Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir

 Absolutely bloody fabulous!

 

I have the audiobook and have listened to it many times.

 

I love the science, I love the characters, I love the problems that the characters have to face and the way these are tackled.

 

I'm not in the least surprised they're making a movie, and I'm going to see it as soon as it opens.

 

The plot is ingenious and unlike any other I've encountered.  Earth's sun is losing energy - which means everyone on Earth will die as the world gets colder and colder.  There is a limited time span in which to try and find out what is causing the problem and what, if anything can be done about it.

 

Everything goes in a single 'Hail Mary' project - the only thing that might, possibly might, find a solution.

 

If you haven't already read it, buy it.  (Unless you read and hated 'The Martian', but I don't know anyone who did...)

Yes!YES! Because I did read this great book and could not stop ! Not that I could understand every detail concerning the science but wow, there is really everything.
And I read The Martian and I loved it too. YAY!

Big smile!

I didn't care much for 'Artemis' his other book. I couldn't sympathise with the main character.
