Summary
Z załogi， która wyruszyła na straceńczą misję ostatniej szansy， przeżył jedynie Ryland Grace。 Teraz od niego zależy， czy ludzkość przetrwa。
Tylko że on na razie nie ma o tym pojęcia。 Z początku nawet nie pamięta， kim jest， więc skąd ma wiedzieć， czego się podjął i jak ma tego dokonać？
Na razie wie tylko tyle， że przez bardzo długi czas był pogrążony w śpiączce。 A po przebudzeniu znalazł się niewyobrażalnie daleko od domu。 Całkiem sam， jeśli nie liczyć ciał zmarłych towarzyszy。
Czas płynie nieubłaganie， a oddalony o lata świetlne od innych ludzi Grace jest zdany wyłącznie na siebie。
Ale czy na pewno？

It’s the same schtick every time and I’m tired of it。 The science is fun， sure。 Everyone likes an engineering challenge。 But it pales if there aren’t people involved who feel real。

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers。 To view it， click here。 I listened to Project Hail Mary as an audiobook and boy， it works so well as one。 I can't wait for the movie for it。 This is much better than Artemis in that it takes the best parts of Martian and leans into it。 The author is a smartass middle school science teacher， but he has a lot of flaws， this separates him from Mark Watney who was the world leading biotechnologist in Mars。 This makes him relatable。 The story revolves around Ryland waking up from a coma， he doesn't even know his name until I listened to Project Hail Mary as an audiobook and boy， it works so well as one。 I can't wait for the movie for it。 This is much better than Artemis in that it takes the best parts of Martian and leans into it。 The author is a smartass middle school science teacher， but he has a lot of flaws， this separates him from Mark Watney who was the world leading biotechnologist in Mars。 This makes him relatable。 The story revolves around Ryland waking up from a coma， he doesn't even know his name until memories come flashing back to him， it's a really well executed exposition technique， I didn't find it to be cheesy even though I was expecting to get really tired of it halfway through。 The reason is that the story also involves a "first contact" with another life form。 I'm not going into more detail here， but the earth is being destroyed because of a mysterious particle/being called Astrophage （named by Ryland Grace）， who so happens to have had a not very successful career as an astrobiologist， he had predicted that life doesn't necessarily need the same ingredients as what's available on earth， namely water。 Initially when these particles surviving in Venus next to sun are found， it seems to validate his theory until they look deeper into these particles。 The problem is that these particles are slowly dimming the sun， leading to inevitable death for all humans and beings on earth when sun eventually dims by 10%。 This unites humans in a surprising way to build a ship to go to one star that's unaffected。 This ship is where the protagonist wakes up。 Eventually another alien is found and hijinks ensue。 It's really well done and there are lots of interesting concepts that I haven't come across in science fiction。 While the story starts off dystopian， the story is very sweet and heartwarming overall。 。。。more

I was simply mesmerised by this book。 I could not put it down。 Every free opportunity I had I pulled it out to read it。 The math and the science was quite heavy and a little daunting。 I have to admit I tried to understand it in the beginning but found out that I was much more interested in the story than the math and science of how they got there。 So I ended up skipping that and getting on with the plot。Do you think they'll make a movie out of this？ I sure hope so。 I wonder if the pictures I hav I was simply mesmerised by this book。 I could not put it down。 Every free opportunity I had I pulled it out to read it。 The math and the science was quite heavy and a little daunting。 I have to admit I tried to understand it in the beginning but found out that I was much more interested in the story than the math and science of how they got there。 So I ended up skipping that and getting on with the plot。Do you think they'll make a movie out of this？ I sure hope so。 I wonder if the pictures I have in my imagination would come to fruition on the big screen。。。？？Absolutely amazing book from beginning to end。 。。。more

3 días。 Me ha sido imposible soltar el libro。No creo que vaya a leer ningún libro tan entretenido， tan adictivo y tan emocionante en lo que queda de año。Andy Weir hace que creas que sabes de Ciencias， que te rías en cualquier momento， que te metas ABSOLUTAMENTE en el papel del protagonista， que sientas la épica， la terribilidad de según qué momentos， la alegría de según qué otros momentos 。。。 y todo con un ritmo trepidante que no te deja soltar el libro hasta que lo acabas。Me han llamado mucho l 3 días。 Me ha sido imposible soltar el libro。No creo que vaya a leer ningún libro tan entretenido， tan adictivo y tan emocionante en lo que queda de año。Andy Weir hace que creas que sabes de Ciencias， que te rías en cualquier momento， que te metas ABSOLUTAMENTE en el papel del protagonista， que sientas la épica， la terribilidad de según qué momentos， la alegría de según qué otros momentos 。。。 y todo con un ritmo trepidante que no te deja soltar el libro hasta que lo acabas。Me han llamado mucho la atención las reseñas de 3 o 4 ESCRITORES al final del libro， sobre todo la de Brandon Sanderson， impresiona。 。。。more

Could not put it down！ I think I liked this one even better than The Martian， which I also loved。 I'm going to try not to add any spoilers， but the twist in the middle was phenomenal， the way Grace handled it was so interesting and exciting and joyful and lovely。 The ending made me want to ugly-cry。 Could not put it down！ I think I liked this one even better than The Martian， which I also loved。 I'm going to try not to add any spoilers， but the twist in the middle was phenomenal， the way Grace handled it was so interesting and exciting and joyful and lovely。 The ending made me want to ugly-cry。 。。。more

