The Apollo Murders

The Apollo Murders by Chris Hadfield and read by Ray Porter is a really great Cold War thriller. A true SCIENCE fiction novel, Hadfield brings his real-life astronaut expertise to the book to tell a fascinating story on Earth and in space. The book tells the story of an Apollo 18 mission to the moon, and has lots of twists and complications along the way that kept me on the edge of my seat. I also started this book before Russia invaded Ukraine, and it was kind of surreal to listen to a Cold War story right as Russia and Ukraine become prominent in the news. I found the plot and world extremely compelling, although the character development did seem a bit uneven at times. Despite some elements not seeming as fleshed out as others, I still really enjoyed this book. Porter was excellent as always.
