First edition, early printing of this work, the basis of the 1995 film adaptation Apollo 13, directed by Ron Howard, starring Tom Hanks, Kevin Bacon, Bill Paxton, Ed Harris, and Gary Sinise. Octavo, original publisher's half cloth, illustrated endpapers, illustrated with black and white photographs. Boldly signed by James Lovell and Academy Award-winning actor Tom Hanks on the title page. Fine in a fine dust jacket.
Out of the seven Apollo expeditions to land on the moon, six of the efforts succeeded outstandingly and one failed. Lost Moon is the story of the failure and the incredible heroism of the three astronauts who brought their crippled vehicle back to earth. This account--written by Jim Lovell, commander of the mission, and his talented coauthor, Jeffrey Kluger--captures the high drama of that unique event and is told in the vernacular of the men in the sky and on the ground who masterminded this triumph of heroism, intellectual brilliance, and raw courage.
