Summary

Ryland Grace es el único superviviente en una misión desesperada。 Es la última oportunidad y， si fracasa， la humanidad y la Tierra misma perecerán。

Claro que， de momento， él no lo sabe。 Ni siquiera puede recordar su propio nombre， y mucho menos la naturaleza de su misión o cómo llevarla a cabo。

Lo único que sabe es que ha estado en coma inducido durante mucho mucho tiempo。 Acaba de despertar y se encuentra a millones de kilómetros de su hogar， sin más compañía que la de dos cadáveres。

Muertos sus compañeros de tripulación， y a medida que va recuperando confusamente los recuerdos， Grace se da cuenta de que se enfrenta a una misión imposible。 Recorriendo el espacio en una pequeña nave， depende de él acabar con una amenaza de extinción para nuestra especie。

Sin apenas tiempo y con el ser humano más cercano a años luz de distancia， habrá de conseguirlo estando completamente solo。

Love it。 Read the whole darn thing in two days。 Hard science woven into the narrative so that the exposition feels natural。 I don't know what else to say without possibly spoiling things but it was a very good book。 I haven't listened to the audio book yet， but Ray Porter is one of the best narrators in the business so if you're not into reading then give it a listen。 Love it。 Read the whole darn thing in two days。 Hard science woven into the narrative so that the exposition feels natural。 I don't know what else to say without possibly spoiling things but it was a very good book。 I haven't listened to the audio book yet， but Ray Porter is one of the best narrators in the business so if you're not into reading then give it a listen。 。。。more

Fast and funI enjoyed Weir's The Martian and picked this up when a friend told me it was out。 Project Hail Mary draws you in from the first page and keeps your interest page to page and chapter to chapter until its surprising and satisfying end。 Sure there's a lot of science， but Weird explains it so well that we all feel like scientists by the end。 If it weren't for work， I would have finished in two days， but three days is fine too。 Recommended escapism fun！ Fast and funI enjoyed Weir's The Martian and picked this up when a friend told me it was out。 Project Hail Mary draws you in from the first page and keeps your interest page to page and chapter to chapter until its surprising and satisfying end。 Sure there's a lot of science， but Weird explains it so well that we all feel like scientists by the end。 If it weren't for work， I would have finished in two days， but three days is fine too。 Recommended escapism fun！ 。。。more

I enjoyed both The Martian and Artemis so I pre-ordered this one and started it immediately。 It did not disappoint。 Andy Weir is one of my favorite authors and Ray Porter is one of my favorite narrators so this combination is a win-win。 The narration is superb and the writing is great。 I recommend this book。 Don't over think it。 This is worth the price of admission。 Disclaimer: My enjoyment of the narrator is based on my listening speed。 I only leave 5 stars for books I've listened to or will li I enjoyed both The Martian and Artemis so I pre-ordered this one and started it immediately。 It did not disappoint。 Andy Weir is one of my favorite authors and Ray Porter is one of my favorite narrators so this combination is a win-win。 The narration is superb and the writing is great。 I recommend this book。 Don't over think it。 This is worth the price of admission。 Disclaimer: My enjoyment of the narrator is based on my listening speed。 I only leave 5 stars for books I've listened to or will listen to multiple times。 。。。more

Not nearly as funny as the Martian but just as detailed with exploration and problem solving: a science rich environment。 And knowing Weir I'm sure it's all based on actual or probable science， so it was pretty fascinating。 Also PG rated and suitable for Young Adults and hence not nearly as memorable and rereadable。 Not nearly as funny as the Martian but just as detailed with exploration and problem solving: a science rich environment。 And knowing Weir I'm sure it's all based on actual or probable science， so it was pretty fascinating。 Also PG rated and suitable for Young Adults and hence not nearly as memorable and rereadable。 。。。more

The Martian was my favorite book the year it came out。 And the year after that and probably another year or two as well。 Its combination of optimism， human ingenuity， care and humor in the face of overwhelming odds and isolation worked for me and for a lot of other people。 I think I gave that book as a gift 10 times， including to my dad， who really liked it even if he thought it was 'vulgar'。 Dad's not here for your F-bombs， Andy。I didn't love Artemis， the Mars-set 2nd novel， but Project Hail Ma The Martian was my favorite book the year it came out。 And the year after that and probably another year or two as well。 Its combination of optimism， human ingenuity， care and humor in the face of overwhelming odds and isolation worked for me and for a lot of other people。 I think I gave that book as a gift 10 times， including to my dad， who really liked it even if he thought it was 'vulgar'。 Dad's not here for your F-bombs， Andy。I didn't love Artemis， the Mars-set 2nd novel， but Project Hail Mary is really a return to the strengths of the Martian。 Weir seems to have realized he's not great at a large cast or multiple POVs。 At least， he's not using them here。 What he is using his human ingenuity， comedy and care in surplus。A man wakes up on a spaceship without his memory， sandwiched between two companions who died in transit。 He can't remember his name - and can't open any doors on the ship without it - much less why he's on this ship at first。 You could make a whole short story out of just that， but this is a novel and that's just the first two chapters。 No faffing about after that - our man realizes he's on a spaceship that's on a mission to save Earth from sun-eating aliens。 So why's he at Tau Centauri？ And。。。 and isn't he a junior high science teacher？ How did he make the grade？ And who's in this other spaceship？？Anyway this was right up my alley。 Weir loves using his stories to share science。 I'm too lazy to go confirm whether it's good science， but it's enjoyably done and not too dense。 Our main character is not that different from the guy of the Martian - a socially disconnected charmer with resilience and big brain energy - but I am ok with that。 I read this in one day。 。。。more

