## Description

THE #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER FROM THE AUTHOR OF THE MARTIAN. Now a major motion picture starring Ryan Gosling, directed by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, with a screenplay by Drew Goddard. Project Hail Mary is now playing exclusively in theaters. Winner of the 2022 Audie Awards' Audiobook of the Year Number-One Audible and New York Times Audio Best Seller More than three million audiobooks sold 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.

Review: Yes yes yes. Good book. Good book. Good book. - I am a slow reader so a finished book for me is a big deal, but this one was worth every page. It is smart, funny, emotional and filled with the kind of scientific problem solving that somehow feels both impossible and completely believable. The setup is wild. Something is draining energy from our Sun, putting all life on Earth at risk. Microscopic lifeforms called Astrophage are at the heart of it, feeding on sunlight and spreading across the stars. But somewhere out there near a distant system called Tau Ceti, a clue to saving humanity might be waiting. Enter Ryland Grace, a reluctant scientist who wakes up alone on a spaceship with no memory of how he got there. What follows is a story full of heart, discovery and unexpected friendship. Andy Weir has an incredible ability to make complex science accessible and even funny. Every problem has a clever solution and every moment carries weight. It is hard sci fi with heart which is exactly my favourite kind of storytelling. I appreciate that a lot of people have already reviewed this book and said similar things, but it really is that good. Sometimes a story deserves every bit of praise it gets. This book reminded me why I love science fiction so much. It is not just about rockets or stars, it is about people, about survival, curiosity and connection even when the odds are impossible. If you enjoyed The Martian you will love this one too. Easily a five star read from me.
Review: HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY! Great main characters. Scenes sequence create mystery and keep events immediate. - No spoilers paragraph: A plausible human extinction threat and tackling it with risky solution attempt that captures your imagination by its ambitious scale yet also on a human/person individual level. There's science and maths but I didn't need to understand it much merely to trust it, but I did enjoy the problem-solving and the character interactions, especially the outsider's view of us. There are minor errors, I noticed, including a fairly major one near the end, but they don't ruin the book nor diminish my great affection for it. Starting in the present day, in the middle of things, and using a series of flashback scenes and using 1st person point-of-view, all create mystery and keeps our hero's adventure immediate. Andy Weir also writes with good humour, and seamlessly includes actual humour, so despite dangers and possible doom it's not a 'dark book'; I heard myself laughing out loud at times. Andy Weir is a writer you can trust, in that for a while I was worried he'd go all Hollywood and unnecessarily kill off a major beloved character. The ending is very satisfying, no loose ends, and without the irritating Hollywood-style cliffhanger designed for a sequel - for me this self-containment increased the re-reading pleasure. I read it 3 times within 2 weeks and parts also. I've left it alone for a while to try and ensure this review isn't too visceral. Mild spoiler paragraph: This (and 'The Martian' also by Andy Weir) is one my favourite and most enjoyable sci-fi reads (I've been reading sci-fi since mid-1960s). One of the best 'buddy' novels too. Canny structure, as starting 'in media res' (in the middle of things) and the flashbacks, though extremely common techniques (dating as far back as the ancient Greeks), work well here by creating mystery right from the start and, importantly, enables you to start in the present. If Andy Weir had written the scenes in straightforward chronological order it'd've been dull and taken half the book to get into space - if you want to see what that's like, read the W_k_p_dia synopsis. I bought the book on Kindle, and several hard copy paperbacks for hubby and members of my family. There are a few, and varied, cultural references. With younger readers in my family I had to explain the 'Rocky' film references including a name/planet name, and also the reference to the text-game 'Colossal Cave Adventure' (1976; I played it 1979), and USA football 'hail mary' desperation play jointly referenced with Roman Catholicism's rosary 'hail mary [full of grace]' and the main character's surname Grace. It's led to unexpected but nice sharing of aspects from the book e.g. "watch me sleep?" The proof-reader missed several things e.g. (in the Kindle version anyway) a read-out of a scientific measurement should be in italics (as it's a different speaker). I believe the penultimate sentence should read "...speed of light, question?" which the editor should've picked up.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Unpredictable Twists, Dry Humour, and Brilliant Science.
*by S***N on 9 July 2026*

I read the paperback alongside listening to the Audio Book (Immersive Reading). This space adventure completely hooked me, even if it took a little bit of time to get my bearings at first. Right from the start, the story throws you directly into a dual narrative, constantly jumping back and forth between Ryland Grace’s past on Earth and his high-stakes present reality in deep space. I must admit that this structural back-and-forth threw me off a bit during the opening chapters, but it didn't take long to find the rhythm and really get into the story. Once you get going, be prepared because there is a lot of science packed into these pages and this is where having the narration really helped as it is filled with dense physics, biology, and math equations, as the book is just such a deep read it completely sweeps you up anyway. The characters were easily my favourite part of the whole journey. I absolutely loved Ryland's sarcastic, dry sense of humour, and his witty internal monologue keeps the tone light and fun even when everything is going wrong. But the absolute highlight of the novel is the lovely, heartwarming friendship that develops between Ryland and the alien lifeform. Their bond is built on genuine trust and shared problem-solving, and it gives the whole book an incredible emotional anchor. Just when you think you have the mission figured out, the plot hits you with a few totally unexpected twists. It all culminates in an ending that I did not predict.
