Project Hail Mary

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From the author of The Martian; a lone astronaut must save the earth from disaster in this “propulsive” (Entertainment Weekly); cinematic thriller full of suspense; humor; and fascinating science—in development as a major motion picture starring Ryan Gosling. HUGO AWARD FINALIST • ONE OF THE YEAR’S BEST BOOKS: Bill Gates; GatesNotes; New York Public Library; Parade; Newsweek; Polygon; Shelf Awareness; She Reads; Kirkus Reviews; Library Journal • “An epic story of redemption; discovery and cool speculative sci-fi.”—USA Today “If you loved The Martian; you’ll go crazy for Weir’s latest.”—The Washington Post 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 deliver; 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.
