I really enjoyed that book and the whole "alone in space" vibe it gives off. Are there any more like it?

EDIT: Jeez i can't reply to you all. I wish there was a way to compile all your suggestions into a Goodreads list, these all sound awesome!

Massive fan of The Martian and Weirs follow up called 'Project Hail Mary'. It leans a little more in the direction of Science Fiction than the Martian did, but it's an absolute page turner from front to back.

The way they did the alien speech in the audiobook was really neat

I keep hearing that the audiobook is amazing, but it's a fantastic book either way. A true spiritual successor to The Martian.

I found it to be excellent especially since we learn how Grace ended up on this mission. He redeem himself.
