Houston 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 as NASA Flight Controller Kaz Zemeckis listens in from Earth
a deadly accident changes everything. Meanwhile from a remote location in east Asia the
first Chinese spacecraft secretly launches. On board is China's first astronaut Fang Kuo-chun
whose mission puts him on a collision course with the Apollo crew. As Kaz races against an
enemy on the ground and for answers beyond the sky the safety of the remaining crew hangs in
the balance . . . Full of intrigue and real history - including the fascinating story of
Professor Tsien Hsue-shen the 'Father of Chinese Rocketry' and founder of China's space
program - Final Orbit accelerates to a thrilling conclusion that captures the beauty and terror
of survival 270 miles above Earth as could only be written by one of the most experienced
astronauts alive. Praise for the Apollo Murders series 'A nail-biting Cold War thriller '
James Cameron 'An exciting journey to an alternate past' Andy Weir 'Not to be missed'
