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 mph, 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.
Soon to be a major TV series from Altitude and SS's Balboa Productions

Recenzii
This is such a terrifically confident, well-written thriller that to find it is the author's debut is unexpected
A terrific counterfactual thriller . . . an adroitly handled blend of twists and Cold War politics
Commander Hadfield takes us on an exciting journey into an alternate past. And who better to write about astronauts than an astronaut himself!
An explosive thriller from a writer who has actually been to Space and back. Strap in for the ride!
A nail-biting cold war thriller . . . It's a very rare book that combines so many things I love, from taut suspense and highly realistic action, to the golden age of space exploration. I couldn't put it down
There's maybe one person on Earth with the writing chops and the expertise
to write a to-the-Moon thriller this exciting, this authentic. Chris Hadfield is that guy
Not to be missed. Even in fiction there is authenticity. It is either there... or it is not. With Chris Hadfield it is, because everything he describes he has really seen
A relentlessly exciting, deeply intriguing insider's look at the prime years of the Apollo space program, ingeniously weaving together three of the coldest, darkest things in existence - Cold War politics, space, and murder
Hadfield's bona fides are unimpeachable - but it's his inventive action sequences and keen eye for illuminating details that propel THE APOLLO MURDERS ever skyward in this stellar thrill ride
Chris Hadfield has deftly combined fact and fiction in a gripping tale of high-stakes treachery [that] builds to an explosive and satisfying finale.
Hadfield uses historical and technical detail to drive a gripping mix of twists and Cold War politics
His vast experience adds layers of fascinating detail about space travel without slowing the gripping action
This is a gripping and convincing thriller, as a spaceship makes a wonderfully claustrophobic crime scene
Hadfield's descriptions of space-shots and lunar modules are vivid and engaging
A spry action-adventure romp, crammed with technical detail, that sprinkles real-life figures amid the fictional characters. Since Hadfield has himself flown in a space shuttle and served aboard the International Space Station, he writes with authority but also with a surprisingly astute grasp of what makes a thriller work
The real and genuine joy of The Apollo Murders is the insight Hadfield gives into life as an astronaut
With a spectacular alternate history thriller . . . an intelligent and surprising nail-biter that Tom Clancy fans will relish
As someone who has actually been to space, Hadfield makes his techno-thiller jargon read true . . . an accomplished story from a first-time novelist
Totally gripping from first page to last
Clever . . . gutsy . . . the book also features very well drawn characters, natural-sounding dialogue, and a story that leads the reader to expect a spectacular conclusion (and delivers it)
An exceptional Cold War thriller
One of the most accomplished astronauts in the world, Chris Hadfield has drawn on his wealth of experience to produce a cold-war thriller riven with detail and authenticity
[A] sharp and tense read and a fresh take on the Cold War space race
A gripping novel
The Apollo Murders is a superior space thriller that has so much tension and suspense you'll need to take a big, shaky breath when you reach the end
He keeps the tension high and the characters vivid
A treat of a thriller . . . a perfect combination of mystery and science fiction that will please aficionados of both genres
Hadfield's first-hand understanding of space travel and cutting-edge flying machinery is pretty much unrivalled. As a result, you end up learning as you read ... a genuinely exciting trip
An original and insightful Cold War thriller that is entrancing from the first page
This is a tale that will appeal to lovers of science fiction, science fact, murder, espionage, and thrillers. Highly recommended
