Thw wonderful writer who is Andy Weir.

Absolutely love this writer. He is inventive and incredibly thought provoking. I started with The Martian which I have read at least 15 times. Must be the hilarious narration by Wil Wheaton.

Loved it!

The only thing I disliked was that there wasn’t more. Short sweet and very clever

Wish my brain worked like this!

Who knew you could tell an entire story and not be left wanting in 10mins?!? So clever. I’ve listened to 20hour novels and not been left as satisfied. Narration well suited. No story left where you think it was heading.

Brilliant stories

I really enjoyed this collection of short stories. I have listen to Andy Weir’s Hail Mary Project and this is helping me to venture into more science fiction kind of stories.

Andy Weir has done it again!

Every story has a twist you don’t see coming that hits you right at the end. It’s brilliantly written and very well performed. I can’t recommend this enough for fans of Andy Weir or those who want a taste test of his work.
