Name: The Apollo Murders
Rating: 3 (4 reviews)
Author: Chris Hadfield

Set in 1973, The Apollo Murders follows the final, top‑secret Apollo 18 mission, as three astronauts approach the Moon, 250,000 miles from Earth. As Soviet and American crews pursue a hidden lunar bounty, rivalries flare and stakes climb. At Mission Control in Houston, flight controller Kazimieras "Kaz" Zemeckis must keep the crew united and outpace Russian competitors, while aboard the spacecraft some personnel are not what they seem. With accurate technical detail and claustrophobic suspense, the book places readers in the intensity of launch G‑forces, the isolation of space, and the high‑speed orbit around Earth, narrated by former ISS commander Chris Hadfield.
