Synopsis:

Ryland Grace wakes up alone on a spaceship with no memory of who he is or how he got there. As fragments of his past return, he realizes he’s on a desperate mission to save Earth from extinction. Armed only with his science background and sheer determination, he has to solve the impossible—or humanity won’t survive.

My Thoughts:

This book blew me away! It’s witty, surprisingly emotional, and packed with clever science that feels fun instead of overwhelming. I adored the mix of humor, tension, and heart. It kept me turning pages late into the night. If The Martian was a favorite, Project Hail Mary takes it up a notch. Easily one of the best sci-fi adventures I’ve read.

📚Final Verdict:

I highly suggest the audiobook, it really brings the story to life.
