Book excerpt: According to history as we know it, Apollo 17 was the last manned mission to the moon. However, the truth may be far different. When Luna 12 was launched, it captured some of the first photos of the lunar surface and within those, a grainy image appeared, which was confirmed by future Apollo missions as being an archaeological site of incredible interest to mankind. Amidst a veil of secrecy, the US and the Soviets conspired to explore the location at any cost, sending a team to the moon, to excavate, document and retrieve artifacts of great value. In 1975, using the Apollo/Soyuz mission as a distraction, they executed one of the greatest adventures of discovery in human history. Fresh off of the Apollo moon missions, the infrastructure and equipment were still in place to achieve the goal, and amidst a perfect storm of coincidence and opportunity, they took a giant leap into the unknown. The only evidence? An object named 2010 KQ. It is a smoking gun that remains in solar orbit, as an unwelcome reminder of this politically charged battle for control of information, which could have changed the balance of world power at the time. While the mission was a success, the needs of the time dictated a policy of absolute secrecy. This story reveals their intriguing saga of courage and hope. Join their adventure as they travel into the unknown, searching for the answer to one of the greatest questions of mankind. Are we alone?
