Astronauts exploring the surface of Mars are forced to abort the mission due to a severe wind storm that threatens to topple their lander. One of the crew members is struck by an antenna and left for dead. He wakes up after the storm buried in dust, but alone. His amazing improvisational skills and scientific knowledge, particularly in botany, allow him to survive, even thrive, in the harsh environment. He eventually manages to contact Earth and a rescue mission is planned using his old crew mates. Long but entertaining sci fi yarn, its dry scientific accuracy offset by equally dry humor from Damon.