If you liked The Martian， you’ll love Hail MaryAll the problem solving and struggle for survival， but taken to a new level。 As usual， Weir does a thorough job of making his science simultaneously fantastic and accurate。 I really enjoyed this book and I look forward to enjoying the inevitable blockbuster movie。

A dude is left alone in deep space after losing his crewmates; but the dude is a scientist and manages to find a smart solution to every problem he encounters in such an unfriendly environment。You say this sounds like The Martian？ Nope， this is the "new" novel by Andy Weir， and it is a bad book badly written。It’s a bad book because the plot is so blatantly implausible to be silly。 The author must think that stuffing every page with loads of scientific data and explanations makes a story plausibl A dude is left alone in deep space after losing his crewmates; but the dude is a scientist and manages to find a smart solution to every problem he encounters in such an unfriendly environment。You say this sounds like The Martian？ Nope， this is the "new" novel by Andy Weir， and it is a bad book badly written。It’s a bad book because the plot is so blatantly implausible to be silly。 The author must think that stuffing every page with loads of scientific data and explanations makes a story plausible; except it does not。The continued quirkiness of the smart-arse narrating voice after a while started getting to me， and in the long run it detracted from the seriousness of the story; it’s like one long witty joke。 In a movie such effect would be nicely counterbalanced by breathtaking deep space images （like in The Martian）; in a book that is all you get and the result was annoying。The author is also very keen to let us know he’s done his research homework so large parts of the book read like Lancet articles。Character development is a most common deficit in sci-fi， but Hail Mary touches a new low; plentiful carton board and cliches here。。。。I probably could have gone on and on and on…。if I hadn’t reached the point where I felt insulted in my intelligence and quit half way through。 。。。more

Not as good as The Martian but better than Artemis。 Enjoyed all the science attention to detail。

Really fun and imaginative sci-fi。 It’s obvious to draw comparisons to The Martian—both feature a snarky， smart protagonist trying to survive in space。 Project Hail Mary ups the stakes considerably， but it still delivers the same satisfying sciencing-the-shit-out-of-this。 Like with The Martian， I wish there were more of an epilogue。 I would have loved to check in with some of the Earth characters at the end of the book。

Better than The Martian。 Which， I mean， I really like the Martian and I didn't really expect to be saying that before I started this。 But， yep， better than the Martian。I think that'll be a subjective opinion depending on tastes in stories but I think it's very fair to say if you enjoyed The Martian you will enjoy this one。 The Watney lookalike character is slightly more fleshed out。 The major problem to be solved is more expansive。 There's just as much science-ing the shit out of things。 Same ty Better than The Martian。 Which， I mean， I really like the Martian and I didn't really expect to be saying that before I started this。 But， yep， better than the Martian。I think that'll be a subjective opinion depending on tastes in stories but I think it's very fair to say if you enjoyed The Martian you will enjoy this one。 The Watney lookalike character is slightly more fleshed out。 The major problem to be solved is more expansive。 There's just as much science-ing the shit out of things。 Same type of clever dialog and first person experience。 A more technically proficient framing of stories。 While Artemis was a pretty sharp turn away from his break-out debut he dialed in MUCH closer this time around and I think he's overall grown as a storyteller。Maybe I'll change my mind and I'm just coming down off the glow of this one but I burned right through this just like The Martian。 I had just as much fun and， for me， I think he's gotten better。Five stars and trading out Weir novels on my top five percent presently。 。。。more

While I wasn't all that thrilled with his 2nd book， this one is fantastic。 Easily matching （perhaps even beyond） 'The Martian'。 While there are some skips/plot holes （items where I found I just had to practice a little 'suspension of （dis）belief' in order to proceed） they were not glaring and the story flows nicely。 While I wasn't all that thrilled with his 2nd book， this one is fantastic。 Easily matching （perhaps even beyond） 'The Martian'。 While there are some skips/plot holes （items where I found I just had to practice a little 'suspension of （dis）belief' in order to proceed） they were not glaring and the story flows nicely。 。。。more

Bloody brilliantI have read other books by Andy Weir， so thought I would give this a shot。Read it in two sittings， staying up late both times， much to my wife’s disgust。It’s a proper hard science page turner and I’m sad I have finished it。Thoroughly recommend。

I never thought Andy Weir would be able to top The Martian but he certainly has done it。 All the elements of classic Sci-if with an Andy Weir twist！ Loved the ending， couldn’t have been a more perfect ending for the story。
