Project Hail Mary

Author: Andy Weir

Although I’m not a fan of science fiction this is the second book I’ve read by this author and I’ve loved them both. I noticed this morning that a movie based on the book is in production.

An unknown organism is starting to block out the sun’s rays and life on earth is doomed unless scientists can sort out what is causing the problem and find a way to fix it. Enter Ryland Grace, a science teacher, and a near-impossible plan to save earth. The plan was never to send Grace on this suicide mission but that is where he’s ended up.

Although I didn’t understand a lot of the scientific stuff and some of the story was unbelievable to put it mildly it was a fun read.
