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.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
In this endearing science fiction adventure, a science teacher wakes up in space, only to remember that it’s his job to save the world. When Ryland Grace awakens alone on a spaceship with his colleagues dead, he has no idea who he is—or why he’s speeding through space. But as his memories begin to return, the one-time science teacher realizes he not only has to save himself—he has been tasked with a last-ditch attempt to save all life on Earth. Sci-fi superstar Andy Weir has an uncanny ability to link real math and science to sympathetic, often hilarious characters. Alternating between flashbacks and Ryland’s increasingly tense current situation, the stellar Weir brings us into a plausible future where the stakes are literally the survival of humanity. Versatile narrator Ray Porter is profoundly engaging as he leads us through the ups and downs of this heartfelt adventure.
Customer Reviews
Good good good
Movie 🤜🏽🤛🏽book
Book better me like. Movie still really good though.
Inaccurate
Several basic scientific concepts/facts presented are simply incorrect. Given how front and center these details and the protagonists grasp of them are made I think it is a bit worse than a nitpick. The book on the whole could be better written, it’s padded. It could have been a 2 hour story.
Excellent
This is a great book and read by a great narrator . Definitely a feel good book of unlikely friendship under dire circumstances .
