Synopsis

In 2035, the US Navy discovers a strange space capsule that has crashed in the Indian Ocean. Helen Friedman is in charge of interrogating the two survivors, who are none other than Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin! Who, then, are the men who came back from the 1969 Apollo XI mission? A lunar expedition is set up to elucidate this mystery. Friedman is involved in a case that will lead her much further than she ever expected as history is rewritten.

Review

Damn it, I want to know what happens next!!! This is a very well crafted story which poses more questions than it answers and entices the reader in with it's sumptuous, almost dreamily realistic artwork. It's subtle and has taken great pains to introduce the characters rather than bombard the reader with action, action, action - which makes me think this story is going to have far reaching consequences for all characters concerned.

I really enjoyed reading this book and would very much like to read the next instalments.
