Project Hail Mary: A Novel

Ryland Grace wakes alone on a spacecraft millions of miles from Earth with no memory of his own name, his mission, or how he arrived there. Two dead crewmates are his only companions. As his memories slowly return, he realizes he is the sole survivor of a last-chance mission critical to humanity's survival. If he fails, both Earth and humanity will perish. With the clock ticking and no other humans within light-years, Grace must solve an impossible scientific mystery and confront an extinction-level threat to the species. Alone in his tiny ship hurtling through space, he works to puzzle out his assignment and complete it before it is too late. Or perhaps he is not entirely alone. Project Hail Mary is a tale of discovery, speculation, and survival set in deep space, taking readers to places beyond the scope of Weir's previous work.
