New book 'Challenger: A True Story of Heroism & Disaster on the Edge of Space' out today

A space shuttle launches into a blue sky filled with birds.

Weaving together an incredibly detailed and compelling narrative of NASA's tragic space shuttle Challenger disaster, a new non-fiction account of the historic event arrives today from Adam Higginbotham, the New York Times bestselling author of "Midnight in Chernobyl." 

"Challenger: A True Story of Heroism & Disaster on the Edge of Space" (Avid Reader Press, Simon & Schuster) is a gripping 576-page chronicle of the shuttle program from its inception before, and in the wake of, the Apollo moon missions, which made a final lunar landing in December of 1972.
