I liked the concept (both scientific, that is a total transformation of a man, and political, that is everything depending on just putting a man on Mars). I was a bit disappointed that the protagonist simply decided to remain there, which was much more than was expected of him.

I'm about to finish the Audacity of Hope

It's rather bland.

Just finished Stefan Zweig's "Fouche" and "Marie Antoinette", and I'll probably be moving onto Napoleonic-related works. I need to read more historical works of Zweig (I had read his Magellan years ago as well), but he could easily be among my favourite authors very soon.

I'm not yet sure why, but I find his psychological insight into the people he writes about utterly fascinating (and hilarious at times).

Read Marie Antoinette, but haven't read Fouche.

Have you read Maria Stuart by him? Very fascinating.

Maria Stuart I haven't, but it will probably go into my reading list soon...

Hard question, actually. Given how diffrent his work can be, I'd start with the first novel (the English title is silly).

If your wondering why a Polish writer is writing a German mystery, well, Google Breslau like I did, because I didn't know where Breslau was.

Fun fact: some residents of Wrocław still reefers it to Breslau, mostly as a joke.

Many of Wrocław residents are actually descendants of those expelled from the Kresy (mostly Lwów, now Lviv) after Uncle Joe changed the border. Due to this, some reefer to Wrocław as relocated Lwów.
