A renegade terrorist, with a bottomless personal grudge against all things American, targets the most visible symbol of American prestige and power one clear morning in Florida, as NASA prepares to launch the Space Shuttle.
The Shuttle carries a high-profile payload and a high-paying visitor on board, and astronaut Kenai Munro, FBI special agent Patrick Chisholm and US Coast Guard Captain Cal Schyler are doing everything they can to help the launch go off without a hitch. Can one terrorist with a gift for mass murder subvert all the forces arrayed against him in a bid for recognition and revenge?
Once again Dana Stabenow, who researched this novel during a two-month patrol on board the USCG cutter Munro in the eastern Pacific Ocean, doing drug interdiction and migrant mitigation, delivers an action-driven thriller with an ingenious, frightening, straight-from-the-headlines plot, certain to be her next bestseller.
New York Times bestseller and Edgar Award finalist Dana Stabenow is the author of 15 Kate Shugak mysteries, three science fiction novels, one thriller and an acclaimed column for Alaska magazine. She was born, raised, and lives in Alaska.
