Description
The sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission to save both humanity and the earth, Ryland Grace is hurtled into the depths of space when he must conquer an extinction-level threat to our species. 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 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 th enearest 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 discvoery, speculation, and survival to rival The Martian-while taking us to places it never dreamed of going. --

one day ryland grace woke up and decided to work with the cards he was dealt, and by god did he get dealt a shitty hand. but somewhere along the way, he found someone worth being brave for.
Amaze amaze amaze 😭<br/>Yall im over here crying about a space rock and an autistic man i dont have the words
This book is so fun. It gripped me entirely, and I was glued to this book. <br/><br/>Rocky is the best alien character ever. <br/><br/>The audiobook has incredible narration of Ryland and incredible “narration” of Rocky. I didn’t end up sticking to the audiobook and mainly read this, but check out the audiobook if only to hear a few lines of conversation between the two pals. <br/><br/>I was satisfied with the ending and the feel-good vibes throughout were immaculate. Very life-affirming and made me genuinely feel so happy and optimistic about life. <br/><br/>It’s like cooperation porn, like global cooperation everyone is in this together truly global front no borders response to an ecological crisis. <br/><br/>I needed this book man. Depression cured.
