Science reporter Steven Borg and pilot Pamela Rudd attempt to keep the disabled space shuttle "Excalibur," which is carrying a deadly nuclear weapon, from crashing into the city of Kiev
A fairly fasted paced and engaging read, this story harkens back to the end of the Cold-War era and is well endowed with international intrigue, government conspiracy and investigative suspense. A little uneven at times, the author is at his best when he's building up and then pushing the plot, but a little thin during the transition periods that every story needs in order to punctuate the excitement. If you're looking for something that will take you away, and not require a lot of effort, this is a good book for you.
