It is a nightmare even to imagine! A spacecraft equipped with deadly nuclear missiles that's parked in deep space gets into the hands of terrorists who intend using it for their own purposes. Under the command of a hate-driven former diplomat, Sir Miles Griffin, they plan an act of revenge on the USA. One of the targets is the supervolcano in Yellowstone Nationalpark. However, all efforts fail to obtain the missiles' firing codes and Griffin recruits Frank Adams, an English spacecraft engineer living in Canada. Adams, a former SAS colonel and reformed alcoholic, is the designer of the spacecraft's weapon system. On his return to England, Adams learns that his ex-wife has cancer and only a short time to live. Despite many years of separation she and Adams still love each other, and Adams vows to save her life. Learning that there might be a cure, Adams accepts Griffin's offer for arming the spacecraft, however, not trusting Griffin's motives, he agrees to work with the British Counter Terrorism Command to sabotage the project.

The thrilling and moving story that Steve Lawson presents in his space adventure gets a special authentic and realistic colour because the author is a spacecraft engineer who knows exactly what he is talking about. With his gripping novel, he wants to show what might happen sometime in the future and, thus, not only does he provide a breath-taking story but also provokes deep-thought in the reader.

NB: The manuscript of this book was granted the "Gold Star Award" by the Publishers' Desk in New York.
Autorenporträt
Steve Lawson kam vor über 40 Jahren aus England nach Deutschland. Nach einem erfolgreichen Referat und der Publikation seines Technikpapiers hatte er von einer großen deutschen Firma das Angebot erhalten, als Consultant-Ingenieur an Raumfahrt- und Satellitenentwicklungsprojekten für die NASA und ESA zu arbeiten. Einige Jahre später heiratete er eine deutsche Frau, und lebt jetzt in Biberach nördlich des Bodensees. Er schreibt Krimis und Thriller seit über 20 Jahren, anfangs um beruflichen Stress abzubauen, fand er dieses Hobby dann so erfüllend, dass es ihn nicht mehr losließ und er schrieb, um Kunst und Technik des Schreibens zu lernen, mit dem Ziel, das Geschriebene zu veröffentlichen. Die Manuskripte zwei seiner Bücher wurden mit dem ¿Gold Star Award¿ durch ¿The Publishers Desk¿ in New York ausgezeichnet. Bis heute hat er drei Romane in Deutsch und in Englisch als Taschenbuch und e-Book veröffentlicht. Zur Zeit arbeitet er an zwei weiteren Thrillern, die Anfang nächsten Jahres für die Publikation geplant sind.
