Weir’s next effort, “Artemis” (2017), exposed his limited interest in constructing relationships or a plausible future society. Its stranded astronaut, Mark Watney, survived on Mars using ingenuity, duct tape and plenty of wisecracks, but the writing fell apart in the scenes in which people actually had to have a conversation. In real life, of course, not every conflict is a case study in engineering, but many readers still enjoy spending time with the character once widely - and chauvinistically - described as “the competent man.”Īndy Weir’s debut novel, “The Martian” (2011), found an enormous audience largely because it was a competent-man story that might have captivated fans in the 1930s. Like his counterparts in adventure and western pulps, he was generally white, male and good with his hands, but he was defined by his ability to solve problems with science and technology. 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.In the years before World War II, a new kind of hero appeared in American science fiction. And thanks to an unexpected ally, he just might have a chance. 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. His crewmates dead, his memories fuzzily returning, he realizes that an impossible task now confronts him. And he’s just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company. All he knows is that he’s been asleep for a very, very long time.

He can’t even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it. Except that right now, he doesn’t know that. Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission-and if he fails, humanity and the Earth itself will perish.
