About the Author

Andy Weir built a two-decade career as a software engineer until the success of his first published novel, The Martian, allowed him to live out his dream of writing full-time. He is a lifelong space nerd and a devoted hobbyist of such subjects as relativistic physics, orbital mechanics, and the history of manned spaceflight. He also mixes a mean cocktail. He lives in California.

Reviews

Brilliantly funny and enjoyable. One of the plausible science fiction books I've ever read
*Tim Peake*

Warm-hearted, surprising, unputdownable . . . The ultimate page turner
*Daily Mail*

If you like a lot of science in your science fiction, Andy Weir is the writer for you . . . This one has everything fans of old school SF (like me) love.
*George R.R. Martin*

Life-affirming [and] wonderfully well conceived
*The Times*

Weir's finest work to date . . . This is the one book I read last year that I am certain I can recommend to anyone, no matter who, and know they'll love it.
*Brandon Sanderson*

The most enjoyable hard SF I ave read in years: funny, well plotted and full of surprises.
*The Guardian*

One of the most original, compelling, and fun voyages I've ever taken. Weir imbues every page of this rollicking adventure with an unabashed love and respect for science, while giving us a prescient glimpse of where it could take us and how it might save us.
*Ernest Cline*

Andy Weir's brilliant Project Hail Mary...is one of those stirring sci-fi novels about every government on Earth banding together, through science, to save civilization from collapse. I loved it.
*The Times*

[Weir] has a gift for making astrophysics and the like not just painless but fascinating . . . hard to put down.
*Sunday Telegraph, novel of the week*

Charting the desperate last-chance mission of a lone astronaut to safeguard our planet, Project Hail Mary is a riveting interstellar adventure
*Waterstones*
