A lone astronaut.
An impossible mission.
An ally he never imagined.
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 imagine it, 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.

Audible narration by Janina Gavankar (True Blood)
In the near future, if Vegas games are ingeniously scam-proof, then the heists have to be too, in this imaginative and whip-smart story by the New York Times bestselling author of The Martian.
An IT whiz at the Babylon Casino is enlisted to upgrade security for the game of keno and its random-number generator. The new quantum computer system is foolproof. But someone on the inside is no fool. For once the odds may not favor the house—unless human ingenuity isn’t entirely a thing of the past.
Andy Weir’s Randomize is part of Forward, a collection of six stories of the near and far future from out-of-this-world authors. Each piece can be read or listened to in a single thought-provoking sitting.

I'm stranded on Mars.
I have no way to communicate with Earth.
I'm in a habitat designed to last 31 days.
If the oxygenator breaks down, I'll suffocate. If the water reclaimer breaks down, I'll die of thirst. If the hab breaches, I'll just kind of explode. If none of those things happen, I'll eventually run out of food and starve to death.
So yeah. I'm screwed.

Q&A with Andy Weir
Six days ago, astronaut Mark Watney became one of the first people to walk on Mars.
Now, he's sure he'll be the first person to die there.
After a dust storm nearly kills him and forces his crew to evacuate while thinking him dead, Mark finds himself stranded and completely alone with no way to even signal Earth that he’s alive – and even if he could get word out, his supplies would be gone long before a rescue could arrive.
Chances are, though, he won't have time to starve to death. Damaged machinery, the unforgiving environment, or plain old "human error" are much more likely to kill him first.
But Mark isn't ready to give up yet. Drawing on his ingenuity, his engineering skills and a relentless, dogged refusal to quit, he steadfastly confronts one seemingly insurmountable obstacle after the next. Will his resourcefulness be enough to overcome the impossible odds against him?
La nueva novela del autor de El marciano, que se convertirá en una película protagonizada y producida por Ryan Gosling.
UN ÚNICO ASTRONAUTA.
UNA MISIÓN IMPOSIBLE.
UN ALIADO QUE JAMÁS HABRÍA IMAGINADO.
Ryland Grace es el único superviviente en una misión desesperada. Es la última oportunidad y, si fracasa, la humanidad y la Tierra misma perecerán.
Claro que, de momento, él no lo sabe. Ni siquiera puede recordar su propio nombre, y mucho menos la naturaleza de su misión o cómo llevarla a cabo.
Lo único que sabe es que ha estado en coma inducido durante mucho mucho tiempo. Acaba de despertar y se encuentra a millones de kilómetros de su hogar, sin más compañía que la de dos cadáveres.
Muertos sus compañeros de tripulación, y a medida que va recuperando confusamente los recuerdos, Grace se da cuenta de que se enfrenta a una misión imposible. Recorriendo el espacio en una pequeña nave, depende de él acabar con una amenaza de extinción para nuestra especie.
Sin apenas tiempo y con el ser humano más cercano a años luz de distancia, habrá de conseguirlo estando completamente solo.
¿O no?
Proyecto Hail Mary, una aventura interestelar irresistible como solo Andy Weir podía imaginar, es una historia de descubrimiento, especulación y supervivencia a la altura de El marciano, que nos lleva a lugares que nunca soñamos alcanzar.
Reseñas:
«Me encantó El marciano, pero Proyecto Hail Mary me parece la mejor obra de Andy Weir hasta la fecha. Éste es el único libro que leí el año pasado que puedo recomendar sin dudarlo a cualquiera, sea quien sea, porque sé que le encantará.»
Brandon Sanderson
«Una novela que habría deleitado a Robert A. Heinlein e Isaac Asimov [...]. Dos mundos en peligro, un hombre competente (pero humano y con defectos), e interminables enigmas por resolver con la humanidad en peligro. El libro tiene todo lo que les gusta a los aficionados de la ciencia ficción clásica (como yo).»
