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 presently, he doesn’t know that. He can’t even understand that his own name, let on my own the nature of his assignment or learn 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 not possible task now confronts him. Hurtling through space on this tiny ship, it’s up to him to puzzle out an not possible 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 on my own.

Or does he?

An impossible to resist interstellar adventure as only Andy Weir could deliver, Project Hail Mary is a tale of discovery, speculation, and survival to rival The Martian—whilst taking us to places it never dreamed of going.
