This book is simultaneously an edge of your seat adventure, and a roll on the floor laugh out loud masterclass. Mark might just be one of the best and most likable protagonists to hit the printed page in the last decade. If you enjoy real world science and engineering along with high risk survival and fantastically hilarious one liners, this is the book for you.
