Project Hail Mary - Andy Weir

A breathtaking interstellar survival story from the author of The Martian

Project Hail Mary is Andy Weir’s most ambitious and emotionally resonant work yet—a gripping blend of hard science fiction, survival drama, and unexpected friendship.

Ryland Grace awakens alone on a silent spacecraft, light-years from Earth. He doesn’t know where he is, how he got there, or even his own name. His only companions are two deceased crewmates and fragments of memories that slowly begin to resurface. As his past returns piece by piece, Ryland discovers the shocking truth: he is humanity’s last hope.

A mysterious cosmic threat is pushing Earth toward extinction, and Ryland’s mission—Operation Hail Mary—is the final attempt to stop it. Completely isolated, armed only with scientific ingenuity and sheer determination, he must solve an impossible astronomical puzzle.

But just when he resigns himself to facing the void alone, he discovers an unexpected ally—one unlike anything he or humanity could have imagined. Together, they confront a universe filled with dangers, wonders, and the desperate fight for survival.

Blending meticulous scientific detail with fast-paced storytelling and heartfelt emotion, Andy Weir delivers a modern sci-fi classic that rivals The Martian while expanding into bold, imaginative new territory.
