Project Hail Mary

Only an occasional audio book 'reader', to this point I thought Willem Defoe's 'Langoliers' couldn't be topped for quality, but this rendition of another Amazing Andy Weir novel has taken that title. I had read the book so had doubts that the technical aspects of the story would be too much for a narrated version to convey. Ray Porter knocks it out of the park. Just amazing. His normal tone is so spot on - but where he hits the stratosphere is in the dialects and voices for other characters. Just a stellar performance, that makes the story flow to an amazing level. As always, it's hard to gauge if it would have been better to 'read' this version before I'd read the printed word, but I think anyone coming into this cold would be more than satisfied whichever way they approach this.
