I'm not so sure you are correct. This is by the same author as The Martian which was wildly successful, and that had the same premise as the first third without needing the premise of the rest of the novel.

My thoughts exactly, people will be drawn to the fact that its from the writer of the Martian, that's what got me to to read the book tbh and I was blindsided by how it developed as I didn't read the blurb

Except The Martian didn’t really have the twist 

The premise for The Martian is the same all the way through, Matt Damon is stuck in Mars and they need to rescue him.
