Description
1973: a top-secret mission during the last flight to the Moon. Three astronauts in a tiny spacecraft four hundred thousand kilometers from home. Four hundred thousand kilometers from any help. NASA is preparing to launch Apollo 18. Although this mission appears to be scientific, flight controller Kazimieras "Kaz" Zemeckis knows that its purpose has a darker background. Intelligence agencies have revealed that America is being secretly spied on by a Soviet space station, and Apollo 18 may represent the only chance to stop it. While Kaz tries to keep the NASA-selected crew one step ahead of their Russian rivals, a disaster occurs that uncovers that not everyone involved is as they seem. Politically, so much is at stake, and the White House and the Kremlin can only watch as their astronauts compete on the lunar surface, where the hand of justice cannot reach and where there is no rescue. Murders in Apollo, overflowing with fascinating technical details beloved by fans of the novel The Martian, as well as the thrilling claustrophobia, twists, and tension of The Hunt for Red October, are a gripping thriller like no other. Chris Hadfield captures the brutal overload at launch, the chilling loneliness of space, and the fear of a person clinging to a cloak...
