Any suggestions?

This may or may not push your buttons. The new novel from Andy Wier ("The Martian") is called "Project Hail Mary." It almost meets your criteria, but has two parallel-ish storylines.
Spoiler-free description: the apocalyptic stuff is told in flashback as the main character awakens from a medically-induced coma, and begins to recover the memories that he's humanity's last hope for survival.
