An all-new recording of the landmark #1 bestseller!

In April 1970, during the glory days of the Apollo space program, NASA sent Navy Captain Jim Lovell and two other astronauts on America’s fifth mission to the moon. Only fifty-five hours into the flight of Apollo 13, disaster struck: a mysterious explosion rocked the ship, and soon its oxygen and power began draining away. Written with all the color and drama of the best fiction, Apollo 13 (previously published as Lost Moon) tells the full story of the moon shot that almost ended in catastrophe. Minutes after the explosion, the three astronauts are forced to abandon the main ship for the lunar module, a tiny craft designed to keep two men alive for just two days. As the hours tick away, the narrative shifts from the crippled spacecraft to Mission Control, from engineers searching desperately for a way to fix the ship to Lovell's wife and children praying for his safe return. The entire nation watches as one crisis after another is met and overcome. By the time the ship splashes down in the Pacific, we understand why the heroic effort to rescue Lovell and his crew is considered by many to be NASA’s finest hour.

Decades after the launch of the mission, Jim Lovell and coauthor Jeffrey Kluger offer an incisive look at America's waxing and waning love affair with space exploration during the past three decades, culminating only recently when the Apollo 13 spacecraft itself, long consigned to an aviation museum outside Paris, was at last returned to its rightful home in the United States. The story of Apollo 13 is a timeless tribute to the enduring American spirit and sparkling individual heroism.

A very well written and detailed account of a truly historical event. Absolutely fantastic, much better than the movie.

Absolutely amazing!

The story is well paced and structured and I love that no detail or person is left out. Jon Arryn, Ed Smiley, and so many others who often aren't really featured in documentary bits or the excellent movie played significant roles in getting Apollo 13 home.

The narration, while well produced, clear and modulated is a bit too robotic and....flat for me.

Great book, so-so narration

A wonderful book narrated with a soft and soothing voice. The perfect book for fans of space flight and those curious to know what happens behind the scenes. A favorite was the history of the manned space flight program as it pertains to the decisions made for the Apollo missions.

An in depth first person look at the events leading up to Apollo 13

I didn't know much about Apollo XIII except for the iconic statement from Jim Lovell, "Houston we have a problem". That said, I was focused on the first lunar walk on July 20, 1969.

I am amazed at how sophisticated the command module, the service module, and the LEM were over 50 years ago. I remember that computers were room-sized monsters and programs were written using punch cards (at least I did)! I also learned that the spacecraft didn't fly itself. Lovell, Hayes, and Swigert possessed amazing skills

I found the details conversations between the crew and Mission Control tedious and somewhat overly technical and I didn't understand most of it. That said, I learned a lot and have tremendous respect for the crew and for Mission Control who brought them home safely.

Somewhat long and technical

This book was simply amazing. The actual details were nothing but astonishing. How these three men survived this ordeal was amazing. It took more than a village to bring them home and their bravery in the face of death can't be told enough. If you have any interest in this mission, it becomes a must read.

Fantastic Insight
