NY Times Bestseller author of October Sky...the shuttle is hijacked, now the countdown to adventure begins...
A renegade rocket man haunted by his past. A beautiful daredevil who thinks she can do it all--until she finds herself on the adventure of her life. A death-defying mission so risky, so audatious that no one would try it...unless the fate of the world depended on its success.
Jack Medaris doesn't "borrow" the space shuttle Columbia to be a hero or a villian. A man of science driven by the memory of the woman who once inspired him, Jack risks his life, his name, and everything he has, to sidetrack the shuttle and take it on an unscheduled detour to the moon. Where the secrets of his past--and the future of the world--await him. But, when the meticulously plotted launch goes fatally wrong, and payload specialist Penny High Eagle further complicates Jack's plan, he must confront unforeseen challenges both in space and on the ground.
