Those things all come together for a story that is so many things, from riveting discovery to laugh-and-cry characters to fist-pumping ingenuity. The surprises keep coming chapter by chapter, making for a fast, fun read that puts you right alongside Ryland as he solves-with math, of course-the universe's greatest mysteries in an epic attempt to save planet Earth.įor a book driven by science, Project Hail Mary is fueled by so much heart it’s also about hope, the human condition, and unlikely friendships. As he puts the pieces together, the secrets of the titular project are revealed, twisting and turning the story in ways that really shouldn't be spoiled at all. When Ryland Grace wakes up alone aboard a strange spacecraft, he must discover why he's hurtling through the cosmos far from Earth-and why he can't remember his life. Project Hail Mary continues that tradition. That makes math a superpower, and one of the things I adore about Andy Weir is that his heroes use math and science to get out of any jam. Numbers are the cause of and solution to every problem. In fact, I tell my daughter that everything is numbers, from music to technology to sports. Before I was a science-fiction writer, I was an engineer, which means I learned to see the world in numbers. ![]()
