No Man Friday
Author: Rex Gordon
 
After an appalling space accident Gordon Holder finds himself the sole survivor on board a rocket bound for nowhere. He manages to land on Mars but that is only the beginning of his ordeal. Finding air, water and food are just three of his desperately urgent problems, let alone the awesome and frightening prospect of Martian life. 
This is the gripping and ingenious story of a space-age Robinson Crusoe, but this time there is no Man Friday to greet him - or is there?
