A lone astronaut must save the earth from disaster in this incredible new science-based thriller from the number-one New York Times best-selling author of The Martian.
Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission - and if he fails, humanity and the Earth itself will perish.
Except that right now, he doesn't know that. He can't even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it.
All he knows is that he's been asleep for a very, very long time. And he's just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company.
His crewmates dead, his memories fuzzily returning, he realizes that an impossible task now confronts him. Alone on this tiny ship that's been cobbled together by every government and space agency on the planet and hurled into the depths of space, it's up to him to conquer an extinction-level threat to our species.
And thanks to an unexpected ally, he just might have a chance.
Part scientific mystery, part dazzling interstellar journey, Project Hail Mary is a tale of discovery, speculation, and survival to rival The Martian - while taking us to places it never dreamed of going.
PLEASE NOTE: To accommodate this audio edition, some changes to the original text have been made with the approval of author Andy Weir.
Customer Reviews
Book is good. The narrator is even better!
This must be the best narrator for an audio book I have ever heard. He does the voices. Accents. Jokes. Wish every audio book could have this quality.
The reader is great, the story not so much
Instead of developing the many interesting elements this story places in front of the listeners, we are stuck with a new boring math problem after another, equally boring math problem. Cool alien culture? Nah, we will instead spend the entire chapter discovering the joy of whatever boring problem Weir decide to pull to increase the length of the book. Somewhere deep underneath the textbook examples there are bones of what could have been an otherwise interesting story, but there is so much bad pacing and white-guy-saves-the-world-because on top that it virtually doesn’t matter. The only redeeming quality I can find is the narrator and the production value of the audiobook, which both are great and a lot better than this mathbook-oh-Im-so-smart deserves. Weirs style of writing also ages as quickly as the latest of his forced problems, where the constant non-swear swears is valid enough reason to not pick this book up.
