In an Andy Weir novel, space is both the coolest and most frightening landscape ever, and with “ Project Hail Mary,” the modern sci-fi master sends a lone astronaut on an intergalactic mission with existential stakes and a winning sense of humor.Ī cosmic cross between “Memento,” “Arrival” and “The Right Stuff,” the newest book (Ballantine, 482 pp., ★★★1/2 out of four) from “The Martian” author centers on the sole survivor of a spaceship sent to save humanity and puts him through his paces in a complex, science-filled story that’s also about empathy and friendship found in the most unlikely of places.
