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 New York Times Readers Pick: 100 Best Books of the 21st Century

"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.

Industry Reviews

"Brilliantly funny and enjoyable. One of the most plausible science fiction books I've ever read."--Tim Peake, ESA astronaut and internationally bestselling author of Limitless

"Thrilling doesn't even begin to describe Project Hail Mary, which is undisputedly the best book I've read in a very, very long time. Chock full of the mind-blowing science in death-defying situations that made Weir a star with The Martian, this tour-de-force even transcends that work as it becomes a profoundly moving celebration of friendship and sacrifice. I cheered, I laughed (a lot), I cried, and when the twist arrived and the book revealed its true target, my jaw hit the floor. Mark my words:
Project Hail Mary is destined to become a classic."--Blake Crouch, New York Times bestselling author of Recursion and Dark Matter

"Two worlds in peril, a competent (but flawed and human) man, a competent alien, unending scientific puzzles to unravel, with humanity itself at risk, this one has everything fans of old school SF (like me) love. If you like a lot of science in your science fiction, Andy Weir is the writer for you."--George R. R. Martin, New York Times bestselling author of A Game of Thrones

"I loved The Martian, but I actually find Project Hail Mary to be Mr. Weir's finest work to date. It's somehow both exciting, yet also personal. I'm constantly amazed by how well Mr. Weir continues to write wonderfully accessible science fiction without compromising either the science or the fiction."--Brandon Sanderson, New York Times bestselling author of the Stormlight Archive series

"Readers may find themselves consuming this emotionally intense and thematically profound novel in one stay-up-all-night-until-your-eyes-bleed sitting. An unforgettable story of survival and the power of friendship--nothing short of a science fiction masterwork."--Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

"A suspenseful portrait of human ingenuity and resilience [that] builds to an unexpectedly moving ending. A winner."--Publishers Weekly (starred review)

"Weir returns with gusto . . . his writing flows naturally, and his characters and dialogue crackle with energy. With this novel, he takes his place as a genuine star in the mainstream SF world."--Booklist (starred review)
