Publisher's Summary

Winner of the 2022 Audie Awards' Audiobook of the Year

Number-One Audible and New York Times Audio Best Seller

More than one million audiobooks sold

A lone astronaut must save the earth from disaster in this incredible new science-based thriller from the number-one New York Times best-selling author of The Martian.

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, he realizes that an impossible task now confronts him. Alone on this tiny ship that's been cobbled together by every government and space agency on the planet and hurled into the depths of space, it's up to him to conquer an extinction-level threat to our species.

And thanks to an unexpected ally, he just might have a chance.

Part scientific mystery, part dazzling interstellar journey, 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.

PLEASE NOTE: To accommodate this audio edition, some changes to the original text have been made with the approval of author Andy Weir.

Brilliant

I devoured this audiobook. The story is absolutely superb. Everything you would want from a Weir novel: indepth science within an incredibly rich and engaging story. If you enjoyed The Martian and/or Artemis this story will not disappoint; if you haven't read either of those download them after you finish this.

don’t scroll past - pick this one!

I had never read Weir nor heard Porter … I’m searching for both of them again for my next listen!!

Such a great story - had me laughing & crying - a great listen with many parallels to the pandemic & how friendship, science & working together are all the elements we need to survive.

Loved it.

Highly recommend.

Great idea, very much enjoyed.

Though it was a little slow to start waking up from a coma, i was quickly hooked and couldnt stop listening. Luckily my job allows me to listen at work and i was able to finish in 3 days. Really enjoyed the overall story and especially the performance by Ray Porter. This book read ALOT like any of the Bobiverse books; i'm not sure if that is Porters perforance style of the book itself but i liked it regardless. I would have liked to have a bit more closure on the state of Earth at the end, but that doesnt change my opinion. Good story, good listen. Maybe skip this one if you dont like long sciency discussions and experimentation.

Wow

I thought he couldn’t do anything that could compare with the Martian. Spend a credit and check out a truly unique and fun read. Couldn’t put it down

loved this book

this book was so humourous and so well scientifically researched. the narrator also did a marvolous job. i was sad when it was done.
