UN ÚNICO ASTRONAUTA. UNA MISIÓN IMPOSIBLE. UN ALIADO QUE JAMÁS HABRÍA IMAGINADO. Ryland Grace es el único superviviente en una misión desesperada. Es la última oportunidad y, si fracasa, la humanidad y la Tierra misma perecerán. Claro que, de momento, él no lo sabe. Ni siquiera puede recordar su propio nombre, y mucho menos la naturaleza de su misión o cómo llevarla a cabo. Lo único que sabe es que ha estado en coma inducido durante mucho mucho tiempo. Acaba de despertar y se encuentra a millones de kilómetros de su hogar, sin más compañía que la de dos cadáveres. Muertos sus compañeros de tripulación, y a medida que va recuperando confusamente los recuerdos, Grace se da cuenta de que se enfrenta a una misión imposible. Recorriendo el espacio en una pequeña nave, depende de él acabar con una amenaza de extinción para nuestra especie. Sin apenas tiempo y con …

Recorriendo el espacio en una pequeña nave, depende de él acabar con una amenaza de extinción para nuestra especie. Sin apenas tiempo y con el ser humano más cercano a años luz de distancia, habrá de conseguirlo estando completamente solo. ¿O no? Proyecto Hail Mary, una aventura interestelar irresistible como solo Andy Weir podía imaginar, es una historia de descubrimiento, especulación y supervivencia a la altura de El marciano, que nos lleva a lugares que nunca soñamos alcanzar.

I've never learned so much science in my entire life. Thank the stars that Grace was a 5th grade teacher.
I'm not crying, you're crying.

"A fórmula de El Marciano repítese de xeito demasiado evidente. Resulta entretido, e con coñecementos de ensino secundario podes desfrutar lembrando aquelas asignaturas de física e química. Parecese que entendes algo."
"O libro é fácil de ler, podes ler aos poucos sen problema de perder o fío da historia xa que non ten dobleces no argumento, nin significados ou reflexións que requiran un nivel de concentración elevado."

This was OK - not bad, but I expected it to be better. Part of the premise is that a scientist discovers a threat that will cause a climate disaster and destroy civilization as we know it. After that discovery, world governments come together, spare no expense, and allow some pretty severe actions to solve the problem. In light of recent world history, that seems unlikely to me.

A very enjoyable book. Normally I prefer reading a book to listening to it, but in this case the audio definitely had an added dimension, with the tones sounded whilst Rocky was speaking. The only quarrel I would have is that all the foreign accents sound the same, and Stratt definitely doesn't have a Dutch accent (nor a Dutch surname, come to that).
The plot is well-developed, with a number of unexpected twists (given that you know that things are definitely going to go wrong). Having a scientific background did mean that I saw some things coming a while before I think the author intended, but that wasn't really a problem, given that it gave me a nice smug feeling! The flashbacks by way of partial recovery of memories worked well and wasn't too artificial.
The characters were well-developed. Most of the time, Grace is the only human around, and …

The flashbacks by way of partial recovery of memories worked well and wasn't too artificial.
The characters were well-developed. Most of the time, Grace is the only human around, and he turns out pleasantly complex. Rocky is sometimes a little too human, but I guess that can be forgiven.
The science is mostly clearly presented and credible. I did notice one slip. It is true that methane decomposes in the atmosphere, so after a few years it is no longer a super-strong greenhouse gas, but it decomposes to CO2 (and water), so methane emissions still have a long-term effect. He presents nicely the way that science works n practice; long repetitive actions which can be very boring. I was reminded of my work cutting ten thousand Sphagnum plants to length when he described making the chains.
I am already looking forward to the film.

Gave up. The amnesia/ suddenly remembering stuff as required really bugged me.

In taking a much larger scope than the Martian, repeating the same formula failed to entertain or engross me, instead the tricks and slick solutions to improbably back-tracked premises seemed to go a long way to nowhere.

This one is better than The Martian. The language is simple, but not offensive.
It's a very fun read.

Keeps-you-on-the-edge science fiction starring a sarcastic school teacher turned astronaut, and really detailed description of every scientific thing. After The Martian and Artemis, we expected nothing less than this from Andy Weir

As with The Martian, this book is over the top with the heroic solutions to unsolvable problems, but it was still fantastic.

Another enjoyable journey into Andy Weir's speculative science fiction. Perhaps even more implausible overall but still fun to consider details.
