At a Member’s home the third Tuesday of the Month
In April, we will be discussing ‘Project Hail Mary’ – a gripping novel about survival, ingenuity, and unexpected friendship, centered on a lone astronaut tasked with saving humanity. Written by Andy Weir, author of The Martian, this 2021 novel follows Ryland Grace, a former science teacher, who wakes up aboard a spaceship with no memory of who he is or why he’s there. As his memories return, he realizes he’s the last hope for Earth, sent on a desperate interstellar mission to stop a mysterious cosmic threat. The story blends hard science fiction with humour and emotional depth. It features detailed problem-solving, alien contact and a surprising alliance that challenges what it means to be human. It promises to be an interesting read.
