Lost in space, above all drifting…

Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir

June 30, 2022 by Malin 2 Comments

Official book description: Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission – and if he fails, humanity and the earth itself will perish. Except that right now, he doesn’t know that. He can’t even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it. All he knows is that he’s been asleep for a very, very long time. And he’s just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses […]

The Fold was very good, but I had issues with some of the characters and how […]

I had never heard of Dennis E. Taylor prior to reading the first book in his Bobiverse series last year. I enjoyed that book immensely; so much so, in fact, that I think I oversold it in my review. Setting all that aside, though, the series was still a highlight of the year, and I’ll read any future novels he writes in the universe. So, seeing that he’s come out with a new book piqued my interest. I think it’s an Audible-only release, though. The […]
