It's official: my little project is pretty much an utter failure.

The problem is the next mission to Mars isn't for another four years and he only has enough supplies to last about one.

It's told through the juxtaposition of his log entries and the NASA crew back on Earth. NASA figures it out that he's still alive and is in a race to save him. It's witty, very suspenseful and isn't too far fetched as far as science is concerned. It's kinda like Cast-Away meets Robinson Crusoe.
Tenth of the way through so far. (Picked it up on this recommendation.)

They should have called it The Towers of Hanoi: The Novel.
