Final Orbit: an action-packed space thriller from astronaut and bestselling author Chris Hadfield: The Apollo Murders Series
Autor Chris Hadfielden Limba Engleză Paperback – 7 oct 2025
Meanwhile, from a remote location in east Asia, the first Chinese spacecraft secretly launches. On board is China's first astronaut, Fang Kuo-chun, whose mission puts him on a collision course with the Apollo crew. As Kaz races against an enemy on the ground and for answers beyond the sky, the safety of the remaining crew hangs in the balance . . .
Full of intrigue and real history - including the fascinating story of Professor Tsien Hsue-shen, the 'Father of Chinese Rocketry' and founder of China's space program - Final Orbit accelerates to a thrilling conclusion that captures the beauty and terror of survival 270 miles above Earth, as could only be written by one of the most experienced astronauts alive.

Recenzii
Hadfield expertly weaves fact, fiction and his own experiences in orbit to produce a novel that is both technical and entertaining . . . a master of the genre
Hadfield is a terrific storyteller, and his blending of the real and the made-up is seamless. Another terrific thriller from a writer who is uniquely qualified to write it
Hadfield delivers a pulse-pounding adventure about a 1975 U.S.-Soviet space mission that devolves into a battle hundreds of miles above Earth . . . the crackling finale is well worth the wait
Hadfield is as deft at racking up the tension as he is at explaining complex technology simply to non-technical readers
Action-filled, believable drama that flows. Readers of sci-fi thrillers by Isaac Asimov, Andy Weir, and James Michener will enjoy the realism of Hadfield's latest
[A] wham-bang plot . . . Hadfield has developed a signature style that fluidly blends real historical personages and events with explosive action . . . Hadfield has established himself as a reliable brand in grounded, retro-flavoured SF
No holds are barred in this seat-edge thriller
Engrossing. . . . Deftly chronicles how China's clandestine launch of its first astronaut in east Asia leads to an international espionage incident and an accident that puts the entire joint mission in jeopardy
Equal parts spy novel, sci-fi yarn, historical tale and action hero thriller . . . a superbly detailed account of the real-life mission
PRAISE FOR THE APOLLO MURDERS SERIES: 'A nail-biting Cold War thriller'
An exciting journey to an alternate past
Not to be missed
Explosive
Exciting, authentic
