Project Hail Mary by Andy WeirMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Hooter: A sole astronaut light years away from Earth figuring out how to save humanity
In a wonderful mix of humor, science, wit and physics and inter stellar friendships, this makes for a great read as Grace Ryland wakes up from an induced coma in the middle of space all alone on a spaceship hurtling towards nowhere as he pieces back from selective amnesia his purpose and way forward. After figuring the past and present, his interactions with an alien as they learn to find a common tongue and work towards a common goal around astrophage and how it is killing their respective suns - the whole natural flow of discovery and the scientific mindset being applied to problem solving makes this for an interesting read with the right amount of science, biology and history in the mix along with ample science fiction. Along the lines of his other book the Martian, Project Heil Mary is a colorful read as it races between the dimensions of the past, present and forseeable future.
