From Andy Weir, bestselling author of The Martian, comes another epic space tale, Project Hail Mary – a gripping science fiction adventure filled with wit, suspense and heart. The novel follows lone astronaut Ryland Grace on a desperate mission that could determine the fate of humanity. The only problem – Ryland doesn't know what that mission is. After waking up aboard with amnesia and no living crewmates left, he's tasked with the near-impossible puzzle of conquering an extinction-level threat all by himself. Thanks to Weir's signature mix of humor and ingenuity, this book is an unforgettable tale of survival, discovery and resilience that will keep you on the edge of your seat.
