Project Hail Mary (2021) Book Review

As an aspiring academic, I believed I had lost all innovative latency and was searching for some impetus to assist with boosting my interest for science and the scholarly world. That was the point at which I risked upon Andy Weir’s most recent book – Project Hail Mary (2021). This is his third novel after The Martian (2011) and Artemis (2017).

Synopsis

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.Goodreads

Project Hail Mary Book Review

Concerning my review, I feel it is ideal in the event that I reveal the least data since it is one of those books which is ideal to begin not knowing the slightest bit about it ahead of time. Get the job done to say, it starts with our hero awakening alone with amnesia on board a spaceship and he needs to now sort out what his chances are in this condition.

I would not have even referenced the plot point in regards to space yet this aspect is outlined clearly in the blurb.

In any case, the book is uncertainly an unputdownable read and it has Andy Weir’s signature writing style written all over it. On the off-chance that you partook in The Martian, you ought to partake in this too. I would even say Project Hail Mary has a more well-defined plot than The Martian which I liked but did not love, and was one of my main reasons for not picking up Weir’s second release Artemis, though now most certainly I shall grab a copy ASAP.

To end with, not only if you’re a fan of Andy Weir, but an ardent admirer of high-quality science fiction in general, then Weir’s latest offering, Project Hail Mary, would be the right fit for you.

The Rating

4 out of 5.
