In 1969, Apollo 11 landed on the moon . . . didn' t they? After China announce a space mission to place their own flag next to the one US astronauts planted during the Apollo 11 mission, few people bat an eyelid. Shortly after this statement Charlie Stephens, a 74-year-old former filmmaker, is murdered. The incident is made to look like an accident, but why? Going through his father' s effects, Gary Stephens discovers reels of 35mm celluloid showing the Apollo mission was faked - there' s no US flag on the moon, and only a handful of people know it. For his own safety Gary is brought into Mission Dark Side, a government-sanctioned cover-up to send a crew to the moon to plant the flag before the Chinese reach it . . . but there are those out to sabotage the mission and cause the US a national embarrassment.

For all popular collections, in multiple copies * Library Journal Reviews on In Secret Service *
