It's rare to find a book that feels equal parts high-stake sci-fi adventure and grounded scientific speculation. I was curious to see if Project Hail Mary would follow in the footsteps of Weir's densely scientific yet delightfully comedic novel The Martian, or if he would continue to explore the more flashy side of sci-fi he explored in Artemis. In my opinion, he really did capture the best of both worlds in Project Hail Mary.
It's fast paced and meticulous. It's fantastically imaginative and rationalised to the point of plausibility. Its engaging protagonist shares a lot of common traits with the loveable Mark Watney while still setting himself apart from the crowd. There's enough quick wit and open questions to keep you glued to the page, and a mystery with enough twists and turns to keep you guessing till the end.
Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed this novel. Absolute must-read for any fans of The Martian out there.
