NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE STARRING RYAN GOSLING
A lone astronaut.
An impossible mission.
An ally he never imagined.
'The most enjoyable hard SF I have read in years' GUARDIAN
'Weir's finest work to date. . . This is the one book I read last year that I am certain I can recommend to anyone, no matter who, and know they'll love it.' BRANDON SANDERSON
'If you like a lot of science in your science fiction, Andy Weir is the writer for you. . . This one has everything fans of old school SF (like me) love.' GEORGE R.R. MARTIN
'Brilliantly funny and enjoyable. One of the most plausible science fiction books I've ever read' TIM PEAKE, astronaut
________________________________________
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, Ryland realizes that an impossible task now confronts him. Hurtling through space on this tiny ship, it's up to him to puzzle out an impossible scientific mystery-and conquer an extinction-level threat to our species.
And with the clock ticking down and the nearest human being light-years away, he's got to do it all alone.
Or does he?
An irresistible interstellar adventure as only Andy Weir could imagine it, 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.

'One of the most original, compelling, and fun voyages I've ever taken.' ERNEST CLINE, author of Ready Player One and Ready Player Two
'Undisputedly the best book I've read in a very, very long time. Mark my words: Project Hail Mary is destined to become a classic.' BLAKE CROUCH
'Andy Weir's brilliant Project Hail Mary...is one of those stirring sci-fi novels about every government on Earth banding together, through science, to save civilisation from collapse. I loved it.' THE TIMES
'A suspenseful portrait of human ingenuity and resilience [that] builds to an unexpectedly moving ending. A winner.' PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
'Weir returns with gusto . . . his writing flows naturally, and his characters and dialogue crackle with energy. With this novel, he takes his place as a genuine star in the mainstream SF world.' BOOKLIST

Amaze amaze amaze!
Project Hail Mary might easily be my favourite sci-fi book to date. The way that Andy Weir combined the, quite difficult, real science with a big part of fictional one was very well executed. And the amount of thought and work that went into creating an extraterrestrial life-form? Just amazing. I absolutely love the depiction of our world working united to solve a problem - and the ethical dilemmas created along the way. Andy Weir basically gave one woman the power to save the world. The relationship between Rocky and Grace however, might be my favourite part of the whole book. It wasn't easy, but definitely realistic (in the way that I imagine a relationship between a human and a friendly extraterrestial to look exactly like that). I love the fact, that in the end they really were the best of friends. The open ending was definitely a nice factor. Project Hail Mary is a book I would always recommend to a science fiction fan! -

Grace and Rocky save stars
Dr. Ryland Grace wakes up in space. Confused. Without Memories. His crewmates are dead. And while he's on the journey to save his sun from dying he meets Rocky. A spider like - alien made out of rock with the same issue, send to save their dying star. We jump between his time on the hail mary and how he even got there in the first time. Then what does a teacher do in space? I absolutely loved the dynamic between Grace and Rocky, how they build a way to communicate, how their friendship slowly builds and what their willing to sacrafice to save each other. After watching the movie about 3 times I just had to read the book and was not disappointed. -

hopecore & extraterrestrial fistbumps
I don't know what I expected going into this book, having never really dabbled much in sci-fi before, but I certainly did not expect to utterly fall in love with it. The more the story progressed the less I could put it down, and particularly the unlikely friendship between Grace and Rocky made me both laugh and cry occasionally. There is just something magical about the feeling of genuine hope during an apocalypse that really makes this novel stand out, underlining its place among the classics of the genre. -

Emotions in Space
I don't usually go for science fiction, but after hearing so much praise for Project Hail Mary, I decided to give it a go - and let me tell you, it was absolutely worth it. This book is exactly as good as you've heard it is. The sciencey stuff is explained just enough to kept it interesting, neither too much nor too little. The emotional stuff is so well done. The complicated relationships before the journey to space are just as interesting as the one formed in space. The dual timeline was very easy to follow and every flashback made sense where it was placed/remembered by Grace. Overall, I recommend this to absolutely everyone with my whole heart!
