    Summary

    By the time Ryland Graces returns to Earth, he's almost 70 and has spent more time on Erid than his home planet.

    Meanwhile, on Earth, nearly 100 years have passed. A lot can change in a century.


    “It’s um. A religion. A small one! But - yes. There’s a portion of Christians who hold the belief that you are the second coming of God. God the Son.” She pauses. “Jesus,” she clarifies, unhelpfully.

    Summary

    “Sorry, bud. It’s going to be a hm… a bit of a pickle to keep me alive.” Grace chuckles.

    “Eridians build whatever Grace needs." Rocky chirps. ”Food that taste good and other stupid needs. Grace no worry. Stay alive and happy, Rocky make sure.”

    Grace nods, but that familiar fear is creeping up on him. The one that visits him when his head hits the pillow, that makes him feel like he's just stalling the inevitable. It's silly.

    All he has to do is not starve on the way to Erid. Then he'll be the only human on the planet. For the rest of his life. Which is not scary at all.

    Summary

    Mark Watney never manages to make contact with Earth and NASA never realizes that he survived the storm and evacuation on Sol 6. So, needless to say, the crew of the Ares IV is incredibly surprised when they land on Mars to find a scruffy, malnourished, mentally unbalanced, but still-alive astronaut waiting for them.

    These are the stories of Mark's long journey home and the lives of the people he touches along the way. (Mostly told from not-Mark POVs.)
