Anyone who has been reading my reviews knows that I am a typical Historical/Suspense novel lover. Once in a while I get out of my comfort zone and delve into something completely different. Project Hail Mary was one of those leaps into a genre that I normally don't gravitate towards!
I can imagine that anyone who loves Science Fiction and Mystery stories would absolutely love this book. So if there is a Sci-Fi Lover on your Christmas List this book is one for them.
This book is a #1 Best Seller on Amazon and has won much acclaim!
Looking around he finds himself millions of miles away from earth with only his two deceased comrades for company.
What has happened and what is happening? His memories are slowly coming back and he realizes that he has an almost impossible task ahead. One that will be either the salvation of mankind or it's complete demise.
The sun is losing it's strength and the earth is cooling. There is another ICE AGE on the horizon unless he can find a way to capture and/or disarm the alien entity that is causing this loss of heat energy.
What else can possibly happen while Ryland is on this quest?
I found this book to be a total all encompassing read. While there were many parts that I could not wrap my head around, I think the author did an amazing job of making all of this believable, even though I don't necessarily understand all the science around it. I let my imagination run with the possibilities!
Is Earth the only planet that will suffer if the solution to the problem isn't found? Are there other possible populations in outer space that will also suffer this fate? It's time to pick up this book and find out. I can almost guarantee that once you start, you won't want to put this book down again.
I did have to re-read a few chapters in order to get a clearer picture in my mind's eye, but that was not a deterrent or a difficulty because I really wanted to understand the situation better.
Would I recommend this book? You better believe I will. As I said earlier it's not my favorite genre of book, but I think I will need to make an exception in this case. I might even have to get his other book, The Martian and read it too. Broadening my horizons is part of why I love reading.
I'm sure that a Sci-Fi lover would find this book totally engrossing and even the ending has a poignant cast to it.
I think my next read by Andy Weir will be The Martian, that's how much I enjoyed Project Hail Mary!
If you sign up for an Audible Trial you can enjoy both of these books free of charge.
I'm sure that these books will become a favorite for any Science Fiction Lover! Enjoy it, I sure did.
