Project Hail Mary: The Sci-Fi Thriller That Defies Expectations and Challenges Reality
So the governments of the world came up with this idea called “Project Hail Mary” where they send a ship to a star called Eres, which is the only star that isn’t dimming. Three people will be sent – a pilot, an engineer, and a scientist – to figure out what’s happening, send their data back to earth, and then, since they don’t have enough fuel for a round trip, die.
Well, two of the crew die while in an induced coma on the trip, leaving just Ryland Grace, the scientist who was chosen, to save the world. And Ryland is completely out of his depth. He’s been working as a school teacher for the last few years. And Ryland just doesn’t believe he can do this alone.
