Description
'Explosive' Gregg Hurwitz, author of Orphan X
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.
Strap in and count down for the ride of a lifetime.

Ok, I got to 62% and had to stop. I love space stuff, and I'm actually really interested in BUT a lot of this went over my head, to be honest. It was very slow to start, with a lot of side stories that weren't relevant. Then there seemed to be a lot of people whose stories needed to be told with a lot going on in each story. I found myself going back a few times to double check things. There were a few outlandish things going on that no one seemed to question but at the same time, it was an announced space mission that everyone knew about but it was supposed to be top secret. Anyway, my head was getting to mush, so I stopped. I really wanted to like it but it wasn't for me.
