The Apollo Murders

More about the book

New York Times bestselling astronaut Chris Hadfield returns with a gripping Cold War thriller set during the Space Race. In 1973, three astronauts find themselves trapped in a small Apollo module on the Moon's far side, with one harboring murderous intent. As American and Russian crews race for a hidden bounty on the lunar surface, old rivalries intensify, and political tensions escalate back on Earth. Houston flight controller Kazimieras 'Kaz' Zemeckis must keep the NASA crew united while outmaneuvering Soviet competitors. However, not everyone aboard Apollo 18 is who they seem. This novel is rich in technical detail, appealing to fans of The Martian, and evokes the claustrophobic suspense of The Hunt for Red October. Readers are immersed in the experience, a quarter of a million miles from home and help. Feel the intense G-forces of launch, the isolation of space, and the peril of clinging to a spacecraft orbiting Earth at 17,000 miles per hour, all narrated by a former Commander of the International Space Station who has lived these moments. Prepare for an exhilarating journey.
