Two science fiction masters—Jack McDevitt and Mike Resnick—team up to deliver a classic thriller in which one man uncovers the hidden history of the United States space program…
“Houston, we have a problem…”
Formerly a cynical, ambitious PR man, Jerry Culpepper finally found a client he could believe in when he was hired as NASA’s public affairs director. Proud of the Agency’s history and sure of its destiny, he was thrilled to be a part of its future.
But public disinterest and budget cuts changed that future. Now, a half century after the first Moon landing, Jerry feels like the only one with stars in his eyes.
Then a fifty-year-old secret about the Apollo XI mission is revealed, and he finds himself embroiled in the biggest controversy of the twenty-first century, one that will test his ability—and his willingness—to spin the truth about a conspiracy of reality-altering proportions...

*Starred Review* Two SF powerhouses team up for this near-future thriller that touches on one of the great conspiracy theories of our time: that NASA is keeping secrets about the Apollo program. When Jerry Culpepper, NASA public-relations director, listens to an audio recording that seems to reveal that NASA put an astronaut on the moon six months before Neil Armstong’s “one small step,” he’s inclined to dismiss it as some sort of joke. Why would NASA keep something like that a secret for 50 years? But, as more evidence appears, Jerry is forced to question everything he believes in: NASA, the space program, even himself. This is an extremely well told tale in which the authors dispense information a bit at a time, in the manner of a police procedural, and Culpepper is a well-designed character, an idealist (but not an idiot) with whom readers will find it easy to empathize. Bucky Blackstone, the larger-than-life billionaire who’s planning his own manned mission to the moon (similarities to certain real-life individuals are surely not coincidental), is colorful and difficult to pin down: Is he a galumphing good guy, unaware of the confusion he’s causing, or is he a devious villain? And the story’s astounding conclusion is wildly imaginative but also completely believable. Readers, be warned to get comfortable before opening the book. You could put it down at some point, perhaps, but why on earth would you want to? --David Pitt

“McDevitt and Resnick take us along on a well-written ride through all sorts of back-door deals and hidden secrets before they tell us what really happened...as they rewrite history in a way that doesn’t conflict with what we think we know.”—Florida-Times Union
“The apparent cover-up conspiracy at the heart of (the novel) is unpeeled back layer by layer through and elaborate series of plot twists and turns.”—Jessup Press Sentinel
“The authors expertly crank up the tension and maintain it throughout via a suite of thoroughly believable characters.”—Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

A good (not great) mystery about the Apollo moon landings
By Jeff A. Tipton
I'm a big Jack McDevitt fan and couldn't wait to get this book. I read it in one sitting, although it took all day. The book is 387 pages but is an easy read.
It's a few years in the future and NASA is close to being shut down. There is a celebration to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Apollo XI moon landing and Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin's historic moon landing and moon walk. The celebration is bittersweet as all involved reminisce about old times and what might have been had NASA been supported to a greater degree.
As part of the celebration NASA releases tons of archived material - audio, video, and written material - that dates from the time of the moon landings. One particular audio clip is an attention-grabber: There is an exchange between the Apollo IX (9 not 11) crew and Houston that seems to indicate that the crew is preparing to make a landing. But how can this be? This was several months before Apollo XI and Apollo IX was supposed to be a shakedown of the real moon landing. How could they be preparing to land? It's all initially passed off as just a misunderstanding or a joke between the crew and the ground. But the exchange is unmistakable - the crew clearly stated they were preparing for a landing.
What follows is a mystery as the NASA PR director, the President, and a billionaire entrepreneur (think Donald Trump) all follow separate clues to try and determine if there really was a moon landing much earlier than what history records, and if there was, why.
Pros: The book is a good mystery and has a couple of minor twists at the end you may not see coming. Without spoiling anything, one of the twists you may have had to live through the times to be able to figure out the clues. The second twist you probably won't see until it's right on top of you.
Cons: No character development at all - the book is strictly about the moon landings and the effort to uncover a secret history. The characters involved are somewhat cartoonish they are so one-dimensional. The Donald Trump character may cause you to roll your eyes a couple of times, he's so over-the-top in his disdain for the government and in his ability to get his way by throwing his money around.
The ending of the book presents a sort of question for the reader: Given the circumstances that unfolded in the book, would you make the same decision two presidents did?
You'll have to read the book to see what those two presidents did.
I rated this 3 stars because I like McDevitt and I like a good mystery, but I understand some of the 1 and 2 star ratings.

Boring bland beginner sci-fi
By Steven D. Krall
I've been reading Sci Fi for more than 30 years...I've got two or three hundred or so novels in my personal library, and have probably read a thousand easily...maybe 2k. I'm rarely bored or disinterested. But this book manages both. It's hard to believe a book with all the ingredients this one has falls so flat. NASA, moon landing conspiracy, Nixon, McDevitt and Resnick. And yet, it does. Let me also say I ma a HUGE fan of both writers. Resnick was part of what made me fall in love and be obsessed with Sci Fi. The Soul Eater was one of my early readings. How it is possible he AND McDevitt are responsible for this novel I don't know.
About The Cassandra Project....all the plot reviews are available, so I won't go into it again. But I will advise you to not buy this book based on the reputations of the writers. The book may be fit for A young reader or Sci Fi beginner...as it has zero science (soft sci-fi doesn't begin to describe it), very little plot or character development. In fact the characters are bland and lifeless, even the supposed "colorful character" is predictable and cliche. NASA and Titusville are so vague you could get more inside information from the Yellow Pages and an Interstate rest stop brochure.
I love all kinds of Sci-Fi...from the hard complex SF of Vinge to the more human side of Orson Scott Card to the comical side of Douglas Adams. I don't take negativity lightly, but I recommend that you do yourself a favor and avoid this one. There's just nothing here, unless you want a quick mindless unemotional, no-science science fiction.

A major disappointment
By Colin Barrett
This goes along for most of the way like one of McDevitt's Alec Benedict novels, which are usually great fun. A slender thread begins it, leading to another thread, and another, and still more, and finally these tiny threads lead us to the revelation of a great and Earth-shattering result. The Devil's Eye is for me the best, but the others have also been of the same caliber, and quality.
Here you have the beginning threads, and this new one, and that, and lots of anticipation, and finally you get, at the very end, to. . . a dull thud. Both utterly unbelievable and utterly dumb. The history is nonsense, most especially the implied ancient history, and the whole thing falls dead flat. It's like Gertrude Stein said about Oakland--when you get there, there's no there there. And you wind up feeling an idiot for having followed the authors' winding path with such breathless anticipation.
Find somebody who'll at least give you a broad hint about the conclusion. Then decide for yourself if you want to waste good reading time to arrive at this particular destination.
