Explosive, ingenious and thought provoking. I was not able to put this novel down because I had to find out what happened next... Tom Clancy and Dan Brown stand aside. 5 Stars Readers' Favorite
Taking military technologies that are on the drawing board today and putting them into the domain of space 15 years from now, 'Orbital' is a high-octane look at what the growing militarization of space could lead to in the all too near future.
In 2034, a cataclysmic meteorite shower rains down on Saudi Arabia, destroying the world's largest oil processing facility and sending the price of oil into the stratosphere.
But was it an act of God, or of man?
At Cape Canaveral, Colonel Alicia Rodriguez takes over the fledgling US Space Force 615th Combat Operations Squadron's three X-37C remotely piloted spacecraft and their new mission: to determine whether a foreign State was behind the attack.
At the Titov Main Test and Control Center in Moscow, Lieutenant General Yevgeny Bondarev is trying to balance the ambitions of his political masters with the demands of his Chief Scientist, the scarred, blind and emotionally disturbed Anastasia Grahkovsky.
In Switzerland, Italian External Intelligence Agency deep-cover source, Roberta D'Antonia, is witness to a confrontation between Russia and Saudi Arabia on the sidelines of an OPEC meeting that could set the world on fire.
And 1,200 miles above the earth, in the British Skylon D4 spacecraft, Flight Lieutenant 'Meany' Papastopolous finds his craft under fire as he gets too close to the closest guarded secret in space.
