Price-check: Project Hail Mary
Checked 2026-11-15Our verdict: The 2022 Audie Award winner for Audiobook of the Year, in Ray Porter's solo narration (16 hrs 10 mins). Free in Libby/OverDrive library catalogues with a participating library card — expect a holds queue; on Audible it's the usual 1 credit / check price. The 2026 film has this 2021 recording in demand again. Chirp doesn't carry it (checked on Chirp's own site); Kobo has no price we could verify, and the Libro.fm and Spotify rows stay Pending — nothing guessed.

Listening note
Andy Weir's lone-astronaut survival story won the 2022 Audie Award for Audiobook of the Year (and for Science Fiction). Ray Porter narrates solo, and the production renders Rocky's musical-chord dialogue with melodic sound effects — the detail listeners single out. The film (in cinemas March 2026, on Prime Video from July 3, 2026) has searches for the 2021 recording climbing again.
