Summary
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.

Totally feasible, well read novel.
Gripping, story about a possible scenario involving Apollo 18, built, but never launched. Was used in mid 70s Appollo/Soyuz orbital link up.

Best book I've listened to in ages
I loved The Apollo Murders. Yes, there's a lot of technical detail, but I felt I was in the rocket and on the moon with the astronauts.
The only flaw is how the psychologists at NASA failed to spot a pretty obvious psychopath!
Please write more Chris

Excellent story.
A great yarn. Using real people of the time and real hardware of the Apollo programme added to the story. Hope Chris writes another in the same sort of area of his expertise. Enjoy 😉.

Superb
What a listen! The fact that a lot of the people/events and things mentioned in the story are real AND that the book is written by a genuine astronaut just adds an extra superb element to the book. Really good story - couldn’t stop listening! Highly recommended.

Real space thriller
Really good thriller with lots of unexpected twists and turns. I have read widely on the Apollo missions and as you would expect from an ex-astronaut the details are spot on.
