Sol is left behind on Mars by his crew from "summary" of The Martian by Andy Weir
After a dust storm nearly kills him and forces his crew to evacuate while thinking him dead, Mark Watney finds himself stranded and completely alone with no way to even signal Earth that he’s alive. And even if he could get word out, his supplies would be gone long before a rescue could arrive. Chances are, though, he won't have time to starve to death. The damaged machinery, unforgiving environment, or plain-old "human error" are much more likely to kill him first. But Mark isn't ready to give up yet. Drawing on his ingenuity, his engineering skills—and a relentless, dogged refusal to quit—he steadfastly confronts one seemingly insurmountable obstacle after the next. Will his resourcefulness be enough to overcome the impossible odds against him? Mark faces one seemingly insurmountable obstacle after another as he struggles to survive. He could run out of food, water, or oxygen. He could be killed by the malfunctioning machinery, or by the hostile environment. But Mark refuses to give up. Using his skills as a botanist and mechanical engineer, he comes up with ingenious solutions to each problem he encounters. Mark is determined to stay alive long enough to be rescued. Every setback only serves to make him more determined. He is alone on Mars, with no way to communicate with Earth. The only way he can survive is by using his wits and his knowledge of science. As Mark battles against the odds, his crewmates and NASA realize that he is still alive. They must find a way to rescue him before it is too late. Mark’s struggle for survival becomes a race against time, as every moment brings him closer to running out of food and water. Will he be able to hold on long enough for the rescue mission to reach him? The world watches as Mark fights for his life on the barren surface of Mars. The question on everyone’s mind is whether he will be able to overcome the many obstacles in his way and make it back home alive.
