"A pulse-pounding new thriller from the #1 bestselling author and astronaut Chris Hadfield, 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."--- Subjects: Thrillers (Fiction); Historical fiction.; Spy fiction.; Novels.; Apollo Soyuz Test Project; United States.

- Gemini : stepping stone to the moon, the untold story / by Kluger, Jeffrey,author.;
From the bestselling co-author of Apollo 13 comes the thrilling untold story of the pioneering Gemini program that was instrumental in getting Americans on the moon. Without Gemini, there would be no Apollo. After we first launched Americans into space but before we touched down on the moon's surface, there was the Gemini program. It was no easy jump from manned missions in low-Earth orbit to a successful moon landing, and the ten-flight, twenty-month celestial story of the Gemini program is an extraordinary one. There was unavoidable darkness in the program -- the deaths and near-deaths that defined it, and the blood feud with the Soviet Union that animated it. But there were undeniable and previously inconceivable successes. With a war raging in Vietnam and lawmakers calling for cuts to NASA's budget, the success of the Gemini program -- or the space program in general -- was never guaranteed. Yet against all odds, the remarkable scientists and astronauts behind the project persevered, and their efforts paid off. Later, with the knowledge gained from the Gemini flights, NASA would launch the legendary Apollo program. Told with Jeffrey Kluger's signature cinematic storytelling and in-depth research and interviews, Gemini is an edge-of-your-seat narrative chronicling the history of the least appreciated -- and most groundbreaking -- space program in American history. Finally, Gemini's story will be told, and finally, we'll learn the truth of how we landed on the moon.- Subjects: United States.
