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...Will have you watching the skies overhead much more
closely."--Steve Berry
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.
