HUGO AWARD FINALIST • ONE OF THE YEAR’S BEST BOOKS: Bill Gates, GatesNotes, New York Public Library, Parade, Newsweek, Polygon, Shelf Awareness, She Reads, Kirkus Reviews, Library JournalNew York Times Readers Pick: 100 Best Books of the 21st Century

“An epic story of redemption, discovery and cool speculative sci-fi.”—USA Today

“If you loved The Martian, you’ll go crazy for Weir’s latest.”—The Washington Post


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 deliver, 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.

Fantastic story with the expected “real science” we’ve come to expect from Andy Weir. Great sci-fi writing as well as a wonderful and moving story.
Fantastic

Hail Mary is a tremendous read, one of those books you can’t put down ! The author manages to adorn the book with science in snippets that become riveting, no small accomplishment from the great mind of Andy Weir. On to Artemis.
Such a fantastic buddy story!

It’s been years since a book has grabbed and held my attention like Project Hail Mary did! I’m lost now that it’s done. Such a wonderful tale of friendship! I can’t see me re-reading it within the year!
Like the Martian? You’ll love PHM

Brilliant book. Beyond from the common brief of an interstellar journey, the author pushed the limits to the unthinkable possibilities beyond this world. Creative SciFi yet sustained in scientific facts. Best book I’ve ever read. Period!

Pretty good but as a biologist myself I’ll say we aren’t nearly as good at math as is depicted in the novel.

Andy Weir’s writing appeals to the optimist and humanist in me, and it’s deeply funny. If you love high stakes and tear-wrenching compassion, Weir’s the author for you.
Amazingly genius!

This is the same author who wrote the Martian in which the movie is based on. He has a new book! I have never been at the edge of my seat by reading a science fiction book as this! This astronaut’s adventure in space to save the human race and earth is thrilling. All his experiments and troubleshooting with ingenuity using science (micro biology, biology, chemistry, physics, etc.) and engineering is so brilliant. I’ve learn so much from just reading this book! Wow! What a great genius book this is! You don’t need to be a nerd to appreciate the science and engineering experience in this book. It was a great ride like an excellent movie! I loved every bit of it.
Loved it

I normally don’t read this enthusiastically but I could not put Project Hail Mary down. I’m a science lover (not an expert) and the science felt believable, added so much to the story, and was easy to understand. It gave me the emotional experience I had hoped to experience in the movie Gravity but didn’t until reading this book. I got so emotional near the end. So much to love about the main characters, even their flaws. Just wow. Can’t wait to read what this Andy Weir comes up with next!!
Definitely recommend

The narration of the audiobook is really good and so is the story. And the science They explain is also very intriguing.
Loved every page

I really enjoy Andy Weir’s writing style and how his books are filled with conflicts. They’re not solved by accident but instead through plausible scientific processes. His “Possible Science Fiction” should be an official genre style. I was attached to this book right from the start and thoroughly enjoyed every page. Looking forward to his next book! Well done!
Beautiful

This was a breathtaking story - literally, I breathed sighs of relief and yelped with agony alongside the storyline like a crazy person. It captures an infinite supply of curiosity in mankind, and ignites so much hope in such ironically dire situations. I’m waiting to forget this story for a re-read!

It’s a good read, there were some moments when I didn’t believe the science, but I’m not an astrophysicist so it was either “I thought it didn’t make sense” or “it didn’t make sense”. It was probably the former but I enjoyed it nonetheless. It kept me wanting to turn the page and that’s what matters. I enjoy stories that venture to the stars and it delivered.
Old school hard SF

Read this in a day and a half. Haven’t done that in years. Reminds me of Arthur C Clark, Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle all rolled into one. If you liked The Martian, you’ll love this.
Surprising, funny, and filled will serious science action!

Another wonderful book. The characters immediately grow on you, the plot develops and twists, and keeps you on edge enough to be compelling without being disorienting. What could possibly be better than Danger, Humor, and Science???? :-)
Great Book

Fans of The Martian and Artemis will not be disappointed. I don’t want to spoil anything as I went in knowing almost nothing and think that was for the best experience. Just put your faith in the author and he delivers.

So monotonous, slow and boring I thought I might die of old age reading this.
Not what I hope for

Very formulaic. Not as engaging as I expected.
