Customer Reviews Summary

I absolutely fell in love with this book and have been recommending it everyone I know.At its core, Project Hail Mary is a story of survival, discovery, and unexpected friendships. We follow Ryland Grace waking up alone in space, with no memory, next to two dead bodies that he doesn’t recognise, and absolutely no clue where he is or why he is there. As he slowly pieces together his mission, and understands that the fate of the Earth is in his hands, he must use all of his scientific knowledge to face challenges which grow increasingly more complex and dangerous. Watching his memories come back piece by piece was such a clever and compelling narrative choice. The twists were so perfectly paced, right up until the end of the book you are still putting together the why’s and how’s of Grace ending up in space. I think this really added an emotional weight to the story as we learn Grace’s backstory as well as the enormity of the mission that he has been sent on.For me the best part of the book was the relationship between Grace and Rocky. It was so unexpectedly heart-warming and their growing camaraderie and cooperation felt genuine and hopeful in a way that was incredibly powerful. I also have to give huge credit to Andy Weir for the way that he weaves complex science into the story, whether it’s astrophysics, chemistry or microbiology, he manages to explain it in a way that feels smart but accessible and ultimately not overwhelming the reader. Beyond the science and the space adventure I really liked the emotional depth of the story, the moral and ethical decisions made on Earth by Stratt and the international community in their response to the danger as well as Grace confronting his own uncomfortable truths about who he is and the choices he makes.I grew up a sci-fi fan, I would watch Stargate SG1 religiously, and the whole array of Star Trek’s. Project Hail Mary reminded me why I fell in love with the genre in the first place, it’s smart, heartfelt and full of wonder.
