrian going to handle the uncertainty of a reception to an Earth that’s never heard of aliens before?

    More importantly…how the fuck is NASA going to get them all home alive?
