The Ellington Chronicles

The Shadow of Apollo

When an unmarked envelope lands on President Raymond Ellington's desk at midnight, it contains a thumb drive labeled "NASA's Pool Party" and a three-word note: The globe is a lie. What Ellington finds on that drive will shake the foundations of everything he thought he knew — astronauts training in a Houston tank, not walking on the Moon, and a fifty-year cover-up so vast it required the invention of an entire science of deception.

Ellington is a four-star general turned president who won the White House on one promise: that he would not look away. Now, with shadow operatives inside his own building, a scientist named Evelyn Hart racing through the Virginia countryside with tailors on her trail, and the evidence pointing toward a sealed mine in West Virginia where something brought back from the lunar surface has been quietly growing for forty years, he is about to find out what that promise costs.

The Shadow of Apollo is a propulsive political thriller that moves from the Oval Office to underground facilities to a West Virginia hillside where the truth, once released, cannot be contained. It is the first book in the Ellington Chronicles series.
