Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir Book Summary

#1 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.

HUGO AWARD FINALIST • ONE OF THE YEAR’S BEST BOOKS: Bill Gates, GatesNotes, New York Public Library, Parade, Newsweek, Polygon, Shelf Awareness, She Reads, Kirkus Reviews, Library Journal • “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.

I Couldn’t Put It Down!. This is my second Weir book and being a writer myself I am in awe of how he seems to take difficult scientific concepts and explain them in a way that is easy to follow for a non-scientist like me. Additionally, I was unable to put this book down! The ongoing mystery of how the protagonist ended up on the ship is told through flashes of memory interspersed with real-time narration. The adventure continues on a pretty rapid pace with very little down time as the protagonist and his alien friend solve problem after problem with science. Finally, what looks to be a predictable ending does a twist and becomes an amazing conclusion that brought happy tears to my eyes. I highly recommend this book.

Full circle. I always find it fascinating when a story begins with our hero in one setting and ends at that same setting but our hero is now changed. Project Hail Mary gives you the type of conclusion that makes you feel like you are a part of that change. It is a journey that puts you in a crossroads between survival and altruism. Ultimately having you face both the best and the worst sides of what it means to be human.

More please!. Weir has an amazing imagination and ability to turn that imagination into a gripping plot, with lovable characters and humor. As an added bonus the book reminds us that the universe is fascinating.

Fantastic. I’m not typically a fan of sci-fi, but I loved The Martian so much I decided to try this one out. No joke, this book is even better than The Martian. I was addicted, entranced, and invested immediately. Rocky is my new favorite book character.

So… so good.. Like really good. Really.

Best book since sliced bread. I have read a few different books and most books i have liked but none have I liked to read more than this book. I don’t know fancy criticizing or book praising words so I’ll just say that I like this book so much that I bought the physical copy of it. If that’s not enough, I have also read it 15 times over the span of a year. This book is great. I like rockets, I like science, I like weird energy storage methods I like aliens, All those are in this book.

Loved it!. Just like The Martian and Artemis, I have to re-read this great book!

Amazing. Such a thrilling page turner, that sneaks a ton of science education in while being thoroughly entertained.

Great Sci Fi. It's really the main bond between two main characters that is the heart of this story.

Loved it!!!. One of the best books I’ve ever read. And I have read plenty. Thank you, Andy!!!

Enjoyed it!. A happy sci-fi with all the relevant math, science and made up bits. A total fist-bump.

I was addicted to this book. Weir’s “Hail Mary” captivates you in a story of humanity, redemption, love, and mystery. You’ll be drawn in from the beginning with a galaxy of questions that unravels as you read, and you won’t be disappointed with this tale.

such a feel good book. YES

Great characters!. I loved his description of the alien race he encounters!

Superb. Maybe his masterpiece. One of the most absorbing books I have ever read. No spoilers. No summaries. Just go right into it.

Amazing. This immediately became my favorite book. And the voice actors performance and voices is absolutely amazing. I can’t wait to listen to this again and again

Read on paperback. Ten out of ten book

Best book EVER!!!!!!. LOOK AT TITLE.

Truly entertaining, funny, touching, stimulating book. If you love science and have a heart, read this book

Hail Mary. Fascinating from the get go. Well written with plenty of scientific info and familiar references to hold my interest.

Muito bom. Gostei muito

Fantastic book. Absolutely loved it.

Amazing. I’ve never read a book I love so much. It was exciting to get to each new chapter. Such an amazing story!

Best book I’ve read in years!. I laughed, I cried ,and I enjoyed every minute of this INCREDIBLE story! It was PERFECT from beginning to END! Please add it to your library before it’s too late! It’s definitely a Sci Fi CLASSIC!

Very entertaining. Fun nerdy read

Fantastic.. Loved this, I can already see the adapted movie to this.

Great book. Awesome storyline

A New Favorite!. I LOVED this book. It was absolutely not what I was expecting. Funny, endearing, and not so dense with science that you need to understand it all to keep up with the story. I don't usually re-read books but I see myself visiting this one often.

WHAT FUN. AN EPIC ADVENTURE.

Unbelievably Addicting. An enthralling survival tale packed with heavily researched science and sci-fi just beyond the realm of reality, Andy weir has done it again! He rocked the world with his very first novel the Martian and we all had high hopes for his next books. Artemis was good but as crime writing wasn’t his strong suit, it fell short of most people’s expectations. However in Project Hail Mary Andy Weir goes back to what he’s good at and once again blows us away! Buy this book, you won’t regret it and neither will your friends and family when you inevitably make them read it.

Masterpiece. Hooked on this from start to finish. If this were a movie it would be a hit for sure. Cute, goofy, suspenseful and a race to save mankind. A book anybody can read and slowly have their eyes glued to the pages.

Great read. This book is very interesting and great fun!

4.5. More like a 4.5 I really liked the amount of science vs what my husband calls “drama”. In other words, it had a nice balance to where I wasn’t just lost in all the science. It was all mostly understandable. I really liked the relationship between Ryland and his unexpected ally. Very interesting and emotional story of planetary salvation.

Stunning. Haven’t read a newer book that is this good in a long long time.

Really good!. If you liked the Martian, you will like this one!

Bravo, Andy. I did not want this book to end. A wonderful epic.

👍🏻. Very clever story. The intergalactic friendship between the characters is poignant and heartwarming.

I read this book so fast! It had me from the jump!. This is great for readers of all ages. It’s got a science element, friendship, loathing for home just a lot of reasons to love this book. Highly recommend.

