Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir

We’re excited to kick off our spring/summer meetings with “Project Hail Mary” by Andy Weir! Join us for a fun evening, even if you haven’t read the book or watched the movie (in theaters March 20th!)

We will be meeting at Arre Sinaloa, a fabulous Mexican restaurant in Union City and kindly ask that you update your rsvp to reflect if you will attend or not so we can plan for a great time! Hope to see many of you there!

From Goodreads:

A lone astronaut must save the earth from disaster in this incredible new science-based thriller from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Martian.

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, Ryland realizes that an impossible task now confronts him. Hurtling through space on this tiny ship, it's up to him to puzzle out an impossible scientific mystery—and conquer an extinction-level threat to our species.

And with the clock ticking down and the nearest human being light-years away, he's got to do it all alone.

Or does he?

An irresistible interstellar adventure as only Andy Weir could deliver, 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.
