“Think Die Hard happening two hundred and fifty miles above the earth. . . . Will have you watching the skies overhead much more closely.” —Steve Berry
From Hugo Award–winning author Ben Bova and Nebula Award finalist Doug Beason:
When two rogue cosmonauts slaughter all but one astronaut on the International Space Sttion, the sole survivor, Kimberly Hadid-Robinson, barricades herself in a remote section of the station, wreaking havoc on the terrorists’ plans.
The twisted terrorists plot to destroy the United States by obliterating New York City, the financial capital of the world, and raining down a million pounds of radioactive metal from Florida to Maine.
As the station descends, Kimberly is in a race against time—not only to save her own life but the lives of millions!
