Project Hail Mary. Signed by Andy Weir. First Edition, First Printing. Ballantine. New York, 2021.

American novelist Andy Weir has published some of the most commercially successful science fiction of the twenty-first century. Prior to his literary success, he was a computer programmer who met repeated rejections from publishing houses, so he began to publish his work on his personal blog. One such work grew into a heavily researched, novel-length project: The Martian. Its incredible popularity catapulted Weir to the forefront of science fiction. Then in 2021, he published Project Hail Mary, another carefully researched novel about a daring mission to save the stars from interstellar, single-celled organisms. The work was a bestseller and met positive reviews. It was a finalist for the Hugo Award for Best Novel. In 2026, it was also adapted to film starring Ryan Gosling. It is Weir’s most popular and critically praised work to date.

This first edition, first printing is signed by Weir on the publisher’s tipped-in leaf. It is in about-fine condition. In the original quarter cloth, very good with only soiling to boards. Text block fine. In the original dust jacket, fine. With the publisher’s patch laid in.
