Project Hail Mary by Andy WeirMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
So Astrophage, an alien organism, is consuming the sun and stars in our solar system. Earth's sun is dying. It is found out that there is a distant system that appears to be unaffected. A mission; Project Hail Mary, is planned and launched to investigate. Is there a way to save the sun (and Earth)?
Enter Ryland Grace, a teacher, and sole survivor to figure out what is going on. A problem, the sleep state he was in gave him some amnesia and it takes time for him to remember. Multiple people went to great lengths to get Project Hail Mary off the ground (solar farm in the Sahara). And after it was launched too (nuclear weapons to warm the planet to blow up Antarctica).
Ryland meets Rocky, an Eridian whose planet is also dying. He crew mates are also deceased and he is on his own. They team up and overcoming a language and environmental barrier. Their friendship really adds to the story. And yes, they find Taumoeba. This is a game changer.