Terrific story of space and humans, and possible others. The story is engaging and entertaining. The friendship that Grace and Rocky find is Exemplary. There is nothing like pursuing a common dream.

Love love love it!. My wife and I read this book together, and I was just in love with the voices she came up with for the characters, and the story is very moving, exciting and touching. It always felt like a game to figure out/guess what solution to the new problems that arose during the adventure would be! Very creative and methodically written, enjoyable to the last drop!

Fist bump worthy. Peak storytelling and had me on the edge of my seat!

Hail Mary. A very good book! Exciting from beginning to end!

Immaculate Storytelling. Perfect character storytelling and world building. Not a single boring chapter. Loved everything about this book. I’m a bit late to the Andy Weir bandwagon, but I’m officially hooked! Will be reading LOTS more by this author after this one!

Amazing!!. I wish I could read this book for the first time again. One of the best books I’ve ever read. Honestly amazing

Project Hail Mary. Great story and Rocky was IT for me.

Even better than The Martian. I really enjoyed The Martian but found this book even better. I had a hard time putting it down. It’s a great and inventive story, dramatic at times and funny at others. The scientific details weren’t overwhelming and gave it a level of authenticity. If you liked The Martian, you’ll love this book.

The Hail MaryProject. Really fun story,

Amazing!!!. Loved this book so much!

First sci-fi read. This was my first sci fi book and really enjoyed it! Easy to follow along

Even better than The Martian. Super-ingenious plot. Good characters. Lots of surprises. Weir’s humor is a lot of fun. Just have to skim lightly (or skip) the how-it-works science stuff, but I am sure science nerds would like at least some of that. Altogether a great read, and I look forward to the movie, although I am concerned that they will leave out way too much. They should keep it all!

Sooooo entertaining and mind-expanding. Andy Weir’s writing appeals to the optimist and humanist in me, and it’s deeply funny. If you love high stakes and tear-wrenching compassion, Weir’s the author for you.

Perfect. I loved everything about this book.

Loved it. A great combination of science, humour and suspense.

Hail Mary. So monotonous, slow and boring I thought I might die of old age reading this.

Pretty good. Pretty good but as a biologist myself I’ll say we aren’t nearly as good at math as is depicted in the novel.

Can’t blink. So Addictive. Brilliant book. Beyond from the common brief of an interstellar journey, the author pushed the limits to the unthinkable possibilities beyond this world. Creative SciFi yet sustained in scientific facts. Best book I’ve ever read. Period!

Surprising, funny, and filled will serious science action!. Another wonderful book. The characters immediately grow on you, the plot develops and twists, and keeps you on edge enough to be compelling without being disorienting. What could possibly be better than Danger, Humor, and Science???? :-)

10/10. Took me 9 hours to read and helped as a quick revision for my physics exam lol

Happy happy happy. Best book. Happy, happy happy

Not what I hope for. Very formulaic. Not as engaging as I expected.

Great Book. Fans of The Martian and Artemis will not be disappointed. I don’t want to spoil anything as I went in knowing almost nothing and think that was for the best experience. Just put your faith in the author and he delivers.

Binge reading for science lovers!. I normally don’t read this enthusiastically but I could not put Project Hail Mary down. I’m a science lover (not an expert) and the science felt believable, added so much to the story, and was easy to understand. It gave me the emotional experience I had hoped to experience in the movie Gravity but didn’t until reading this book. I got so emotional near the end. So much to love about the main characters, even their flaws. Just wow. Can’t wait to read what this Andy Weir comes up with next!!

Definitely recommend. The narration of the audiobook is really good and so is the story. And the science They explain is also very intriguing.

Old school hard SF. Read this in a day and a half. Haven’t done that in years. Reminds me of Arthur C Clark, Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle all rolled into one. If you liked The Martian, you’ll love this.

Loved every page. I really enjoy Andy Weir’s writing style and how his books are filled with conflicts. They’re not solved by accident but instead through plausible scientific processes. His “Possible Science Fiction” should be an official genre style. I was attached to this book right from the start and thoroughly enjoyed every page. Looking forward to his next book! Well done!

Incredible. Loved the story from start to finish!! Stayed up way too late reading it 🤓

Amazingly genius!. This is the same author who wrote the Martian in which the movie is based on. He has a new book! I have never been at the edge of my seat by reading a science fiction book as this! This astronaut’s adventure in space to save the human race and earth is thrilling. All his experiments and troubleshooting with ingenuity using science (micro biology, biology, chemistry, physics, etc.) and engineering is so brilliant. I’ve learn so much from just reading this book! Wow! What a great genius book this is! You don’t need to be a nerd to appreciate the science and engineering experience in this book. It was a great ride like an excellent movie! I loved every bit of it.

Joy. A joy to read.

Beautiful. This was a breathtaking story - literally, I breathed sighs of relief and yelped with agony alongside the storyline like a crazy person. It captures an infinite supply of curiosity in mankind, and ignites so much hope in such ironically dire situations. I’m waiting to forget this story for a re-read!

you got me good Andy!. 😭😭😭💓💓💓 the three last words of the book had me bawling

Generally satisfying. It’s a good read, there were some moments when I didn’t believe the science, but I’m not an astrophysicist so it was either “I thought it didn’t make sense” or “it didn’t make sense”. It was probably the former but I enjoyed it nonetheless. It kept me wanting to turn the page and that’s what matters. I enjoy stories that venture to the stars and it delivered.
