"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 crewmates dead, his memories fuzzily
returning, he realizes 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."--Goodread blurb
I've book looking forward to the release of this book for many months, and it did not disappoint. Weir's great talent for hilarious and heartfelt stories, plus a large dose of science-y stuff, it was one of my favorite reads of the year so far. If you love science and buddy comedies, this is a great read. I don't five-star books often, but this one got *****
