Project Hail Mary - Andy Weir

We had a pretty good turnout for our first book of the month vote. To be honest I did not anticipate the problem of there being a tie. I took the liberty of flipping a coin which came out heads for Project Hail Mary. In the future I might have to come up with a better method of tie breaking. I’m figuring this out as I go and it is all just for the fun of it anyway so please don’t take this too seriously.

I intend to read this book over the month of September and then near the end of the month I will create a discussion thread for it where people can discuss it without worrying about spoilers. Follow along if you want to.

    Having read both, The Martian was very much a book I just simply put down (I lost so many hours of sleep because of it) whereas this one seemed decent.

    If you liked the Martian, you’ll like this one probably. There definitely was some weak moments, and the science portion, while crunchy sometimes, didn’t hold up consistently.

    Worth a read.
