#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE A mission to Mars. A freak accident. One man's struggle to survive. From the author of Project Hail Mary comes "a hugely entertaining novel that reads like a rocket ship afire" (Chicago Tribune). "Brilliant . . . a celebration of human ingenuity and] the purest example of real-science sci-fi for many years . . . utterly compelling."--The Wall Street Journal Six days ago, astronaut Mark Watney became one of the first people to walk on Mars. Now, he's sure he'll be the first person to die there. After a dust storm nearly kills him and forces his crew to evacuate while thinking him dead, Mark finds himself stranded and completely alone with no way to even signal Earth that he's alive--and even if he could get word out, his supplies would be gone long before a rescue could arrive. Chances are, though, he won't have time to starve to death. The damaged machinery, unforgiving environment, or plain-old "human error" are much more likely to kill him first. But Mark isn't ready to give up yet. Drawing on his ingenuity, his engineering skills--and a relentless, dogged refusal to quit--he steadfastly confronts one seemingly insurmountable obstacle after the next. Will his resourcefulness be enough to overcome the impossible odds against him? NAMED ONE OF PASTE'S BEST NOVELS OF THE DECADE"A hugely entertaining novel that] reads like a rocket ship afire . . .

A lone astronaut must save the earth from disaster in this incredible new science-based thriller from the Sunday Times bestselling author of The Martian. 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 crew mates dead, his memories fuzzily returning, he realises 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. Part scientific mystery, part dazzling interstellar journey, Project Hail Mary is a tale of discovery, speculation, and survival to rival The Martian - while taking us to places it never dreamed of going.

BARA HAN KAN RÄDDA VÄRLDEN Ryland är ensam överlevande på det sista desperata uppdraget att försöka rädda jorden, om han misslyckas innebär det slutet för mänskligheten. Men det vet inte Ryland, för han vet ingenting. Inte ens vem han själv är. Miljontals mil hemifrån, med endast två döda astronauter som medpassagerare, inser Ryland att han måste rädda sig själv, för att kunna rädda världen. Men först måste han ta reda på vem, eller kanske snarare vad, det är som plötsligt gör honom sällskap UPPDRAG HAIL MARY handlar, liksom The Martian, om en övergiven rymdhjälte och den vetenskapliga humorns uppfinningsrikedom. Det är en sylvass, smart och dystopisk rymdskildring som bjuder på underhållande problemlösning och häpnadsväckande förveckningar som tar oss långt bortom vår vildaste fantasi. Barack Obama har tipsat om boken tillika Bill Gates, som sagt: Även om du inte är ett stort sci-fi-fan är Uppdrag Hail Mary verkligen underhållande. ANDY WEIR är rymndnörden som fick sitt första programmerjobb vid femton års ålder. Han släppte sin debutroman, The Martian, ungefär samtidigt som vatten upptäcktes på mars och boken gick raka vägen upp till en förstaplacering på New York Times. Efter att ha sålt mer än 3 miljoner böcker runt om världen, varav närmare 50 000 exemplar bara i Sverige, har förväntningarna på Uppdrag Hail Mary varit höga, och infriats. Hans nya berättelse om en ensam hjälte som tvingas förlita sig på sin egen intelligens för att överleva har hyllats av både kritikerkår och läsare världen över. Din inre rymdnörd kommer att vara fnittrigt glad från första till sista sidan. AmeliaEn perfekt blandning av sci-fi och fantasy. SmålandspostenDet som gjort mig mest intresserad av fysik sedan skolan är när jag denna sommar var fast i boken Uppdrag Hail Mary. Dagens Industri, Jan GradvallFör alla som är nyfikna på vetenskap är detta storslagna rymdepos ett måste. Tidningen ÅngermanlandDet är kittlande när hela jordens överlevnad står på spel, och vi befinner oss långt längre bort än på en välbekant grannplanet. Weirs kärlek till naturvetenskapen är påtaglig och bidrar även här med en detaljrikedom som ger berättelsen trovärdighet. Bibliotekstjänst

Originating as fan fiction from the brilliant imagination of Andy Weir, now brought to vivid life by Sarah Andersen, Cheshire Crossing is a funny, breakneck, boundlessly inventive journey through classic worlds as you've never seen them Before. Years after their respective returns from Wonderland, Neverland, and Oz, the trio meet here, at Cheshire Crossing-a boarding school where girls like them learn how to cope with their supernatural experiences and harness their magical world-crossing Powers. But Alice, Wendy, and Dorothy-now teenagers, who've had their fill of meddling authority figures-aren't content to sit still in a classroom. Soon they're dashing from one universe to the next, leaving havoc in their wake-and, inadvertently, bringing the Wicked Witch and Hook together in a deadly supervillain love match. To stop them, the girls will have to draw on all of their powers . . . and marshal a team of unlikely allies from across the magical multiverse.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION A mission to Mars. A freak accident. One man's struggle to survive. Six days ago, astronaut Mark Watney became one of the first people to walk on Mars. Now, he's sure he'll be the first person to die there. After a dust storm nearly kills him and forces his crew to evacuate the planet while thinking him dead, Mark finds himself stranded on Mars' surface, completely alone, with no way to even signal Earth that he's alive. And even if he could get word out, his supplies would be gone years before a rescue could arrive. Chances are, though, Mark won't have time to starve to death. The damaged machinery, unforgiving environment, or plain-old "human error" are much more likely to kill him first. But Mark's not ready to quit. Armed with nothing but his ingenuity, his engineering skills--and a gallows sense of humor that proves to be his greatest source of strength--he embarks on a dogged quest to stay alive. As he confronts one seemingly insurmountable obstacle after the next, Mark begins to let himself believe he might make it off the planet alive. But Mars has plenty of surprises in store for him yet.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION The bestselling author of The Martian returns with an irresistible new near-future thriller--a heist story set on the moon. Jazz Bashara is a criminal. Well, sort of. Life on Artemis, the first and only city on the moon, is tough if you're not a rich tourist or an eccentric billionaire. So smuggling in the occasional harmless bit of contraband barely counts, right? Not when you've got debts to pay and your job as a porter barely covers the rent. Everything changes when Jazz sees the chance to commit the perfect crime, with a reward too lucrative to turn down. But pulling off the impossible is just the start of her problems, as she learns that she's stepped square into a conspiracy for control of Artemis itself--and that now, her only chance at survival lies in a gambit even riskier than the first.
