About this listen

THE #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER FROM THE AUTHOR OF THE MARTIAN • Soon to be a major motion picture starring Ryan Gosling, directed by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, with a screenplay by Drew Goddard

Winner of the 2022 Audie Awards' Audiobook of the Year

Number-One Audible and New York Times Audio Best Seller

More than two million audiobooks sold

A lone astronaut must save the earth from disaster in this incredible new science-based thriller from the number-one New York Times best-selling author of The Martian.

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, he realizes that an impossible task now confronts him. Alone on this tiny ship that's been cobbled together by every government and space agency on the planet and hurled into the depths of space, it's up to him to conquer an extinction-level threat to our species.

And thanks to an unexpected ally, he just might have a chance.

Part scientific mystery, part dazzling interstellar journey, Project Hail Mary is a tale of discovery, speculation, and survival to rival The Martian - while taking us to places it never dreamed of going.

PLEASE NOTE: To accommodate this audio edition, some changes to the original text have been made with the approval of author Andy Weir.

I must admit it felt a bit dull at the beginning, or maybe I wasn't ready for it. We can see a definite evolution in Andy's story telling, in a good way. I was expecting another Martian and got something more along the lines of what we would expect from Heinlein, but with the usual great science description we learn to love. Great story twists. Ray Porter was also the perfect voice (same voice in The Bobverse) for this book. I'm sure I will listen to this book several more times.

Definitely not what I was expecting, in a good way

Remember in The Martian, “They’re going to science the shit out of it?!”
Hold my beer!!!
This author is brilliant. You don’t need any science background to understand this book, he very simply explains everything.
What an absolutely brilliant book!
It’s so addictive. It’s so clever. It’s soooo interesting.
I highly recommend this book.
But beware, it’ll consume you. It’s an entirely new concept and its magnificent.
The narrator is utterly perfect.
Excited to see how Hollywood adapts this.

Wow! Absolutely Astonishing!

I listened to this over a period of two days and didn’t want it to end. The narration is absolutely perfect. Ray Porter did such an amazing job on this. He brought so much humour to this story through his voice as Grace and Rocky and I laughed out loud on several occasions. So the narration was an absolute joy to listen to.
The story was so, so very clever. I mean unbelievably clever. Andy Weir is so smart, he has such a brilliant mind and has the most amazing imagination, this story just proves this point. The characters were well written and I actually felt like I knew them the more I got into this story. The relationship between Rocky and Grace was so beautiful and sincere.
I was able to imagine what they must have looked like and the environment they lived in. The detail and descriptions of the characters and their environment was so clear and easy to imagine.
I can’t recommend this book enough. Honestly, it is one of the best things I’ve ever had the pleasure of listening to or reading!! If I could give it more than 5 stars then I absolutely would.

Brilliant
