The episode premieres on August 27th at 8PM ET as a PBS Books Facebook Live event\, on the PBS Books YouTube channel\, pbsbooks.org\, and the PBS app. \nGet the Book\nShop through our Bookshop.org or Libro.fm affiliate links and a portion of your purchase helps PBS Books continue to create original content you love. \nDr. Ryland Grace wakes up alone on a spaceship millions of miles from home\, with no memory of who he is\, how he got there\, or what he’s supposed to be doing. As his memories return\, he realizes Earth is in grave danger and that the fate of humanity may depend on him. No pressure\, right? \nAs the pieces come together and he begins to uncover his mission\, he finds help in the most unexpected place. Will Dr. Grace find what he needs to save humanity\, and is he really the hero they need\, or just the one they have? \nAs Weir details\, “I had the whole story in my mind kind of roughly laid out before I even started page one. In fact\, I knew what the last scene was going to be before I wrote the first word…” \nProject Hail Mary is equal parts thrilling\, clever\, funny\, and surprisingly tender. Dr. Grace’s wry sense of humor\, mixed with his self-deprecation\, brings a light touch to a story that’s ultimately very smart and suspenseful. It’s a refreshing tale that celebrates curiosity\, courage\, and the power of unlikely friendship. \nPBS Watch-Alike: Summer of Space on PBSWant more out-of-this-world programming this summer?
