Hero or killer?

In a startling future that's coming closer every year, Chet Kinsman is an astronaut ace who has done everything one can in space - including commit the first murder. It's a secret he can never escape, not even on the moon, where he's head of the first U.S. lunar colony.

A series of shocking yet strangely inevitable circumstances will force Kinsman to confront his hidden past and decide Earth's destiny. In a desperate countdown to nuclear annihilation, Kinsman will struggle against a deadly dilemma: if he rescues the world, he risks destroying himself.

This is a story very much of its time. Dated by the passage of time and history. The characterisation of the few women is quite superficial, sexist and boring. However as a whole it was entertaining and a bit of an emotional kick in the face at the end. I tend to think if I'm emotionally affected by a story it must be at least half good. This is the first Ben Bova audio book that I have listened to, having read most of his other works. Not my first Stefan Rudnicki narration though, as wonderful as always. That man has a voice like chocolate.

Excellent narration of a dated story
