Project Hail Mary
Ryland Grace wakes up on a spaceship with two dead crewmates, a computer that will not tell him his name, and a hole where his memory should be. Piece by piece he remembers: he is a middle-school science teacher with a molecular-biology past, the Sun is being eaten by a microbe called Astrophage, and Earth has sent him on a one-way trip to Tau Ceti to find out why that star is not dying too. Then another ship appears. Funny, nerdy, and unexpectedly tender about friendship, it is a book-club novel about saving two worlds with science — and about the person on the other side of the glass.
“I am scary space monster. You are leaky space blob.”
