Reviews

The title is appropriate since the project is mankind's last chance to save themselves.

"Project Hail Mary is a terrific book! Weir is quite knowledgable about outer space science and this makes for a very compelling read. As well, the novel has suspense which makes it a page turner! You can't go wrong with this book. I can't wait for the movie to come out!"

Jeff H. (5/5)

One of my favourite SciFi novels!

"Ryland Grace wakes up as the sole survivor on a spaceship sent on a ‘Hail Mary’ mission to figure out why Earth’s sun is rapidly dimming. The only problem is that he doesn’t remember who he is or why he’s there, and the story unfolds through flashbacks as he realizes that he is the only one who can to save humanity from extinction. Important: if you don’t like spoilers, you should read the book before you watch the movie trailer!"

Patricia B. (5/5)

If you can read, you should pick this book up!

"This book is a master piece, and I believe anyone who is interested in Sci Fi, must read this book. Smooth writing style, easy to start, and great ending. Also I loved the fact how similar and compeletly opposite the story was to Martian."

Jasmine (5/5)

Stellar work!

"Engaging from page one and kept your attention the whole way through. The science was easy to follow and Ryland Grace was such a great main character to walk with throughout this story."

Livv (5/5)

Fantastic

"This book is fantastic. It has exhilarating action, heart and lots of humour. I could read it again and again."

M. H. (5/5)

"This was such a great read. 10/10 recommend. Great story, so well written. Just buy it!"

Kate (5/5)

All hail Project Hail Mary 🙌

"If you were a fan of The Martian then you're in for another treat with Project Hail Mary. Sci-fi, science, humour. . . and a tearjerker? All I can say is I devoured this and I cannot wait for the movie!"

Ajvfield (5/5)

If you liked The Martian…

"If you liked The Martian, you’ll like this one. It was an easy read, that held my interest. Andy Weir hasn’t steered me in the wrong direction, yet!"

Seana (5/5)

The World at a precipice

"Very entertaining, enthralling and ultimately optimistic view about the world and what would happen if we were faced with a planet ending calamity."

Funkright (5/5)

Refreshing

"A refreshing look at alien life and culture, as well as being a solid sci-fi story."

“A crowd-pleaser on the grandest scale.”The Boston Globe

“An engaging space odyssey.”The New York Times Book Review (Editors’ Choice)

“Dazzling.”Vulture

“Funny, well plotted, and full of surprises.”The Guardian

“A joy to read.”Locus

“The ultimate page-turner.”Daily Mail

“Weir spins a space yarn in a way only he can. Fans of his earlier works won’t be disappointed.”Newsweek

“Andy Weir proves once again that he is a singular talent. Project Hail Mary is so fascinating and propulsive that it’s downright addictive. From the first page as Ryland wakes up not knowing who or where he is, I was hooked.”—Taylor Jenkins Reid, New York Times bestselling author of Daisy Jones & The Six

“Reading Project Hail Mary is like going on a field trip to outer space with the best science teacher you’ve ever had—and your class assignment is to save the world. This is one of the most original, compelling, and fun voyages I’ve ever taken.”—Ernest Cline, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Ready Player One

“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

“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 . . . 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

“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)
Andy Weir built a two-decade career as a software engineer until the success of his first published novel, The Martian, allowed him to live out his dream of writing full-time. He is a lifelong space nerd and a devoted hobbyist of such subjects as relativistic physics, orbital mechanics, and the history of manned spaceflight. He also mixes a mean cocktail. He lives in California.
