More about the book

Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir

Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir is a gripping sci-fi adventure blending high-stakes survival with science and unexpected heart.

Ryland Grace wakes up alone aboard a spacecraft, with no memory of who he is or why he’s there. As fragments of his past slowly return, he discovers the terrifying truth: he’s humanity’s last hope in a mission to stop an extinction-level threat. Stranded light-years from home with limited resources and impossible odds, Ryland must rely on science and problem-solving, and, of course, sheer determination to survive.

Packed with suspense, humor, and clever scientific twists, Project Hail Mary delivers the same addictive storytelling that made The Martian a phenomenon.
