This is how a science fiction book is written, with science in it. It is Mr. Andy Weir’s third novel, after 2011's The Martian, and 2017's Artemis.
It is going to remind you of The Martian but think of The Martian as a kindergartener and this book as a senior about to graduate. Sometimes my brother tells me not to praise a book so much to the point of making people think that I am getting paid to promote a book, this book is one of those books where I want to tell the reader to just buy the book and start reading. It is AMAZING.
While reading this, I don’t know why, I wanted to reread the classic “2001: A Space Odyssey” by one of the science fiction giants, Arthur C. Clarke. (My next review is going to be of this great book)
The characters are all loveable but in some cases, can feel two-dimensional but it doesn’t get in the way of the story and you are surely going to finish the book in four to five hours max. Once you start you’ll finish or won’t be able to concentrate on anything else until you are done with this book.
Only a few letdowns. If you think the environment is safe and global warming is fake, and if you think science, engineering, and electric issues in a spaceship can’t happen, then do not read this or be warned that it is kind of based on real science that some people think is not real. The book can be a little bit longer for some readers who don’t like to read the details of how stuff works and how something happened.
I am giving the rating based on the people who are connected with the paragraph above this one; otherwise, it is a hundred percent recommended book.
Synopsis:
“NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From the author of The Martian, a lone astronaut must save the earth from disaster in this “propulsive” (Entertainment Weekly), cinematic thriller full of suspense, humor, and fascinating science—in development as a major motion picture starring Ryan Gosling.
“An epic story of redemption, discovery and cool speculative sci-fi.”—USA Today
“If you loved The Martian, you’ll go crazy for Weir’s latest.”—The Washington Post
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 deliver, 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.”
