Project Hail Mary

Fantastic! Another home run from Andy Weir, his best since The Martian. I don't want to get into spoilers, but this book combines the hard science fiction and humor of Weir's earlier bestselling triumph with a few more fantastical elements that may delight fans of Dennis E. Taylor or Peter Clines. If you're wondering why those two authors, apart from a particular plot element present in Project Hail Mary, the audiobook is narrated by Ray Porter, who is a G.O.A.T. level audiobook narrator. I found Project Hail Mary to be compelling, fascinating, and even emotionally moving. The protagonist was a realistic and flawed hero who seemed completely relatable. The plot, while a bit out there, seemed plausible enough to this non-scientist. I would highly recommend this book, and especially the audiobook version! 5 stars.
