A lone astronaut.
An impossible mission.
An ally he never imagined.
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.

Andy Weir's signature wit and humour shine through in this deeply human science-fiction adventure. Epic, fun and action-packed, and with just the right blend of science and fiction. You won't want to put it down! - Raphail (QBD)

An easy 5-stars for this witty, addictive sci-fi. Solar-eating microbes called Astrophage are decreasing the sun brightness, leaving humanity and survival of living things on Earth at risk. A middle school Science teacher with a PhD in microbiology found himself as the sole survivor in a different star system undergoing a desperate mission to save Earth. - Yue (QBD)
