Science Fiction 101

Fly Me To The Moon (episode 11)


Listen Later

In the latest episode of the Science Fiction 101 podcast, we review a new book. The Apollo Murders is a novel about space - written by a honest-to-goodness real-life astronaut!

The author, Chris Hadfield, has flown on the Space Shuttle, and on Soyuz,  worked on the Russian Mir space station, and commanded the International  Space Station. You can't get more astronaut experience than that.

Hadfield  has also written books before, but until now has focused on  non-fiction. His best-selling book prior to this one was the  autobiographical An Astronaut's Guide to Life on Earth. But now he turns to fiction, with a thriller set during the Apollo era. But how does it stand up?

In  the podcast, regulars Colin and Phil are joined by Peter Kuskie to review the book and to join us in a Jeopardy-inspired quiz.
