Packed with gripping suspense, fascinating real-world science, humor, and heart, this award-nominated novel has captivated millions of readers and is now a major motion picture starring Ryan Gosling.

Project Hail Mary is a standalone novel and is not part of a series.

Ryland Grace awakens alone aboard a spacecraft with no memory of who he is—or why he's there.

His only companions are two dead crewmates, and the ship is millions of miles from Earth.

As his memories slowly return, Ryland discovers he has been sent on humanity's final mission to stop an extinction-level catastrophe threatening all life on Earth. With limited resources, impossible scientific challenges, and time running out, he must rely on intelligence, creativity, and determination to solve a mystery unlike anything humanity has ever encountered.

But as Ryland ventures farther into the unknown, he realizes he may not be as alone as he first believed.

Filled with unforgettable characters, clever problem-solving, emotional depth, and scientifically grounded adventure, Project Hail Mary is an exhilarating story of survival, friendship, and hope that will stay with readers long after the final page.
