The Apollo Murders by Chris Hadfield
3.0

It is what it says it is: a commercial fiction Cold War romp with the specificity of hard science fiction. It does the thing. It’s a fun thing to consume. You need to be invested in either of those things to get much more out of it, I think.

It’s far too granular on the details and intricacies of the technology for my tastes. I suppose I discovered that hard sci-fi and maybe astronaut fiction (is that a thing) is not something I care about all that much.

It’s an entertaining book despite that though, which is a feat in of itself. And, tbh, any book that razes a Chad I’m behind. At an ideological level, you know?
