Reviews
"A crowd-pleaser on the grandest scale." -- The Boston Globe "An engaging space odyssey." -- The New York Times Book Review (Editors' Choice) "Dazzling." -- Vulture "Funny, well plotted, and full of surprises." -- The Guardian "A joy to read." -- Locus "The ultimate page-turner." -- Daily Mail "Weir spins a space yarn in a way only he can. Fans of his earlier works won't be disappointed." -- Newsweek "Andy Weir proves once again that he is a singular talent. Project Hail Mary is so fascinating and propulsive that it's downright addictive. From the first page as Ryland wakes up not knowing who or where he is, I was hooked." --Taylor Jenkins Reid, New York Times bestselling author of Daisy Jones & The Six "Reading Project Hail Mary is like going on a field trip to outer space with the best science teacher you've ever had--and your class assignment is to save the world. This is one of the most original, compelling, and fun voyages I've ever taken." --Ernest Cline, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Ready Player One "Two worlds in peril, a competent (but flawed and human) man, a competent alien, unending scientific puzzles to unravel, with humanity itself at risk, this one has everything fans of old school SF (like me) love. If you like a lot of science in your science fiction, Andy Weir is the writer for you." --George R. R. Martin, New York Times bestselling author of A Game of Thrones "I loved The Martian, but I actually find Project Hail Mary to be Mr. Weir's finest work to date. It's somehow both exciting, yet also personal. I'm constantly amazed by how well Mr. Weir continues to write wonderfully accessible science fiction without compromising either the science or the fiction." --Brandon Sanderson, New York Times bestselling author of the Stormlight Archive series "Brilliantly funny and enjoyable . . . one of the most plausible science fiction books I've ever read." --Tim Peake, ESA astronaut and internationally bestselling author of Limitless "Thrilling doesn't even begin to describe Project Hail Mary , which is undisputedly the best book I've read in a very, very long time . . . I cheered, I laughed (a lot), I cried, and when the twist arrived and the book revealed its true target, my jaw hit the floor. Mark my words: Project Hail Mary is destined to become a classic." --Blake Crouch, New York Times bestselling author of Recursion and Dark Matter "Readers may find themselves consuming this emotionally intense and thematically profound novel in one stay-up-all-night-until-your-eyes-bleed sitting. An unforgettable story of survival and the power of friendship--nothing short of a science fiction masterwork."-- Kirkus Reviews (starred review), "Andy Weir proves once again that he is a singular talent.

Mark my words: Project Hail Mary is destined to become a classic." --Blake Crouch, New York Times bestselling author of Recursion and Dark Matter "A joy to read . . . with Project Hail Mary, Weir is leaning hard into all that made The Martian kick." -- Locus "Readers may find themselves consuming this emotionally intense and thematically profound novel in one stay-up-all-night-until-your-eyes-bleed sitting. An unforgettable story of survival and the power of friendship--nothing short of a science fiction masterwork."-- Kirkus Reviews (starred review), " Project Hail Mary is a novel that would have delighted Robert A. Heinlein and Isaac Asimov. Two worlds in peril, a competent (but flawed and human) man, a competent alien, unending scientific puzzles to unravel, with humanity itself at risk, this one has everything fans of old school SF (like me) love. If you like a lot of science in your science fiction, Andy Weir is the writer for you." --George R.R. Martin, New York Times bestselling author of A Game of Thrones "Brilliantly funny and enjoyable. One of the most plausible science fiction books I've ever read." --Tim Peake, ESA astronaut and internationally bestselling author of Limitless "Thrilling doesn't even begin to describe Project Hail Mary , which is undisputedly the best book I've read in a very, very long time. Chock full of the mind-blowing science in death-defying situations that made Weir a star with The Martian, this tour-de-force even transcends that work as it becomes a profoundly moving celebration of friendship and sacrifice. I cheered, I laughed (a lot), I cried, and when the twist arrived and the book revealed its true target, my jaw hit the floor. Mark my words: Project Hail Mary is destined to become a classic." --Blake Crouch, New York Times bestselling author of Recursion and Dark Matter "I loved The Martian , but I actually find Project Hail Mary to be Mr. Weir's finest work to date. It's somehow both exciting, yet also personal. I'm constantly amazed by how well Mr. Weir continues to write wonderfully accessible science fiction without compromising either the science or the fiction. This is the one book I read last year that I am certain I can recommend to anyone, no matter who, and know they'll love it." --Brandon Sanderson, New York Times bestselling author of The Stormlight Archive "Readers may find themselves consuming this emotionally intense and thematically profound novel in one stay-up-all-night-until-your-eyes-bleed sitting. An unforgettable story of survival and the power of friendship--nothing short of a science-fiction masterwork." -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "A suspenseful portrait of human ingenuity and resilience [that] builds to an unexpectedly moving ending. A winner." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review) "Weir returns with gusto . . . his writing flows naturally, and his characters and dialogue crackle with energy. With this novel, he takes his place as a genuine star in the mainstream SF world." -- Booklist (starred review)
