A lone astronaut must save the earth from disaster in this incredible new science-based thriller from the Sunday Times bestselling author of The Martian. 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 for company. His crew mates dead, his memories fuzzily returning, he realises that an impossible task now confronts him. Alone on this tiny ship that's been cobbled together by every government and space agency on the planet and hurled into the depths of space, it's up to him to conquer an extinction-level threat to our species. And thanks to an unexpected ally, he just might have a chance. Part scientific mystery, part dazzling interstellar journey, Project Hail Mary is a tale of discovery, speculation, and survival to rival The Martian - while taking us to places it never dreamed of going.

"L'inspecteur Harry Bosh travaillait, il y a quatre ans de cela, au sein d'une brigade spéciale enquêtant sur les meurtres du "Dollmaker", tueur en série dont les victimes, invariablement, portaient sur le visage un maquillage funèbre. L'enquête s'était achevée avec la mort du principal suspect, Norman Church. Quatre ans après les faits, Money Chandler, redoutable avocate de L.A., accuse Bosch d'avoir tué un innocent. Et malgré le soutien que lui apportent ses supérieurs, l'inspecteur ne tarde pas à douter de la légitimité de son geste...Tandis que les audiences, de plus en plus tendues, se succèdent, l'inspecteur reprend l'enquête à son point de départ."