George R. R. Martin
«Leer Proyecto Hail Mary es como ir de excursión al espacio con el mejor profesor de ciencias que hayas tenido, y tu trabajo de clase es salvar al mundo. Es uno de los viajes más originales, emocionantes y divertidos que he hecho.»
Ernest Cline
«Brillante, divertido y disfrutable [...]. Uno de los libros de ciencia ficción más verosímiles que he leído nunca.»
Tim Peake, astronauta de la Agencia Espacial Europea
Originating as fan fiction from the brilliant imagination of Andy Weir, now brought to vivid life by Sarah Andersen, Cheshire Crossing is a funny, breakneck, boundlessly inventive journey through classic worlds as you’ve never seen them before.
Years after their respective returns from Wonderland, Neverland, and Oz, the trio meet here, at Cheshire Crossing—a boarding school where girls like them learn how to cope with their supernatural experiences and harness their magical world-crossing powers.
But Alice, Wendy, and Dorothy—now teenagers, who’ve had their fill of meddling authority figures—aren’t content to sit still in a classroom. Soon they’re dashing from one universe to the next, leaving havoc in their wake—and, inadvertently, bringing the Wicked Witch and Hook together in a deadly supervillain love match.
To stop them, the girls will have to draw on all of their powers . . . and marshal a team of unlikely allies from across the magical multiverse.
Advance praise for Cheshire Crossing
“Deliciously funny . . . a shrewd and spirited adaptation that will leave audiences hoping for another installment . . . Andersen’s delightful cartoon drawing style meshes perfectly with Weir’s prose, allowing the work to broaden its appeal beyond middle graders to young adults and adults.”—Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
ANDY WEIR, AUTOR DO BEST-SELLER PERDIDO EM MARTE, RETORNA COM UM THRILLER IRRESISTÍVEL - UMA HISTÓRIA DE ASSALTO NA LUA!
Artemis foi vencedor do Goodreads Choice Awards 2017 de Ficção Científica.
“Um suspense tecnológico de primeira, cheio de ação. Um transporte perfeito para os humanos que desejam escapar da gravidade da Terra, nem que seja por um momento. As páginas voam.” – USA Today
“Weir conseguiu fazer o impossível: superou Perdido em Marte com um thriller noir que se passa na lua. O que mais você pode querer da vida? Vá ler agora mesmo!” – Blake Crouch, autor de Matéria escura
Jazz Bashara nunca desejou ser uma heroína. na verdade, ela é uma criminosa, uma pequena contrabandista.
A vida em Artemis, a primeira e única cidade na lua, é difícil se você não for um turista ou um empresário rico, ainda mais se está com dívidas e seu trabalho mal cobre o aluguel.
Por isso, quando surge a oportunidade de ganhar uma enorme quantia cometendo o crime perfeito, Jazz não consegue recusar. A questão é que esse delito é apenas o começo de seus problemas, pois a fará cair no meio de uma conspiração pelo controle de artemis.
Impulsionada pela narrativa sarcástica da protagonista, ambientada em uma cidade imaginária, mas extremamente familiar, Artemis é outra mistura irresistível de ciência, suspense e humor de Andy Weir, o autor de Perdido em Marte.
Artemisa es la esperada nueva novela del autor de El marciano, el libro que ha abierto la ciencia ficción al gran público, convirtiéndose en un fenómeno editorial en 40 países con más de 3.000.000 de ejemplares vendidos, y una película de gran presupuesto: Marte de Ridey Scott, con Matt Damon como protagonista.
Jazz Bashara es una criminal... O al menos lo parece. La vida en Artemisa, la primera y única ciudad de la Luna, es difícil si no eres un turista adinerado o un multimillonario excéntrico. Así que hacer un poco de contrabando de lo más inofensivo no cuenta, ¿verdad? Sobre todo cuando hay que pagar deudas y tu trabajo como transportista apenas paga el alquiler.
De pronto, Jazz ve la oportunidad de cambiar su destino cometiendo un delito a cambio de una lucrativa recompensa. Y ahí empiezan todos sus problemas, pues al hacerlo se enreda en una auténtica conspiración por el control de Artemisa que le obliga a poner en peligro su propia vida...
