Summary
Hugo Award-winning author Ben Bova joins forces with
Nebula Award finalist Doug Beason for an action-packed
technothriller with Space Station Down. “Think Die Hard happening two hundred and fifty
miles above the earth...
When an ultra-rich space tourist visits the orbiting
International Space Station, NASA expects a $100 million
win-win: his visit will bring in much needed funding and
publicity. But the tourist venture turns into a scheme of
terror. Together with an extremist cosmonaut, the tourist
slaughters all the astronauts on board the million-pound ISS
— and prepares to crash it into New York City at 17,500
miles an hour, causing more devastation than a hundred atomic
bombs. In doing so, they hope to annihilate the world’s
financial system. All that stands between them and their deadly goal is the
lone survivor aboard the ISS, Kimberly Hasid-Robinson, a
newly divorced astronaut who has barricaded herself in a
secure area.
Will have you watching the skies overhead much more
closely.” — Steve Berry
