RED MOON is a modern historical novel, faithful in detail, about the other side of the Space Race. It begins with a murder, and follows the story of a young man, Yuri Ribko, as he grows from engineering student to cosmonaut under the secret control of his KGB uncle. This fascinating thriller takes the reader deep into the heart of the Soviet space programme, its successes, and its heart-breaking failures, and shows us the human face on the other side of the Iron Curtain.
