ISBN: 9780316264532 - the apollo murders (the apollo murders series, 1) (20 Ergebnisse)

Hardback. Zustand: Very Good. From New York Times bestselling author and astronaut Chris Hadfield comes this exceptional thriller and "exciting journey" into the dark heart of the Cold War and the space race (Andy Weir, author of The Martian and Project Hail Mary)--soon to be a major TV series from Altitude and Sylvester Stallone's Balboa Productions. 1973: a final, top-secret mission to the Moon. Three astronauts in a tiny spaceship, a quarter million miles from home. A quarter million miles from help. NASA is about to launch Apollo 18. While the mission has been billed as a scientific one, flight controller Kazimieras "Kaz" Zemeckis knows there is a darker objective. Intelligence has discovered a secret Soviet space station spying on America, and Apollo 18 may be the only chance to stop it. But even as Kaz races to keep the NASA crew one step ahead of their Russian rivals, a deadly accident reveals that not everyone involved is quite who they were thought to be. With political stakes stretched to the breaking point, the White House and the Kremlin can only watch as their astronauts collide on the lunar surface, far beyond the reach of law or rescue.   Full of the fascinating technical detail that fans of The Martian loved, and reminiscent of the thrilling claustrophobia, twists, and tension of The Hunt for Red October, The Apollo Murders is a high-stakes thriller unlike any other. Chris Hadfield captures the fierce G-forces of launch, the frozen loneliness of space, and the fear of holding on to the outside of a spacecraft orbiting the Earth at 17,000 miles per hour as only someone who has experienced all of these things in real life can.   Strap in and count down for the ride of a lifetime. "Packed with cosmic action. Featuring undercover spies, scheming Russians and psychopathic murderers, sometimes all at once, it teems with authoritative details." --The New York Times   "Nail-biting . . . I couldn't put it down." --James Cameron, writer and director of Avatar and Titanic   "Not to be missed." --Frederick Forsyth, author of The Day of the Jackal   "An explosive thriller by a writer who has actually been to space . . . Strap in for the ride!" --Gregg Hurwitz, author of Orphan X.…

Hardcover. Zustand: Fair. Ohne Schutzumschlag; Leichte Kratzer / Abnutzungen / Druckstellen. New York Times bestselling astronaut Chris Hadfield returns with a gripping Cold War thriller set during the Space Race. In 1973, three astronauts find themselves trapped in a small Apollo module on the Moon's far side, with one harboring murderous intent. As American and Russian crews race for a hidden bounty on the lunar surface, old rivalries intensify, and political tensions escalate back on Earth. Houston flight controller Kazimieras 'Kaz' Zemeckis must keep the NASA crew united while outmaneuvering Soviet competitors. However, not everyone aboard Apollo 18 is who they seem. This novel is rich in technical detail, appealing to fans of The Martian, and evokes the claustrophobic suspense of The Hunt for Red October. Readers are immersed in the experience, a quarter of a million miles from home and help. Feel the intense G-forces of launch, the isolation of space, and the peril of clinging to a spacecraft orbiting Earth at 17,000 miles per hour, all narrated by a former Commander of the International Space Station who has lived these moments. Prepare for an exhilarating journey.…
