Mort stops and picks up a woman in a deserted part of the highway.  She's young.  She had a ride but the old man wanted more than money for payment.  She got her gun out and exited his vehicle.

Mort doesn't realize what he's getting into when he takes her with him.  She's got people after her but she doesn't know that either.

The people after her are not pleasant.  They've already killed two teens.  Seems like there are a lot of dead bodies that Mort finds...

There is plenty of action, lots of death, and it's hard for him to protect her and not get hurt himself.  His wife ends up joining them.  Now he has two to worry about.  But his wife gets them out of bad situation so she's not exactly helpless.

It's a fairly complex story with some choices that aren't all that pleasant.  It's interesting and you can't tell who is going to win until the very end.  It was a good read.

Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir

The sun is disappearing.  Can a suicidal mission save it?

Ballantine and Net Galley let me read this book for review (thank you).  It will be published May 4th.

This story is a bit dry in the beginning and has all kinds of technical information about what's happening to the sun and what they will need to do to save it.

They lose two of the astronauts before they even leave earth.  Their lab blew up.  So the lady in charge assigns the  teacher to go in their place.  It's because he has a tolerance for the drug they will use to make the journey more passable.  The reason he got involved was a science paper he wrote and published.

He doesn't want to go but she gives him no choice.  When he awakens he finds the other two astronauts have died.  So he's on a spaceship all by himself.  He has to learn how to run it.

The part I liked best is when he sees another ship that's not earthly made.  Then he gets approached by an alien.  They study each other's language and begin to work together to save the sun for their worlds.

This was an interesting read.  The alien is very different from the human.  They have "bugs" they must stop.  Soon they find other "bugs" who eat the first set.  But that's not all they eat...

Will they be able to save the sun?
