Review Detail of CKtalon in Dead on Mars
Review detail
This is a award-winning short story that's only 251 chapters long. It's about the length of most contemporary science-fiction books with about 4 major arcs, with each arc having a clear focus for survival. Although there's a book and movie named The Martian that follows a similar premise, this story is built on a question found on the Internet: If you were an astronaut on a mission to moon, and you see the Earth explode, what would be your first reaction? Hence, the same challenges and ones even more challenging are what our protagonists face in this story, especially when there's no Earth to provide them any support. With the cast being a bare minimum of three characters, it makes you deeply feel for them while also enjoying their antics when the mood is tense due to the looming doom. You can feel the subtle changes in their behavior as the sense of loneliness, despair, and helplessness gets to them. It really makes you feel empathy for these characters that it's bitter-sweet when the story ends. The author has done his homework in the scientific aspects of the book, and being a physicist by training, I'm rather impressed. It's still very much grounded in reality and not something totally out there. While being science-fiction, it also delves into (among others) the age-old philosophical question: "What is the meaning of life?"

My reaction would be oh **** as I get obliterated by earths debris if the entire planet actually blew up. Honestly they wouldn't survive unless they have a completely self sufficient environment and then if there are only 2 people humans are screwed in the long run because of inbreeding it is an extremely depressing situation but on the upside no more racism I am assuming that they are either Chinese or Korean like most novels on the site. The meaning of life is to exist until you die, and do things that you need to survive and while enjoying doing the things that interest you in my opinion.
