Samotny astronauta musi uratować Ziemię przed katastrofą. Czas płynie nieubłaganie, a oddalony o lata świetlne od innych ludzi Ryland Grace jest zdany wyłącznie na siebie. Ale czy na pewno?

Z załogi, która wyruszyła na straceńczą misję ostatniej szansy, przeżył jedynie Ryland Grace. Teraz od niego zależy, czy ludzkość przetrwa. Tylko że on na razie nie ma o tym pojęcia. Z początku nawet nie pamięta, kim jest, więc skąd ma wiedzieć, czego się podjął i jak ma tego dokonać? Na razie wie tylko tyle, że przez bardzo długi czas był pogrążony w śpiączce. A po przebudzeniu znalazł się niewyobrażalnie daleko od domu. Całkiem sam, jeśli nie liczyć ciał zmarłych towarzyszy…

Not a Weir fan

Waking up, attached to strange medical equipment, he realises that he doesn’t know where he is, why he’s there, or who he even is.

The concept is fine, interesting even, but I do not enjoy Weir’s writing style. In fact, I’d forgotten just how much I dislike it in the decade since I read “The Martian”.

I find Weir tediously didactic, he over-explains everything, and so many plot points are so blatantly telegraphed, it makes a mockery of his supposedly intelligent characters. Speaking of which, I really don’t like Weir’s characters, particularly the protagonist.

Ryland Grace is a cardboard cut-out who cracks unfunny “jokes”, and tiresomely describes his every move. Grace’s character is just flat, despite him crying constantly (that’s how we know he is sad), or him being the coolest teacher ever.

Weir is not for me, I shall stop reading Weir.

Like eating a whole bag of potato chips

I had fun reading this and ripped through it, which is basically what I needed for post-holiday slump. Now I have a good reading habit and can read better stuff with more focus, yay. Fun story and enjoyed the science and comfortingly rhythmic problem-solving, and the alien stuff was cool. But ultimately I can't say I thought it was good.

Review of 'Project Hail Mary' on 'Storygraph'

No rating

Definitely a worth while read. I'm glad he did not get back to Earth. It's better left to the reader what happened after saving Rocky.

Pure entertainment

I think this will be the book I recommend the most this year. It is entertaining from beginning to end. If you like sci-fi or space stories, read it. If you don't, read it anyway because you will laugh. It is very rare that I tear through a book in the span of a day, but, and I apologise for the cliché, I could not put this book down.
