Ryland Grace is the lone survivor of a desperate mission that will decide the fate of Earth. If he fails, humanity dies.
The problem? He doesn’t know that yet. He doesn’t even remember his own name.
All he knows is that he’s been asleep for a very long time, and when he wakes, he’s light-years from home—with only two corpses as company.
As fragments of memory return, Ryland realizes he faces an impossible task: unravel a scientific mystery and stop an extinction-level threat. Alone. Hurtling through space. With the clock ticking down.
Or maybe… not entirely alone.
A dazzling tale of survival, ingenuity, and discovery, Project Hail Mary delivers everything readers loved about The Martian—and takes it to extraordinary new heights.
