| Summary, etc |
"Final Orbit lifts off as the joint Apollo-Soyuz mission--meant to ease Cold War tensions--launches. But a new player has entered the space race, and all bets are now off as to who will win. 1975. A new Apollo mission launches into orbit, on course to dock with a Russian Soyuz craft. Three NASA astronauts and three cosmonauts will join forces to celebrate a new dawn of Soviet-American cooperation. But a third power is rising in the race to dominate Space. As NASA Flight Controller Kaz Zemeckis listens in on the mission from Earth, three of the six astronauts are killed in a depressurisation accident. And from a remote location in east Asia, a capsule secretly launches with China's first astronaut aboard, purpose unknown. A thriller that packs in all of the historical detail, political intrigue and pure rush that made Chris Hadfield's first two novels in the Apollo Murders Series runaway bestsellers, Final Orbit takes us back to Space--and brings to life Tsien Hsue-Shen: a real, Chinese-born, American-trained genius in rocketry who was arrested during the McCarthy witchhunts, deported after five years of house arrest ... and became the father of China's nuclear and space programs."--Provided by publisher. |
