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.

Holy cow. Loved the book on reading it the first time, but the audio book is even more fun. 

ROCKY IS THE BEST COMPANION EVER AND IM KIND OF OBSESSED HES SO AWESOME, and Ryland isn’t bad either :) he’s a likeable protagonist that I genuinely enjoyed following.

AND ALSO THAT ENDING IS SO SWEET AND PERFECT I’m very enthusiastic about how that made me feel it was so nice

People criticize this author for his writing style . Honestly, I think it makes science more accessible to the public.

4.5 stars - this book is very science heavy which was rough at some points, but it was so inspiring and made me laugh, cry, and shocked throughout. Makes you really think about life! I am obsessed with Rocky <3
