      In 1969, Apollo 11 landed on the moon . . . didn't they?After China announce a space mission to place their own flag next to the one US astronauts planted during the Apollo 11 mission, few people bat an eyelid. Shortly after this statement Charlie Stephens, a 74-year-old former filmmaker, is murdered. The incident is made to look like an accident, but why?Going through his father's effects, Gary Stephens discovers reels of 35mm celluloid showing the Apollo mission was faked - there's no US flag on the moon, and only a handful of people know it.

      The Apollo Deception
    • V roce 1964 zapečetil Ian Fleming, tvůrce Jamese Bonda, balíček se svým rukopisem, a doufal, že si jej někdo přečte teprve padesát let po jeho smrti. V roce 2005 je vyzvána Amy Greenbergová, americká vysokoškolská učitelka se skvělou budoucností, aby v Irsku převzala obsah bezpečnostní schránky svého dědečka, ve které nalezne pouze jedinou věc: rukopis od Iana Fleminga. Stránky popisují zapojení Fleminga do špionážní činnosti Spojenců a obsahují informace tak důvěrné a potencionálně výbušné, že Amy brzy zjistí, že lidé na obou stranách Atlantiku mají v úmyslu ji zabít, jen aby zachovali tajemství rukopisu. Tato skvělá prvotina nového talentovaného autora kombinuje napínavé pátrání se strhující akcí ve zcela novém pojetí špionážního románu.
