| Summary |
Bestselling aviation expert and author John Nance returns with a riveting thriller set in the world of commercial spaceflight. The fact is that we are about to enter the era of publicly available space flight. And, as with any new technology in private hands, there will be accidents, which is where Orbit begins. The year is 2009, and the first commercial, passenger-carrying spaceflight operation, American Space Adventures, is making money and history with every launch. ASA decides to raffle off four seats on upcoming launches, and for Kip Dawson, it is a dream come true. But just as the pilot is pulling out the obligatory champagne after their successful launch, a micrometeorite punches through the wall of the spacecraft, killing him, and in the blink of an eye, Kip Dawson is truly alone. The world is horrified and stunned by the accident, and Kip begins to compose his own epitaph on a laptop on board, unaware that his message is being transmitted to earth. |
