Author Description

Taking a non-optional tour of duty aboard a satellite housing the world's most dangerous secrets with a year's supply of food, air, and water, but no communication back home, Charlie Hardie plots his escape using the secrets as leverage. Charlie Hardie finds himself in a steel box, tubes and wires attached to his body, trapped inside a satellite parked in orbit 500 miles above the Earth. He's got a year's supply of food, air, water, and no communication back to Earth, and must complete his 12 months' duty or his wife and son will have an "accident." Someone all-too-familiar docks on the satellite, informs Hardie he's sitting in a veritable zero-G vault containing the world's most dangerous secrets, and forces a crash-landing in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Now Hardie must decide whether he's come face-to-face with the partner he needs to save his family-- or with his nemesis.
