New York Times bestselling author Dale Brown—"the best
military writer in the country" (Clive Cussler)—is back with
Starfire, a masterful military thriller that explores a
future that is all too possible, and all too close–the
weaponization of space
With the death of his heroic father, bomber and space
warfare veteran Patrick McLanahan, Bradley McLanahan must
now fly solo, leading a team of young engineers designing
Starfire, the world's first orbiting solar power plant.
Starfire will not only deliver unlimited and inexpensive
electricity to anywhere on planet Earth, it can also
transmit power to the moon, and even to spacecraft and
asteroids. It's a crucial first step in the exploration of
the solar system, and Bradley and his team are on the
cutting edge.
But U.S. president Kenneth Phoenix's plans to militarize and
industrialize Earth's orbit sparks an arms race in space
that eclipses the darkest and most terrifying days of the
Cold War. Before he can prevent it, Bradley and his team are
caught at the center of a battle that threatens to become
all-out global war for control of space.
