Project Hail Mary

If you loved The Martian, Project Hail Mary will not disappoint. Devoured it in just over a day. Same ebb and flow of life-threatening problems being scienced the shit out of.

I did have a few annoyances: 1) I had to suppress my frustration with the abundance of unexamined misogyny in the author. (Does the woman who has CERN bending to her will really need you to explain cosmic rays to her???) 2) I could have done without soooo much mental math being explained to me. 3) all the engineering was just deux ex machina-ed by one particular compound, but the engineer is such a delight that this is minor quibbling. No question at all who the real hero is. ;) 4) Last grumble – I thought the gravity on Erid was 29g....

All that said, it is an awesome, happy, hopeful read.
