An exciting sequel to the Apollo Murders. Is there anything Chris Hadfield can’t do? I hope he continues this series.

2.5 ⭐ Overall, I felt similarly about this book as I did the first. Chris Hadfield's extensive research and knowledge about the topic were very evident, but he just went overboard with the details and descriptions. I ended up skimming through sections frequently.
I will say I did really enjoy the ending, but it took me a while to get there.