This is The Martian Part 2。 It was like watching an episode of Mr。 Wizard， lots of little problems， and with Murphy's law in effect， they kept coming。 The ship's computer was a joke， Siri and Alexa have better interfaces。 He never found the mission plan， yet somehow managed to get everything to work。 The big discovery， which ran through most of the book， reeked of Deus ex MachinaThe science and other similar stuff was fun， but the end was flat。 Hope his next book is better This is The Martian Part 2。 It was like watching an episode of Mr。 Wizard， lots of little problems， and with Murphy's law in effect， they kept coming。 The ship's computer was a joke， Siri and Alexa have better interfaces。 He never found the mission plan， yet somehow managed to get everything to work。 The big discovery， which ran through most of the book， reeked of Deus ex MachinaThe science and other similar stuff was fun， but the end was flat。 Hope his next book is better 。。。more

For as long as I can remember， scientists， politicians， and large corporations have gone back and forth about how to best respond to climate change。 The scientific community is at a consensus that Earth's temperature is rising at an alarming rate due in a large part to human-induced emissions and greenhouse gasses。 Despite most agreeing that this is a problem， no one seems to be able to agree on how to resolve it。 In Project Hail Mary， Andy Weir imagines a climate catastrophe that makes our stru For as long as I can remember， scientists， politicians， and large corporations have gone back and forth about how to best respond to climate change。 The scientific community is at a consensus that Earth's temperature is rising at an alarming rate due in a large part to human-induced emissions and greenhouse gasses。 Despite most agreeing that this is a problem， no one seems to be able to agree on how to resolve it。 In Project Hail Mary， Andy Weir imagines a climate catastrophe that makes our struggle with global warming pale in comparison。 In his signature style， Weir writes of the last-ditch attempt to reverse the extinction of the human race， an effort that will take all of mankind coming together to save themselves。 To say the situation that Ryland Grace finds himself in is completely alien to him would be both an understatement and about as accurate as you can get。 As we first meet him， the public school science teacher is as in the dark about his predicament as we are。 Grace has just awakened from a deep sleep。 He's connected to various tubes and wires， each leading to machines that hum and beep quietly in the background。 Moving his body is a chore。 Dr。 Grace aches with each attempt to lift himself from his bed and take in his surroundings。 He sees two other beds that appear similar to his own， though neither of the others is connected to any monitoring devices。 As his physical strength grows， so does his mental capacity。 He can see now that the two other beds contain the lifeless bodies of two people， though Grace doesn't recognize either of them。 More alarming is what lies outside of this room， a vast blackness that both mystifies and startles him。 You see， Dr。 Ryland Grace is in outer space。 The only problem is that he has no idea how he got here or what he is supposed to do next。 After enjoying Andy Weir's previous novel Artemis， I was excited to accept an offer from his publisher to review Project Hail Mary。 Weir is best known for his breakout hit The Martian， and this novel sees him continue to combine his scientific expertise with a compelling story and witty dialogue。 The main character's amnesia adds to the mystery of his situation。 Weir alternates chapters of the past on earth with the present in space， allowing us to discover the motivations of his character without sacrificing any of the suspense of his current predicament。 Both of Weir's previous works were the kind of sci-fi that is rooted firmly in a plausible reality。 Project Hail Mary asks us to suspend disbelief a bit too much for my taste， taking the story into several eye roll-inducing moments。 As the story progressed， things got more and more far-fetched， taking me out of the reality that the first portion of the novel so successfully built。 By that point， however， I was so invested in seeing the story of this character through that I couldn't help but keep reading。 To that end then， Project Hail Mary is ultimately a story of one man tasked with carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders。 It is through the power of this one character that everything else filters through， ultimately making the novel an endearing， if a bit uneven， read。 。。。more

Not quite as compelling as The Martian， but much better than Artemis。 Sometimes it gets bogged down with scientific jargon， but it is a fast read because the life of the earth， and of the protagonist are at stake。 A science teacher is drafted to become part of a team of astronauts who must save the earth when the sun dims。 Add in a strange alien who becomes a charming character， and it's a recipe for suspense。 Not quite as compelling as The Martian， but much better than Artemis。 Sometimes it gets bogged down with scientific jargon， but it is a fast read because the life of the earth， and of the protagonist are at stake。 A science teacher is drafted to become part of a team of astronauts who must save the earth when the sun dims。 Add in a strange alien who becomes a charming character， and it's a recipe for suspense。 。。。more

I'm putting this book （happily） in my top 5 best sci-fi reads of all time。 For reference， I include Herbert's "Dune" and Stephenson's "Snowcrash" among that list。 It's possible my opinion might wane over time though， as I only just finished the book and binged it in its entirety in one day。 I have read Weir's previous hit novel， "The Martian" and I thought it too was a good read， but "Project Hail Mary" is an obvious improvement。Here's what I'll say about the novel without any spoilers。 Pacing i I'm putting this book （happily） in my top 5 best sci-fi reads of all time。 For reference， I include Herbert's "Dune" and Stephenson's "Snowcrash" among that list。 It's possible my opinion might wane over time though， as I only just finished the book and binged it in its entirety in one day。 I have read Weir's previous hit novel， "The Martian" and I thought it too was a good read， but "Project Hail Mary" is an obvious improvement。Here's what I'll say about the novel without any spoilers。 Pacing is very well done。 The worldbuilding was convincing enough that I was able to suspend disbelief and just enjoy it。 In classic Weir fashion， the story throws a lot of surprises at the reader but he manages to strike a satisfying balance between keeping things interesting and keeping things believable （I never personally had a moment of saying， "Oh， come on！ That's fucking bullshit， that you the author are choosing to make xyz thing happen！"）。 As a reader you can tell that every element of this story was meticulously planned before the first word was put down。 If at any point you start to think， "Isn't this kind of an over-done trope？" I can assure you that if you just have patience the story will show you why it's still a fresh take。Lots to admire about this story。 I'll be recommending to anyone that likes a good Science Fiction adventure。P。S。 I took Physics all the way up to Fluid Dynamics and didn't take issue with any of the hard science elements。 。。。more
