Our take on Project Hail Mary

Adapted from Andy Weir's bestseller, this science-fiction adventure wakes a lone amnesiac aboard a spaceship light-years from home, the last hope on a desperate mission to save humanity. Built on hard-science problem-solving and against-the-odds ingenuity, it promises the white-knuckle survival spirit of The Martian on a cosmic scale. If that brand of brainy, high-stakes space adventure appeals to you, seek out smart survival sci-fi where knowledge is the only lifeline.
