Description

Ryland Grace wakes up alone.

He has no idea who he is.
No idea where he is.
And no memory of why he's there.

The only clues are two dead crewmates beside him and the unsettling realization that he's very, very far from Earth.

As his memories slowly return, Ryland discovers a terrifying truth: he is humanity's last hope.

A mysterious phenomenon is causing the sun—and countless other stars—to lose energy, threatening extinction on a planetary scale. The mission he volunteered for was humanity's final attempt to solve the crisis before Earth becomes uninhabitable.

The problem?

He's millions of miles from home.
Completely alone.
And the fate of the entire human race rests on his shoulders.

But as Ryland begins unraveling the scientific mystery, he encounters something he never expected:

An ally.

One whose existence could change everything humanity knows about life in the universe.

Packed with brilliant science, humor, suspense, and heart, Project Hail Mary is an unforgettable story of survival, friendship, and ingenuity that blends the problem-solving brilliance of The Martian with an epic interstellar adventure.
