Did you ever want to be an astronaut or take a ride in the space shuttle? Here’s your chance.

Published on the same day as the actual, historic launch of four women in space on April 4, 2010, this novel follows Christina Matthews on her destiny to become NASA’s youngest Astronaut Commander. Michael Jacobs, a bright young colleague, helps Christina unravel a terrorist attack and fight a nuclear battle in orbit. She is pitted between a NASA conspiracy and a terrorist plot to bring the world’s greatest power to her knees. As Christina hopes to be the first astronaut on Mars, her dreams are interrupted by family tragedy and a war with Iranian terrorists. Will space shuttle disaster, torture and mental calamity rein back the dreams of the best female pilot who ever lived? Or will true love conquer all?

An action-packed thriller loaded with suspense, this story depicts real life scenes of death-defying bravery in the cockpit and exposes the untold traumas of space travel.

±1±: Best Buy I bought this one and the first one at the same time and then mixed them up and read this one first. It didn't bother me too much, though I think there were some references made that would have made more sense if I'd read the first one, well, first. :) I loved the plot of the book and the various conspiracies set forth. I don't know anything about flying, so Mr. Ward could have made all the technical stuff up. If that's the case then he's a wonderful BSer, but my guess is he really knows his facts about planes and shuttles. The only constructive criticism I have to offer is some of the dialogue didn't seem to flow right for me. Now back to read book one! on Sale!
