Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir
5.0
#50 of 2023 – Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
(4.5 rounded up)
Had to take a little break post-Booker long list because I was BURNT OUT! But I listened to Project Hail Mary in October and it was exactly what I needed.
Project Hail Mary has two story lines – starting in the present with microbiologist Ryland Grace aboard the spacecraft Hail Mary, and the other told in flashbacks of his life on earth leading up to his journey. After an interstellar algae is discovered to be dimming the energy from the sun, Grace leaves his job as a middle school teacher to work on Earth’s most ambitious project yet: preventing the mass extinction of the planet! Cool cool cool! What follows is an epic journey and a desperate race against time to save humanity – and maybe some other life forms too.
