Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission--and if he fails, humanity and the earth itself will perish.
Except that right now, he doesn't know that. He can't even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it.
All he knows is that he's been asleep for a very, very long time. And he's just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company.
His crewmates dead, his memories fuzzily returning, he realizes that an impossible task now confronts him. Alone on this tiny ship that's been cobbled together by every government and space agency on the planet and hurled into the depths of space, it's up to him to conquer an extinction-level threat to our species.

Part scientific mystery, part dazzling interstellar journey, Project Hail Mary is a tale of discovery, speculation, and survival to rival The Martian--while taking us to places it never dreamed of going.
Fantastic! Better that Artemis, not quite The Martian, but still carved out its own heart and style. Loved the read and couldn’t put it down. Good on you, Weir!
I think this will be the book I recommend the most this year. It is entertaining from beginning to end. If you like sci-fi or space stories, read it. If you don't, read it anyway because you will laugh. It is very rare that I tear through a book in the span of a day, but, and I apologise for the cliché, I could not put this book down.

Extremely well written, well paced and exciting. Felt very similar to the Martian. If you liked that and disliked Artemis, you'll love this.
I did like Artemis though, and this like the Martian still felt like a basically big empty universe with very few people in it, whereas Artemis felt cool and alive.

I wasn’t a big fan of Artemis, but this one I loved. Just an all around intriguing idea and direction, and the time hop story telling was very well done in a way that you experienced it. Highly recommend
