NASA flight controller Kazimieras "Kaz" Zemeckis knows the ropes - he dreamed of becoming an astronaut himself before his accident. But he's never seen a mission like Apollo 18. US intelligence has discovered a secret Soviet space station spying on America, and this last space flight may be the only chance to stop it.

But as Apollo 18 launches, a suspicious death reveals that nothing is as it seems, and Kaz finds himself racing to keep the NASA crew one step ahead of their Russian rivals. With political tension stretched to the breaking point, the astronauts collide on the lunar surface, far beyond the reach of law or rescue.

Filled with fast-paced action, shocking twists, and fascinating technical detail, The Apollo Murders is a high-stakes thriller unlike any other, and an adventure that could come only from New York Times bestselling writer and astronaut Chris Hadfield.
