Ein einziger Überläufer bestimmt das Schicksal einer ganzen Nation Einer der besten Kampfpiloten der US Air Force und US Navy schreibt einen Thriller über den Kalten Krieg – authentischer wird es nicht mehr! Chris Hadfield verknüpft spannendes Insiderwissen über Technik mit politischen Intrigen, die auf wahren Begebenheiten beruhen. Israel, 1973. Während der Jom-Kippur-Krieg aufflammt, rast ein hochmoderner Kampfjet mit halsbrecherischer Geschwindigkeit über das trockene Buschland. Darin: ein sowjetischer Pilot, der in die USA überlaufen will. Seine Informationen sind von unschätzbarem Wert, denn er kennt die Geheimnisse der legendären »Foxbat« MiG-25, des schnellsten und höchstfliegenden Kampfflugzeugs der Welt, und somit auch den Schlüssel zur Lufthoheit im Kalten Krieg. Der NASA-Flugleiter und ehemalige Testpilot der US-Marine Kaz Zemeckis erhält den Auftrag, den Überläufer auf das geheimste Testgelände der USA zu bringen. Doch die Aktion birgt ein hohes Risiko und Kaz kann nur hoffen, dass das gefährliche Spiel nach seinen Vorstellungen verläuft. Perfekt für Fans von Tom Clancy, David Baldacci und Robert Ludlum. »Spannend bis zum Abwinken ... Hadfield ist eindeutig dazu bestimmt, Tom Clancy als Meister des Technothrillers zu beerben.« Irish Independent

Doch nicht nur die US-amerikanische Crew, auch die Sowjetunion ist hinter den bislang verborgenen Schätzen des Mondes her. Der Flugleiter Kazimieras »Kaz« Zemeckis aus Houston muss alles tun, um die NASA-Crew zusammenzuhalten und gleichzeitig seinen sowjetischen Rivalen immer einen Schritt voraus zu sein. Aber nicht jeder an Bord von Apollo 18 ist ganz der, der er zu sein scheint. Es häufen sich die Anzeichen, dass einer von ihnen ein Mörder ist und Schreckliches im Sinn hat. Die Mission ist in höchster Gefahr, der Ausgang ungewiss.

Chris Hadfield's book shows us our home - our city, country, continent, our whole planet - from a unique perspective. The millions of us who followed Chris's Twitter feed from the ISS thought we knew what we were looking at when we saw his photos. This photo documentary shows us we didn't. We caught the beauty but missed the meaning. Curated from images never before shared, Chris's big picture reveals why our planet looks the way it does and why we live where we do.

A visually stunning tour of Earth from the astronaut whose photographs - taken from the International Space Station - made us fall in love with our planet all over again . . . In You Are Here, bestselling author and celebrated astronaut Chris Hadfield creates a virtual orbit of Earth, giving us the really big picture: this is our home, from space. The millions of us who followed Hadfield's news-making Twitter feed from the ISS thought we knew what we were looking at when we first saw his photos. But we may have caught the beauty and missed the full meaning. Now, through photographs - many of which have never been shared - Hadfield unveils a fresh and insightful look at our planet. He sees astonishing detail and importance in these images, not just because he's spent months in space but because his in-depth knowledge of geology, geography and meteorology allows him to reveal the photos' mysteries. Featuring Hadfield's favourite images, You Are Here is divided by continent and represents one (idealized) orbit of the ISS. This planetary photo tour - surprising, playful, thought-provoking and visually delightful - provides a breathtakingly beautiful perspective on the wonders of the world. You Are Here opens a singular window on our planet, using remarkable photographs to illuminate the history and consequences of human settlement, the magnificence of newly uncovered landscapes, and the power of the natural forces shaping our world and the future of our species.
