As director of NASA's public affairs department Jerry Culpepper believes wholeheartedly in the organization's mission to explore space. When budget cuts and lack of public interest in the face of more pressing political and social issues threaten the agency's existence, a notorious entrepreneur plans a privately funded voyage to the moon and approaches Culpepper with a proposition both attractive and politically explosive. When Culpepper uncovers hints of a 50-year-old cover up involving NASA and the moon landings, he discovers where his loyalties and commitments truly lie.
VERDICT Veteran sf authors McDevitt (Nebula) and Resnick (see his The Doctor and the Rough Rider, reviewed below) combine their considerable talents to tell a tale of conspiracies, of hope and despair, and of individual courage. Their near-future sf thriller should appeal to a wide audience and deserves to cross over into the adventure/suspense mainstream.
