Project Hail Mary

 

Project Hail Mary / Andy Weir, 476 pg.


Hell YES, Andy Weir is back!  Author of The Martian returns with his third book after a middling second book and all I can do is say Hail Mary!  This book is great. Our protagonist wakes up on a space ship on his way to save the world.  He can't remember much after being in a coma for several years of travel, unfortunately his fellow crew members did not survive.  Out there by himself, he is trying to find a solution to the problem of our sun being eaten.  In so many ways, the next sentences could be a spoiler.  Instead, I will tell you that there is a lot of fairly plausible science and a heart warming friendship in this story told in present day with flash backs to how we got there.  Fascinating stuff!
