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 the fascinating technical detail that fans of The Martian loved, and reminiscent of the thrilling claustrophobia, twists and tension of The Hunt for Red October, The Apollo Murders puts you right there in the moment. Experience the fierce G-forces of launch, the frozen loneliness of Space and the fear of holding on to the outside of a spacecraft orbiting the Earth 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.

Serious drama! So exciting!

You’ll want to listen to each and every last word. Clear your schedule. You won’t want to do much else but follow along with this incredible journey.

A great read!

I loved the book. Ray Porter's delivery was on point as it always is. The book feels more real than it should. Chris' real life experience as an astronaut with NASA and Roscosmos really lends itself to the believability of the story. You almost want to google the names of some of the characters because you can't tell who's real and who's made up (thanks, Chris for adding the notes in the end to clear up just who was real and who was fictitious). I hope Chris writes more books like this!

Good story with historical significance

Chris Hatfield wears many hats. A pilot, astronaut, musician, and now a writer. A enjoyable read and well written. Highly recommend

A very good thriller

A very entertaining book with realistic detail to bring it to life.
The plot kept me guessing right to the end.
