Apollo 13

In this all-new recording of the #1 bestseller, Apollo 13 recounts the harrowing journey of Navy Captain Jim Lovell and his crew during NASA's ill-fated fifth moon mission in April 1970. Just fifty-five hours into their flight, an explosion cripples their spacecraft, forcing the astronauts to take shelter in a small lunar module while engineers on the ground scramble to ensure their survival. Blending suspense with rich narratives of both the mission and the emotional toll on families, this account celebrates the heroic efforts that transformed a near-tragedy into a testament to human resilience and ingenuity. Coauthored by Lovell and Jeffrey Kluger, this story reflects on America's complex relationship with space exploration.
