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 imagine it, 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.

'Andy Weir's brilliant Project Hail Mary...is one of those stirring sci-fi novels about every government on Earth banding together, through science, to save civilisation from collapse. I loved it.' THE TIMES

'A suspenseful portrait of human ingenuity and resilience [that] builds to an unexpectedly moving ending. A winner.' PUBLISHERS WEEKLY

'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

Autorenporträt

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.

An engaging space odyssey. The New York Times Book Review

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)
