Project Hail Mary is a 2021 hard science fiction novel by American writer Andy Weir. It centers on schoolteacher and former biologist Ryland Grace, who wakes up aboard a spacecraft afflicted with amnesia.
The main story takes place on the Hail Mary spacecraft and is intercut with flashbacks. This summary is in chronological order.
In the near future, scientists observe the Sun dimming, coinciding with the formation of a dim infrared line from the Sun to Venus, dubbed the Petrova line. As the dimming will cause a catastrophic ice age within 30 years, the world’s governments appoint former European Space Agency administrator Eva Stratt to lead a task force to solve the problem. A space probe sent to investigate Venus discovers that alien microbes were generating the light.
Stratt appoints Ryland Grace, a junior high school teacher and infamous former molecular biologist, to study a sample from the Petrova line. He discovers that it is made up of single-celled organisms that consume electromagnetic radiation, naming it “Astrophage.” After his discovery, Stratt sends him back to his job, but he insists on coming back to continue his research on Astrophage after considering his students’ futures. He determines that Astrophage breeds by absorbing energy from the Sun and carbon dioxide from Venus.
Astrophage has also infected and dimmed nearby stars; one star, Tau Ceti, has resisted the infection. Other scientists design an engine that uses astrophage as rocket fuel. An Astrophage-fueled starship, the Hail Mary, is created to travel to Tau Ceti to investigate its Astrophage resistance. There is only enough time to breed enough Astrophage for a one-way trip, so the mission will return its findings to Earth using unmanned mini-ships called “beetles.” Grace trains the science experts for the mission, but they are killed in an accident shortly before launch. With no time to train a comparably skilled replacement, Stratt forces an unwilling Grace to join the suicide mission. Grace threatens sabotage, so a sedative is administered to her before launch, along with a temporary amnesia-inducing drug.
Years later, Ryland Grace emerges from his coma aboard the Hail Mary with no memory of his identity or situation. Grace finds that his crew members have died en route and gives them a space burial. Hail Mary reaches Tau Ceti and is approached by an alien starship, which Grace names “Blip-A.” The other ship indicates, via a star map sculpture, that it came from 40 Eridani. The ships dock, and Grace develops a system to communicate with the eyeless, spider-like, five-legged alien, whom he names “Rocky.” Rocky, a skilled engineer, has been in the Tau Ceti system for 46 Earth years and is the last survivor of their crew, with the rest having died of radiation sickness. As Eridani is also under threat from Astrophage, Grace and Rocky agree to cooperate.

Plot
Set in the 19th century, the plot follows the adventures of two orphaned Irish siblings (Tom and Mary) who emigrate to the United States to reunite with their uncle Niall in New York City.[2][3][4] When Niall doesn’t show up at the docks, Tom and Mary set out to find him with the company of a stray dog, Sparky, sneaking on board a train with a group of orphans when they cannot afford a ticket. During the journey, Mary befriends non-verbal paraplegic boy Nick, who is rejected from his initial possible family due to his disability. The orphans’ supervisor, Eleanor, learns of their circumstances and assures them she won’t give them away to the train staff.
When the train stops to refuel, Mary takes Nick off the train to touch the nearby buffalo, but the train departs without them on board as everyone else in the carriage was asleep. Tom is able to get a nearby cart in working order and travel after the train, but they find it deserted after an apparent Indian attack. The children have a close call with a pack of coyotes that leaves Tom with an injured leg, and when they stop to collect water, they are captured by an Indian tribe. However, the tribe proves to be friendly and affirms that they had nothing to do with the train attack.
Tom, Mary, and Nick are eventually led to another group of white men, but these men turn out to be the bandits responsible for attacking the train, having taken the passengers as slave labor to work in a mine. When the children are reunited with the orphans and Eleanor, one of the other prisoners is revealed to be Tom and Mary’s uncle Niall, who was captured from another train.
Tom, Mary, and Nick manage to escape the mine and contact a nearby fortress for help and the Indian tribe. The two groups work together to stage an assault and rescue the prisoners before the bandits can destroy the now-depleted mine to cover up their actions. Niall, Tom, and Mary agree to remain a family, and Eleanor not only joins them but also invites Nick to come along.
