Project Hail Mary!

What a book! I started it, and put it away immediately to save for my road-trip. Got the audiobook to help whittle down the miles.

It was riveting! The 1st 10 minutes was questionable, but after that. Full throttle!

Written by the person that did THE MARTIAN.

it’s a great read. Highly recommended. Good Good Good! <- this makes sense if you read the book

I agree- it was a great read.
It is also a great audio book.
My wife is sick and tired of hearing about astrophage.

I just finished reading the free kindle sample. I was hooked, so I'll be buying the whole thing now.

On a related note, one of our Pelicanites (ckissick) has written some Sci-fi (very different from the stuff that Andy Weir has written). I bought it 3 years ago, and can't find it, but want to read it again, so I'm about to buy another copy.

She apparently sold "flirty" photos on the Internet and used the proceeds ($500k) to help the folks impacted by the LA fires.

Think OnlyFans without the nudes ... she sells her photos through Only Philanthropy, and the images are more Maxim Magazine than OF. Still, it's been a huge moneymaker.
