Project Hail Mary Review
From an author who knows his science comes this epic story of one man's fight to save his planet. I liked how I learned what as happening, the stakes, and what the protagonist needed to do with him through the progressive return of his memories through well-written flashbacks.It keep the mystery gaping for a good part of the book with some later unexpected revelations from his memory.
How Weir handled first contact and the relationship that ensues are very well crafted and ‘believable’ in the setting. There some surprises that keep me engaged. The science is deep but explained simply and in the context of the scenes in which they have relevance, making it a welcome part of the story.
I chose the excellent audiobook version, which kept me fully invested from start to finish. If you like ‘sciencey’ sci-fi, think you'll love Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir, author of The Martian.
