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, he realizes that an impossible task now confronts him. Alone on this tiny ship that's been cobbled together by every government and space agency on the planet and hurled into the depths of space, it's up to him to conquer an extinction-level threat to our species.

And thanks to an unexpected ally, he just might have a chance.

Part scientific mystery, …

Enthusiasm as propulsion

I enjoyed “The Martian” and this is more of the same, which is a good thing. Ryland, the protagonist, is a golden retriever of a narrator: super ENTHUSIASTIC! which surprisingly, didn’t grate (too much). Because it’s science and problem-solving, and Weir does a good job of keeping it interesting without dumbing things down. Really fascinating stuff. The stakes are much higher this time too. Very enjoyable.

Review of 'Project Hail Mary' on 'Goodreads'

Ryland Grace wakes up disoriented on a spaceship, with amnesia and no memory of his mission. As he pieces together his situation, he realizes he's humanity's last hope on a desperate interstellar mission to save Earth. The amnesia hook throws the reader headfirst into the story alongside Ryland, unraveling the mysteries surrounding the mission and his own identity. A thrilling sci-fi adventure that explores themes of human ingenuity, resilience, and the power of cooperation in the face of overwhelming odds.

Project Hail Mary

After reading The Mote in God’s Eye, I realized that Garrit Franke, a fellow Fosstodon member, finished reading this book, so I decided to give it a try too.

I have to admit that at first I was a little bit hesitant about this book, because it is a written in first person, and it also starts out with ammnesia and also flashbacks. But after that I got used to the writing style pretty quickly and started to really get into the main story and the mystery behind everything happening around our protagonist.

The story follows a lone astronaut that finds himself facing impossible odds every step of the way. The way the plot is revealed and how it moves forward every chapter is great. The scientific elements are pretty accurate and that was something I found really interesting. It reminded me a lot of Jules Verne’s novels that usually …

Review of 'Project Hail Mary' on 'Goodreads'

I enjoyed this work quite a bit. The only criticism I have is that at some point in the novel you reach crisis fatigue. Yes, piloting a starship based on technology that's been developed in the past year or so is going to present some issues, but it sometimes feels like it's unrelenting.

Review of 'Proyecto Hail Mary' on 'Goodreads'

Me ha encantado. Es muy entretenido y siempre están pasando cosas. El robo es desenfadado y el nivel de ciencia no es muy alto, diría que lo disfrutas si sabes de los temas pero que no es necesario para pasar un buen rato leyendo.

My thoughts about Projekt Hail Mary

Project Hail Mary is a very science focused sci-fi novel, which resonates with the science geek in me. But despite having a lot of science, that never takes over from the real story. The scenario is interesting from a philosophical perspective, and the story is interesting and fun from the beginning to the end. This was the book of the year for me, and I can highly recommend it if you like sci-fi.

Review of 'Project Hail Mary' on 'Goodreads'

If you have enjoyed "the Martian" you will probably enjoy also this one. It was the same style of detailed scientific writing.

Phrases like "It was louder than I thought it would be" are really cool. I mean, he not only imagined something completely new, he also wrote about it as it would already be real.

It was thrilling to tremble with the main character.

Good stuff for an interesting movie as well.

Pure entertainment

I think this will be the book I recommend the most this year. It is entertaining from beginning to end. If you like sci-fi or space stories, read it. If you don't, read it anyway because you will laugh. It is very rare that I tear through a book in the span of a day, but, and I apologise for the cliché, I could not put this book down.
