Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield's next adventure will be set in the far-off world of space fiction.
Random House Canada announced on Tuesday that Hadfield's debut novel, "The Apollo Murders," is scheduled to hit shelves on Oct. 12.
In a statement, Hadfield says the thriller will be rooted in the "little-known reality" of the Cold War-era space race, and will feature characters both real and imagined.
Random House Canada says the story centres on a NASA crew racing against their Soviet rivals to reach the far side of the moon, but someone on-board the Apollo module has "murder on the mind."
