À propos de cet audio
From the #1 bestselling author and astronaut Chris Hadfield, an edge-of-your-seat thriller set about China's secret role in the 1970s Space Race between the US and the USSR.
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 Guojun, 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.
Ce que les critiques en disent
"Phenomenally combines thriller and historical fiction. . . . Action-filled, believable drama that flows. Readers of sci-fi thrillers by Isaac Asimov, Andy Weir and James Michener will enjoy the realism of Hadfield’s latest." —Library Journal (starred review)
"Another high-flying adventure. . . . Hadfield is a terrific storyteller, and his blending of the real and the made-up is seamless. Another terrific thriller from a writer who is uniquely qualified to write it." —Booklist
"Hadfield delivers a pulse-pounding adventure about a 1975 U.S.-Soviet space mission that devolves into a battle hundreds of miles above Earth. . . . The crackling finale is well worth the wait." —Publishers Weekly
"Hadfield has developed a signature style that fluidly blends real historical personages and events with explosive action. . . . Hadfield has established himself as a reliable brand in grounded, retro-flavoured SF." —Toronto Star
"Engrossing. . . . Deftly chronicles how China's clandestine launch of its first astronaut in east Asia leads to an international espionage incident and an accident that puts the entire joint mission in jeopardy." —Space.com
"Possibly the most realistic depiction of a 'battle' between two spacecraft ever written. As in his previous books, Hadfield expertly weaves fact, fiction and his own experiences in orbit to produce a novel that is both technical and entertaining. . . . A master of the genre." —New Scientist

Chris Hadfield delivers a tightly constructed and technically vivid finale in FINAL ORBIT, blending geopolitical suspense with authentic space-flight detail. The result is a satisfying and atmospheric conclusion to his Cold War-era trilogy.
Hadfield is one of the most seasoned and accomplished astronauts in the world. His experience enhances the sensory realism of the situations on the ground and in orbit. He masterfully unfolds catastrophe through the lens of people trained not to panic. The technical writing is sharp and cinematic, though the abundance of procedural detail may slow the narrative for readers unfamiliar with aerospace terminology.
Still, FINAL ORBIT excels as both a tense thriller and an homage to an era when scientific cooperation and national rivalry coexisted uneasily. It closes the trilogy on an explosive note while also making it bittersweet to leave behind Kaz and Svetlana and wish them the best in their careers.
