Project Hail Mary
By Andy Weir
 
First edition, first impression: London: Del Rey, 2021. Signed by the author to the half-title page.

Octavo. Original black boards, spine lettered in silver. Signed by the author to the half-title. Original pictorial dust jacket, unclipped, priced £20.00, with a publisher's "signed copy" sticker to the front panel.

A near fine or better copy: the binding square and firm, with bright silver lettering to the spine; an area of very faint white marking to the boards, the contents otherwise remarkably clean, unread and fresh.

The dust jacket fine, crisp and vibrant, showing no signs of wear, rubbing, or tearing.

Weir's third novel, following "The Martian" and "Artemis", "Project Hail Mary" is a hard science fiction survival narrative centred on an amnesiac astronaut tasked with saving humanity from an interstellar ecological threat. The novel won the 2021 Goodreads Choice Award for Science Fiction and was a finalist for the 2022 Hugo Award for Best Novel; a 2026 film adaptation directed by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, starring Ryan Gosling, has drawn renewed attention to the author's backlist.
