Project Hail Mary
Project Hail Mary
By Andy Weir
Project Hail Mary 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, 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?

I watched the movie before I read this book, and as much as I adored the book, I'm going to have to say the movie was better! (Which I literally NEVER say. Shocks me too!) However, this book was absolutely incredible, beautifully thought out and well executed, with just the right amount of physics involved. I instantly felt smarter after finishing this, LOL. It definitely makes sense that this is one of the best books of 2026!
Content Warnings: This book was clearly written for adult men, so definitely keep that in mind before reading. This book contains nudity, moderate sexual innuendo, drug use, drinking, medical content, suicidal thoughts, death, and moderate language. I'd definitely recommend this for ages 18+. Happy reading!
