Project Hail Mary From the bestselling author of The Martian Paperback

Ryland Grace wakes alone on a spacecraft with no memory of who he is, two dead crewmates beside him and a problem that will not wait. Andy Weir builds the story from two alternating strands, one aboard the ship and one recovering how the mission came about, and keeps the science doing real narrative work as the protagonist reasons his way through each obstacle in turn. What begins as an isolation story turns into something stranger once he discovers he is not the only one out there. This Del Rey paperback runs to 496 pages.
