Is Project Hail Mary worth a credit?

The 16-hour runtime, audio-first production, and Ray Porter performance make this a strong credit candidate.

The cash-or-credit rule

If the current cash price is lower than your personal cost for one credit, paying cash may preserve the credit for a more expensive audiobook. If the cash price is higher, using a credit may save the difference. Regional prices, sales, membership terms, and edition availability can change.
