It's very Hard Science in a lot of areas, pages of learning that could possibly allow you to build a space vessel if you were interested, But at the same time the characters, and I mean ALL the characters are filled with humanity and emotion.....and snark. Love the snark.
There's a lot of mystery that slowly reveals answers as the story goes back and forth between current time in space and the years before when Earth was in danger of dying as the Sun died.
I highly recommend this book to all Sci-Fi readers.

Ryland Grace
is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission—and if he
fails, humanity and the earth itself will perish.
Except
that right now, he doesn’t know that. He can’t even remember his own
name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it.
All
he knows is that he’s been asleep for a very, very long time. And he’s
just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with
nothing but two corpses for company.
His
crewmates dead, his memories fuzzily returning, Ryland realizes that an
impossible task now confronts him. Hurtling through space on this tiny
ship, it’s up to him to puzzle out an impossible scientific mystery—and
conquer an extinction-level threat to our species.
And with the clock ticking down and the nearest human being light-years away, he’s got to do it all alone.
Or does he?
