![]() ![]() This read as a whole had me hooked from about the third page on, and I couldn’t stop talking about what was happening in the novel, whether it was to my coworkers or family members. Grace embodies all of the characteristics of your favorite high school science teacher. Project Hail Mary follows the story of Ryland Grace, whose uncanny ability to science his way out of any situation, regardless of the specialization required made it easy to draw parallels to The Martian‘s Watney, despite their relatively different personalities. Forgive me for being vague but I don’t want to spoil anything of this delightful space odyssey for you. That said, in his new story Weir takes us far, far beyond the borders of our own solar system in a whole new level of exploration. ![]() Due to Weir’s follow up novel, Artemis, being another adventure taking place beyond earth’s atmosphere, it shouldn’t be no surprise that his third novel is also set in space. I loved Weir’s story from beginning to end, especially the multitalented Mark Watney and his colorful vocabulary. Weir’s debut novel, The Martian was actually The Critiquing Chemist’s first book review ever and was one of my go to book recommendations for years. It seems like too much of a coincidence to not be on purpose. ![]() First off, I would be remiss not to ponder if the release date for for Weir’s Project Hail Mary was deliberately set for May 4th, the unofficial nerd holiday. ![]()
