Аннотация

By NASA’s best guess, the crew of Apollo 8 are an even money chance of dying.
A long list of things could go catastrophically wrong as they attempt to park their supersonic spacecraft into stable lunar orbit.
But they get it done, paving the way for one giant leap toward the surface.
They are the first men alive to see the far side of the Moon — the lunar face permanently turned away from Earth.
Inside the tiny capsule, astronaut Bill Anders points his camera at the lunar horizon and captures one of the most famous photographs of all time.
Our planet, lonely and fragile in the eternal darkness of space.
Lonely, but perhaps not alone.
Another photo is taken that day… one so sensitive even the NASA chiefs don’t know about it.
Sleeping Gods puts you right there on the first manned mission to the Moon.
You’ll be surprised and amazed by this alternate view of space history, a prelude to Matt Eaton’s acclaimed novel, Blank.
If you’ve pondered flying to the Moon, climb inside the capsule with the men who did it.
Then join astronaut Frank Borman on a journey even more incredible that begins shortly after splashdown.
Coming soon… Apollo 8.1 — go one step beyond Sleeping Gods on a space trip no-one was ever told about.

“Matt Eaton does not let you down with his smooth writing style.”
