When a meteor strikes a remote ranch in West Texas, vaporizing the home of a paranoid whistleblower, the authorities call it a tragic celestial accident. But pilot Ashley Crowe knows the truth: stars don't correct their course.
Enter Hastings, Tanner & Vance.
Hired to prove the impossible, attorney Clay Hastings and his team uncover a conspiracy that reaches higher than the atmosphere. Aether Dynamics, a private space contractor led by the ruthless Simon Rochester, hasn't just built a satellite network-they've built a kill grid. Using Rod from God technology, they can drop a tungsten telephone pole on any target on Earth with the force of a nuclear weapon-and zero radiation.
But fighting Aether isn't just a matter of ballistics; it's a matter of jurisdiction. Operating from a mobile launch platform in international waters, Rochester has engineered the perfect legal defense: the Jurisdiction Trap. He is untouchable by US courts, and he's about to put his weapon up for auction.
With a second strike targeted at downtown Houston, Clay, Sal, and Darius must race from the courtrooms of Texas to the high-tech fortress of Spaceport America.
To stop the signal, they'll have to break the law. To stop the weapon, they'll have to catch a falling star.
Gravity is the ultimate weapon in this blistering new legal techno-thriller from David Chisholm, author of The Zurich Protocol and The D.C. Covenant.
