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 . . . Weir has fashioned in Mark Watney one of the most appealing, funny, and resourceful characters in recent fiction.”—Chicago Tribune “As gripping as they come . . . You’ll be rooting for Watney the whole way, groaning at every setback and laughing at his pitchblack humor. Utterly nail-biting and memorable.”—Financial Times

Así que hacer un poco de contrabando de lo más inofensivo no cuenta, ¿verdad? Sobre todo cuando hay que pagar deudas y tu trabajo como transportista apenas paga el alquiler. De pronto,Jazz ve la oportunidad de cambiar su destino cometiendo un delito a cambio de una lucrativa recompensa. Y ahí empiezan todos sus problemas, pues al hacerlo se enreda en una auténtica conspiración por el control de Artemisa que le obliga a poner en peligro su propia vida... ENGLISH DESCRIPTION NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER * From the renowned author of Project Hail Mary and The Martian comes a "propulsive" (NPR) tale of science, suspense, and humor--a heist story set on the moon. "An action-packed techno-thriller of the first order."--USA Today Jasmine Bashara never signed up to be a hero. She just wanted to get rich. Not crazy, eccentric-billionaire rich, like many of the visitors to her hometown of Artemis, humanity''s first and only lunar colony. Just rich enough to move out of her coffin-sized apartment and eat something better than flavored algae. Rich enough to pay off a debt she''s owed for a long time. So when a chance at a huge score finally comes her way, Jazz can''t say no. But engineering the perfect crime is just the start of her problems--because her little heist is about to land her in the middle of a conspiracy for control of Artemis herself. Trapped between competing forces, pursued by a killer and the law alike, she''ll have to hatch a truly spectacular scheme to have a chance at staying alive and saving her city. Jazz is no hero, but she is a very good criminal.

An irresistible interstellar adventure as only Andy Weir could deliver, 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.

Quando Ryland Grace si risveglia, sa solo che il suo corpo è collegato a decine di tubi, che gli oggetti intorno a lui cadono troppo velocemente e che i suoi due compagni di viaggio giacciono inermi nello spazio angusto che condividono. Poi, lentamente, la memoria riaffiora: si trova a migliaia di chilometri dalla Terra, su una minuscola navicella lanciata a tutta velocità nelle profondità insondate dell''universo in una missione disperata per salvare il nostro pianeta. A bordo della Hail Mary, Grace è consapevole che ha pochissimo tempo a disposizione per neutralizzare il misterioso nemico e che il destino della specie dipende unicamente da lui. O forse non è solo? Dopo il grande successo di L''uomo di Marte, Andy Weir torna con una nuova odissea spaziale, ricca di suspense, humour e sorprese. Finalista al premio Hugo 2022, da questo libro è stato tratto un film con Ryan Gosling: una storia di sopravvivenza, speranza e solidarietà.

Traditional Chinese Edition of Project Hail Mary

Em coletânea inédita de contos de ficção científica, grandes nomes da literatura mostram até onde somos capazes de ir para mudar o mundo Para alguns, a tecnologia é o prenúncio do fim do mundo. Para outros, é apenas o começo de uma nova era. Renomado escritor de ficção científica, autor dos best-sellers Matéria escura e Recursão, Blake Crouch convidou grandes nomes da literatura contemporânea para traçar histórias audaciosas que mergulham nos desdobramentos que os avanços tecnológicos acarretam à humanidade. Em “Summer Frost”, Crouch traz uma trama marcante que desafia nossa noção de humanidade enquanto assistimos à obsessão de uma programadora de videogames por uma de suas personagens. “Pele de emergência”, de N. K. Jemisin, explora a missão de um soldado em visita a uma Terra abandonada. Uma viagem potencialmente sem volta, mas pelos motivos mais inesperados. Em “Arca”, Veronica Roth mostra o poder das lembranças, que, quando coletadas e reunidas, são capazes de revelar o passado e também ajudam a construir o futuro. Amor Towles surpreende em “Você chegou ao seu destino” ao mergulhar na manipulação genética quando um casal se vê diante da possibilidade de decidir a trajetória de seu futuro bebê. “A última conversa”, de Paul Tremblay, é uma narrativa repleta de suspense que nos faz questionar os limites da consciência e de nossa identidade. Já “Randomizando”, de Andy Weir, fecha a obra com uma história eletrizante envolvendo cassinos, hackers e computação quântica. De potência criativa memorável, os contos desta coletânea se pautam em temas diversos, como inteligência artificial, colonização de outros planetas, engenharia genética e programação, para nos fazer encarar o que há de mais brutal e profundamente humano em nós e em nossa sociedade. Imersos em tamanhos medos, paixões, sonhos e ambições, vem à tona a complexidade de se estabelecer limites e de realizar escolhas diante da busca pelo futuro que desejamos.

