In the novel by Andy Weir “the Martian”, the astronaut trapped on Mars. In the very next book, the Weir is going to send a space traveler closer to home — the female protagonist of the new book will explore the moon, the natural satellite of the Earth.
Previously, Weir told me that writing a novel under the name “Zech” travel with superluminal speed and the alien invasion. So either his plans changed or in this novel the main action will unfold on the moon. Given that everything will happen in a colony or city on the surface of the moon, the plot hardly will repeat “the Martian”. Weir plans to finish the novel in late 2016 or early 2017.
Weir’s first novel was a series of blog posts, before becoming a bestseller and then a movie with Matt Damon. Perhaps the next book will also be a hit. Will be interesting to see what engineering challenges face the hero on the moon.
