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.

Kritikerstimmen

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!
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

Ein Autor, der weiß, wovon er schreibt, eine Handlung, die - innerhalb des Genres - halbwegs glaubwürdig ist, und Personen (sowohl die fiktiven als auch die realen), denen man Beachtung schenken kann. Was will man mehr?
Ja, natürlich gibt es ein paar Handlungsstränge, die kurz angerissen werden und dann völlig unmotiviert wieder enden (Beispiel: Raketenteilsammler in der Wüste... was sollte das?), aber im Großen und Ganzen hat die Sache Hand und Fuß.
Der Sprecher ist sowieso ein ganz Guter. Kenne ihn von Project Hail Mary, und ich mag seine Stimme sehr.
Der langen Rede kurzer Sinn: Wer Alternate History mag und ein Space Buff ist, wird an dem (Hör-)Buch großen Gefallen finden.

Passt!

Insanely good techno thriller that is in no way inferior to the early works of Tom Clancy

Techno Thriller Gold

The first third of the book is unfortunately only... Meh. Storytelling and pacing are quite rough, and I was close to giving up, it just didn't hook me. But if you're a sicker for a thrilling steady climb to a climax and like some good action it is worth to stick with it

Thrilling end, but rough to get there

You can really tell that Chris Hadfield knows intimately what he’s writing about. I’d check my helicopter before I fly after him, for sure.

Great read and great narrator!

I am an Action Hero!

Ich fand das Buch bis zum Schluss sehr spannend, und ich habe auch die technischen Details sehr geschätzt. Der Sprecher macht seinen Job richtig gut. Aber die letzte halbe Stunde hat den Eindruck leider kaputt gemacht, denn der Schluss ist wirklich ziemlich plakativ.
Sehr schade.

tolles Buch, aber merkwürdiger Schluss
