PROJECT HAIL MARY is the latest work of science fiction by Andy
Weir, author of The
Martian and of Artemis, and this new book is my favorite. Weir again provides laugh out loud
observations from a sarcastic, science-oriented nerd who is literally lost in
space. The main character, Ryland
Grace, is a junior high science teacher whose expertise and past willingness to
think outside the box makes him an invaluable addition to a harrowing project
to save Earth. For some reason, the sun is shrinking and scientists around the
world collaborate to discover why, ultimately sending a team to space. There, Grace finds an explorer (whom he
affectionately names Rocky) from another planet. Their tale of survival and
friendship is not to be missed. PROJECT
HAIL MARY received starred reviews from Booklist, Kirkus, Library Journal and Publishers Weekly and was a LibraryReads selection for May 2021.
