Project Hail Mary

A man wakes up to find himself in a spaceship, light-years from Earth, with two dead bodies next to him. He can neither remember his name nor how and why he got into this spaceship or where it is flying to.

In several flashbacks, main character and reader alike gradually learn what happened.

And that's all I want to give away about the plot.

The novel contains numerous scientific-technical subtleties – for some readers, this might be going too far – for us programmers, it's just right :)

Be warned, though: the physical explanations are not always completely watertight. Sit back, enjoy the story, and don't try to get to the bottom of all the physical details.

All in all, it's an original, exciting, slightly humorous science fiction story that I recommend to every reader of this website.

Suitable as an audiobook? Yes, absolutely.
