From the author of The Martian, this is a high-stakes celebration of "competence porn," scientific curiosity, and the profound power of cross-species connection.
Ryland Grace wakes up in a sterile room with no memory of his name or why he is there. He soon discovers he is on a suicide mission to save Earth from an extinction-level solar parasite. Like The Martian, the story is a masterclass in problem-solving, as Grace uses the scientific method to navigate one life-threatening crisis after another.
While the "hard science" is meticulously researched and central to the plot, the soul of the book lies in its exploration of friendship and sacrifice. The arrival of an unexpected ally shifts the narrative from a story of solitary survival to one of collaborative brilliance. It argues that intelligence alone isn't enough to save a world; it requires empathy, trust, and the willingness to risk everything for a stranger.
Project Hail Mary is a thrilling, optimistic look at the universe. It asks: If you had to save everyone you ever knew, and you didn't even remember your own face, where would you start?
