About this listen

THE #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER FROM THE AUTHOR OF THE MARTIAN • Soon to be a major motion picture starring Ryan Gosling, directed by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, with a screenplay by Drew Goddard

Winner of the 2022 Audie Awards' Audiobook of the Year

Number-One Audible and New York Times Audio Best Seller

More than two million audiobooks sold

A lone astronaut must save the earth from disaster in this incredible new science-based thriller from the number-one New York Times best-selling author of The Martian.

Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission - and if he fails, humanity and the Earth itself will perish.

Except that right now, he doesn't know that. He can't even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it.

All he knows is that he's been asleep for a very, very long time. And he's just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company.

His crewmates dead, his memories fuzzily returning, he realizes that an impossible task now confronts him. Alone on this tiny ship that's been cobbled together by every government and space agency on the planet and hurled into the depths of space, it's up to him to conquer an extinction-level threat to our species.

And thanks to an unexpected ally, he just might have a chance.

Part scientific mystery, part dazzling interstellar journey, Project Hail Mary is a tale of discovery, speculation, and survival to rival The Martian - while taking us to places it never dreamed of going.

This was an excellent tale of struggle, sacrifice, teamwork and friendship in the fight against world ending destruction. Both the story and performance of the audiobook were top calibre. A must read, particularly if you enjoyed The Martian.

I simply loved the story. I am an avid user of audiobooks but still enjoy reading as well and I have to say I think this is the first time I felt the performance was adding to the quality of the story. Highly recommend for an enjoyable listen.

Another great piece of imaginative writing from Andy Weir. If you enjoyed the Martian you’ll also enjoy this book. If you felt more than a bit overwhelmed by the high-level technical content of the Martian, you’ll feel exactly the same again.
A lot of the physical and chemical content of this book went straight over my head, but I still really enjoyed the story.
Ray Porter‘s performance was a good match for the books content.
Highly recommended, but you should know in advance what you’re getting yourself into.

Great story, especially if you lean towards neurdism

Not only a perfect Andy Weir novel, full of fantastic details, but it was read beautifully by the narrator, and they even inserted musical tones when needed (no spoilers). Download and enjoy this like I did! 100% recommend!

Stunningly edited

Right from the outset, this story had me. Its exciting, adventurous, happy and on the odd occasion, sad. Highly recommend.

Fantastic...
