Very few people are aware of the existence of the United States Space Force, a top-secret U.S. agency. Initially born to keep the "final frontier" safe for America, this agency hides operations that would make most Americans cringe. It began with a murder to make sure that the U.S. was the first to the moon. And as Cory Rey, a mission specialist on the International Space Station, finds evidence of the murder while she's on the moon, this agency leaps into action to keep its secret. Even if that means more murders.
Cory is trapped on the space station and her ex-boyfriend, Navy SEAL Mitch Webber, is fighting for both his life and hers back on the earth. Can he save her? And maybe have another shot at their relationship?
These characters, first introduced in ICEFIRE, add dimension to an already intriguing plot. The Reeves-Stevens have never failed me in a book -- they always keep me guessing with fascinating plot twists and mysteries that show their in-depth knowledge of the military and world politics. I recommend all of their books.
THE PLACE The International Space Station. Docked to it,
the Space Shuttle Constitution. Crewed by ten astronauts
trained to recover the $100-million cargo aboard the first
privately launched lunar sample-return mission.
THE EVENT Sabotage. The containers from the Moon hold more
than rocks and moondust, and there are those who are
willing to kill to keep that knowledge from the world.
So begins the riveting new novel by acclaimed writing team
Judith & Garfield Reeves-Stevens -- a relentless tale of
high-tech conspiracy and suspense that reaches back to the
darkest secrets of the space race of the 1960s, and ahead
to the startling new technologies that will drive us to the
Moon in the next decade.
Freefall marks the long-awaited return of the heroes of
Icefire -- the Reeves-Stevens novel Stephen King hailed
as: "The best suspense novel of its kind since The Hunt for
Red October."
Now U.S. Navy Captain Mitch Webber, outspoken oceanographer
Cory Rey, and Air Force Major Wilhemina Bailey of the
United States Space Command are reunited in an even more
harrowing adventure that pits them against the ruthless
inheritors of a staggering conspiracy that could change
history.
From the covert infiltration of China's most secure
aerospace facility and the stirring heroism of astronauts
and cosmonauts confronting disaster in space, to sudden
violence on ordinary suburban streets and the startling
revelation of America's most secret space program, Freefall
is a nonstop explosive read that in true Reeves-Stevens
fashion makes readers wonder where truth ends and fiction
begins.
