Description
In 1973, a final top-secret mission to the Moon places three astronauts in a tiny module a quarter of a million miles from home and help. As Russian and American crews race for a secret bounty hidden on the lunar surface, old rivalries return and political stakes reach breaking point on Earth. Houston flight controller Kazimieras “Kaz” Zemeckis must keep the NASA crew together while staying ahead of his Soviet rivals, but not everyone aboard Apollo 18 is who they appear to be. Packed with fascinating technical detail, twists and tension, this thriller captures the dark majesty of space, the fierce G-forces of launch and the rush of clinging to the outside of a spacecraft travelling at 17,000 mph, as described by a former Commander of the International Space Station who has experienced all of it in real life.
