After the success of 2015’s
The Martian (directed by Ridley Scott no less) it’s little wonder that the world is hyped to read the next novel from
The Martian’s author, Andy Weir. Luckily, the wait is now over and Weir’s latest novel
, Project Hail Mary is out this month (and already optioned for a movie adaptation!).
The novel follows Ryland Grace, 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.