Neste novo thriller científico de Andy Weir, autor best-seller de Perdido em Marte, um astronauta precisa encontrar sozinho um jeito de salvar a Terra da destruição. Ryland Grace é o único sobrevivente de uma desesperada missão de emergência — se ele falhar, toda a humanidade e o planeta Terra serão destruídos. Mas no momento ele não sabe disso. Ryland não se lembra nem do próprio nome, muito menos de sua missão ou de como cumpri-la. Tudo o que ele sabe é que dormiu por muito, muito tempo. E que despertou a milhões de quilômetros de casa, com apenas dois cadáveres como companhia. Com os colegas de tripulação mortos e as memórias confusas retornando aos poucos, Ryland vai perceber a tarefa impossível que tem nas mãos. Viajando pelo espaço em sua pequena nave, cabe a ele descobrir a resposta para um enorme mistério científico — e derrotar a ameaça de extinção da nossa espécie. O tempo está acabando, e o humano mais próximo está a anos-luz de distância, então Ryland terá que fazer tudo isso sozinho. Ou será que não? "Dois mundos em perigo, um astronauta competente (mas humano e cheio de falhas), inúmeros mistérios científicos para resolver, e toda a humanidade em risco. Qualquer fã de ficção científica das antigas (como eu) vai amar." — George R.R. Martin, autor de A guerra dos tronos "Ler Devoradores de estrelas é como ir em uma excursão ao espaço sideral com o melhor professor de Ciências que existe — e a tarefa da sua turma é salvar o mundo. Uma das viagens mais originais, envolventes e divertidas que já fiz." — Ernest Cline, autor de Jogador no 1 "Sempre fico impressionado com a forma como Weir escreve ficção científica de um jeito maravilhosamente acessível, sem comprometer nem a ciência nem a ficção. Um livro que posso indicar para qualquer pessoa com a certeza de que ela vai adorar." — Brandon Sanderson, autor de Mistborn

The sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission to save both humanity and the earth, Ryland Grace is hurtled into the depths of space when he must conquer an extinction-level threat to our species.

Co se stane Alence, když se vrátí z Říše divů? Wendy ze Země Nezemě? A Dorotce ze země Oz? A co vznikne, když se spojí bestsellerový autor Marťana s autorkou úspěšných komiksů Sarah ́s Scribbles? Potkaly na Cheshire Crossing – na internátní škole, kde se holky jako ony učí, jak se vyrovnat se svými nadpřirozenými zkušenostmi a ovládnout magickou schopnost cestovat mezi světy. Ale tohle trio teenagerek má potíže s autoritami a rozhodně není ochotné jen tak potichu sedět ve třídě. To raději přeskakují ze světa do světa a zanechávají za sebou pořádný chaos. Třeba tím, že neúmyslně seznámí Zlou čarodějnici ze Západu s kapitánem Hookem, z čehož se vyklube smrtící duo zamilovaných superzloduchů. Aby je zastavily, musí zapojit veškeré své síly... a sestavit tým nepravděpodobných spojenců z nejrůznějších magických světů.

In a one-of-a-kind graphic novel collaboration between the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Martian and the beloved illustrator behind Sarah’s Scribbles, Alice, Wendy, and Dorothy team up to save the multiverse, from Wonderland to Neverland and Oz. 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. Advance praise for Cheshire Crossing “Deliciously funny . . . a shrewd and spirited adaptation that will leave audiences hoping for another installment . . . Andersen’s delightful cartoon drawing style meshes perfectly with Weir’s prose, allowing the work to broaden its appeal beyond middle graders to young adults and adults.”—Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

Enam hari yang lalu, astronaut Mark Watney menjadi salah satu orang pertama yang menjejakkan kaki di Mars. Sekarang dia yakin akan menjadi yang pertama mati di sana. Mark ditinggalkan di Mars oleh rekan-rekannya, yang mengira dia tewas ketika terjadi badai pasir. Sekarang dia sendirian, tak punya sarana untuk mengirim sinyal ke Bumi, dan persediaan makanannya sudah pasti akan habis lama sebelum tim penyelamat bisa datang. Tapi Mark belum mau menyerah. Berbekal keterampilan teknis dan kreativitasnya––plus rasa humor yang terbukti menjadi sumber kekuatan terbesarnya––dia memulai misi untuk bertahan hidup, menanam kentang untuk dimakan, dan bahkan menyusun rencana edan untuk menghubungi NASA di Bumi. Rintangan demi rintangan berhasil diatasinya, dan Mark mulai yakin dia bisa keluar dari Mars hidup-hidup––tetapi planet ini ternyata menyimpan banyak kejutan untuknya.
