The Great Moon Landing - Paperback

by Knut Horvei Espeseth (Author)

He envisaged something ground-breaking to take place, something with a full-scale refinery for carbon at our new Gaz facility. Norway would once again be a lead country. But the Russians did not believe that our landing on the moon merely was about CO₂, and immediately, the prime minister's New Year's address to his people got another focus: Russians' fear of a rocket base at the very North Pole.

This book deals with life in the shade of the secret services in the seventies and the eighties and unfolds to a crime-espionage novel involving several superpowers well into the twentieth century. Part of the action refers to the author's own experiences, but quite a lot is mere fiction.

The reader is taken to Dracula land in exotic Transylvania. Bribing, attempt to recruit the author- yes, love, broken promises, suicides, and murders, some quite brutal. There is plenty of everything. Excitement tops with the closure in Moscow, in Bymarka-Trondheim, and the long crushed-down radar station, Gråkallen.
