The Astronaut's Wife
Thriller. Spencer Armacost is a NASA shuttle pilot who is involved in an accident in space, during the course of which the shuttle loses contact with ground control for a short while. After Spencer and his co-pilot, Alex Streck, return to earth, and seemingly recover, Alex dies shortly after a violent quarrel with his wife, who then kills herself. Spencer's wife, Jillian, begins to suspect something unusual may have happened during the abortive space mission, especially when her own husband begins to behave disturbingly.
