Written without knowledge of Andy Weir's "The Martian," a new novel by Gregory Gates, "Margaritifer Basin" has just been published by Hear Doc Publishing. It is the first part of a trilogy about colonisation of Mars in the present future.
I read a draft and gave the author some notes, hence my awareness of the book. A fun yarn, though not for minors.
