Andy Weir é uma das grandes revelações da FC. Com "Perdido em Marte", grande e merecido sucesso, e "Artemis", repercussão menor mas ainda assim um bom livro, Weir se estabeleceu como autor renomado, especialmente após a adaptação de Perdido em Marte para o cinema, num filme de Ridley Scott. "Project Hail Mary" retoma o espírito de seu primeiro sucesso, com o protagonista (Ryland Grace) acordando em um ambiente sobre o qual ele não tem a mínima informação, não se lembrando nem do próprio nome. À medida que a memória retorna, ao longo de todo o livro, descobrimos os detalhes que o levaram até a nave em que está; algumas conclusões já haviam sido tiradas pelo próprio Grace, usando a Ciência (e depois fica explicado porque ele não se esqueceu dos conceitos enquanto não se lembrava do seu nome...). Não posso dar mais detalhes pois estragaria as sucessivas surpresas que o livro proporciona, mas mencionarei que o foco do livro será a biologia, ou melhor, a exobiologia, ao contrário da Física que permeou "Perdido em Marte". Há detalhes sobre Física, muito interessantes, mas não são o foco. Em suma, um livro que, principalmente a partir da chegada da nave ao seu destino, torna-se quase impossível de ser largado. Quanto às páginas finais, deixaram-me emocionado até as lágrimas, numa conclusão bela e épica sobre alguém que continua sendo um professor antes de tudo.

"Project Hail Mary" is a captivating blend of science fiction and human drama. The story is structured with a seamless flow between flashbacks and the present, which adds depth to the narrative and keeps the reader engaged. It helps unravel the mystery around the protagonist Ryland Grace's mission.I initially felt uncertain about how to relate to this non-human character when Rocky is introduced. I think I was hoping for a more human-like alien, perhaps even expecting a storyline where Grace might form a romantic attachment to a female alien character. This, in hindsight, was a naive and very predictable assumption. Rocky's distinct personality, culture, and appearance were initially challenging to relate to, but as the story progressed, I found myself growing deeply attached to both Grace and Rocky. Their relationship is the highlight of the book, showcasing a beautiful, unconventional bond based on mutual respect and understanding.The ending is both heartwarming and bittersweet. Without delving into spoilers, it left me reflecting on the themes of sacrifice, friendship, and the lengths some individuals will go to for the greater good of society. The story beautifully illustrates how some people dedicate their entire lives to science and the betterment of others, a message that resonates profoundly in today's world.Overall, it was a thought-provoking and emotionally resonant read that I highly recommend.

Andy Weir has done it again: top-notch sci-fi. It's all there: exploration, science the shit out of problems, meeting the unknown, travel far, be a hero. I basically ate the book.
