Why read it?
1 author picked Mars Crossing as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

The descriptions of the Martian environment are so vivid that you feel like you are there, traveling with them for thousands of miles to reach the North Pole.
From Giancarlo's list on human Mars exploration.
