A Good Start

Well I've started the book and so far it's very good. I'm a couple of pages into it but it has done a very good job of keeping me interested. The story thus far goes as follows: a space craft, with four married couples all with various skills on board as the crew, set off on a journey to Mars. The mission did not go well and the people of Earth assumed the crew had all died. 50 years later a drone craft was sent to Mars to do some recon. However, what this small craft finds is a man. His name is Valentine Michael Smith and he is a Martian. The ship carries him back to earth where he suffers a great deal due to the difference in gravity and atmosphere. Meanwhile the captain in charge of the voyage and several scientists who have been tasked with the duty of watching of the strange man from outer space argue over what to do with him. This is as far as I've gotten so far but I think it will be very interesting. I'm a fan of science fiction and the idea of life on other planets so I think I will find this to be a very good read.
