5 out of 5 stars Goodreads.com: Project Hail Mary, by Andy Weir I loved this book. As we meet Project Hail Mary's protagonist, he doesn't know who, or where, he is. So basically anything about the book is a spoiler. SPOILERS AHEAD - setup only, not about the story's resolution. It turns out our hero … Continue reading Review: Project Hail Mary
