About this listen

An exceptional Cold War thriller from the dark heart of the Space Race, by astronaut and New York Times best-selling author Chris Hadfield.

1973: a final top-secret mission to the Moon. Three astronauts in a tiny module, a quarter of a million miles from home. A quarter of a million miles from help.

As Russian and American crews sprint for a secret bounty hidden away on the lunar surface, old rivalries blossom and the political stakes are stretched to breaking point back on Earth. Houston flight controller Kazimieras 'Kaz' Zemeckis must do all he can to keep the NASA crew together, while staying one step ahead of his Soviet rivals. But not everyone on board Apollo 18 is quite who they appear to be.

Full of fascinating technical detail, twists and tension, The Apollo Murders puts you right there in the moment. Experience the dark majesty of space, the fierce G-forces of launch and the rush of holding on to the outside of a spacecraft travelling at 17,000 miles per hour, as told by a former commander of the International Space Station who has done all of those things in real life.

Strap in and count down for the ride of a lifetime.

Most relevant

Cmdr Hadfield seems to be able to turn his mind to anything. This is an impressive book, factually and historically as accurate as fiction can get. Respectful and deeply familiar with US and Russian (Soviet) characters.

It joins a growing list of Alt. realities where Apollo 18 took place. but so far it is the ONLY one (in my arrogant opinion of course) that is any good.

Enjoy.

PS. It goes without saying that Ray Porter nails it yet again.
