About the Book

In the sands of the Moon, at a place called the Marsh of Decay, there lies an item which should not have been there. It is a tiny figurine, shaped to look like a man, and he is dead. Behind him, a plaque is set in the soil, bearing fourteen names. Some are American, some Russian. This figurine was called the Fallen Astronaut. The crew of Apollo 15 took it there, without knowledge of their superiors, and they placed it at this site to commemorate their colleagues from two countries whom doom had struck before men landed on the Moon. But there are more names than these, others which are not even mentioned on that plaque, and knowledge of their unhappy fates was lost. These men are the Forgotten Astronauts, who were chosen to write history, but then history passed over them, sometimes tragically, sometimes tragicomically. Their stories tell a darker chapter of the American moon-landing myth. It is recounted in this book. With 28 full-colour images!

About the Author :
Codex Regius is a pseudonym and label of a pair of two authors from Slovenia and Germany, respectively. They are also using the label 'Romanike' for their series of historical novels set in the Roman Empire. One author is a university engineer of chemistry and, before both set up a freelance translation business, has spent her time trying to convey the wonders of the Periodic Table to mostly unreceptive students. The other is a graduate of physical engineering and former technical editor. Both are working from home, which the children find very convenient when they come from school. The two authors of Codex Regius are married to each other and still trying to find a common language. We invite you to visit our blog at www.codex-regius.de on which we publish news and background information on our print and e-book programme."
