Final Orbit by Chris Hadfield (SIGNED, PRE-ORDER)

DATE OF RELEASE: 9 OCT 2025

SIGNED EDITION.

From the author of the international bestseller The Apollo Murders: an edge of the seat Cold War thriller, set against the backdrop of the real 1970s 'Space race' between the US, USSR and China . . .

1975. A new Apollo mission launches into orbit, on course to dock with a Russian
Soyuz craft: three NASA astronauts and three cosmonauts, joining 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 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 very first astronaut aboard, purpose unknown . . .

Full of Cold War intrigue and real historical characters, Final Orbit accelerates to a thrilling conclusion - and brings to life the loneliness, majesty and pure rush of Space flight, with all of the hard-won experience of a writer who is himself one of the most decorated astronauts alive.
