Hail Mary by Andy Weir
The race is on to save Earth. A mysterious organism is eating the sun. The solution seems to lie at the Star Tau Ceti. The race is on to get a ship there to find the solution and get that solution back to Earth before the sun can no longer sustain life on Earth.
The usual Weir stuff, known best for writing The Martian. Our hero has to solve innumerable scientific problems which Weir loves to write about. I tend to gloss over those. The world building is kind of good. There are a bunch of twists as our hero solves problems scientifically.
Very readable.

As a matter of fact, my anger does keep me warm
