Hadfield brings so much authenticity to this book. The intrigue is intense, and as the title suggests, people will die. Kaz is involved behind the scenes and with privilege to top secret intelligence, with a link directly to the White House. Within weeks of the planned launch, the mission of Apollo 18 changes radically to allow for some outer space spying and sabotage against the Soviet Almaz space Station. Kaz is one cool cat he drives fast, works hard, and faces challenges with intensity and dedication.
Former test pilot and astronaut candidate Kaz Zemeckis has been assigned by NASA to Houston as crew liaison as they prepare to launch Apollo 18. Set in 1973, all this takes place against the backdrop of a very different US/USSR relationship. In this, his first fictional thriller, he gives us a glimpse of the wonders of space, the thrill of space travel, the interworking of NASA, and on top of all that, some good old-fashioned Cold War intrigue. Though he really doesn’t need any introduction, Hadfield is a retired NASA astronaut, engineer, fighter pilot, former commander of the International Space Station, musician, and of course, Canadian. Write about what you know! And in The Apollo Murders, author Chris Hadfield has certainly done just that.
