Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir

How has it come to this? The fate of humanity rests on one man, who woke from a coma with no memory of his own name, much less the reason why he is hurtling through space on a mission he can't remember.
Originally a crew of three, Ryland Grace is the only surviving crew member of the Hail Mary research mission. He needs to discover how to kill a parasite called Astrophage that is feeding off the energy from the sun, slowly killing it and potentially threatening all life on earth.
This book has a lot of science and technology that Weir has a magical way of explaining that makes it fascinating to this average reader. I'm left staring up at the stars, my brain overloaded with sciency information, wondering if we're really alone in the universe. This was such a great book and I can't wait for his next one!
