Book Synopsis

"Grace's prose recalls Ian Fleming at his most lean, and although the focus is on the ticking time bomb in orbit, he throws in a wealth of technical details and gadgetry to satisfy techno-thriller aficionados. This is a complex story, but Grace keeps the plot clean and streamlined, making this a brisk, enjoyable read." --Publishers Weekly

"You won't put this one down once you start it. Tom Grace is a masterful plotter. He draws you into his net and doesn't release you until the final sentence."--Clive Cussler

"Tom Grace's [Fatal Orbit] had me spellbound. It's the first genuine page-turner I couldn't put down in years. His Nolan Kilkenny is one of the most compelling new heroes of the techno-thriller genre you'll ever meet."--The Detroit Free Press

"Nolan Kilkenny has done it again. [Fatal Orbit] is 21st Century technological suspense... be prepared to be aghast at big business's potential for evil."--Jonathan Swift, PBS

Nolan Kilkenny is about to propose to his NASA astronaut girlfriend Kelsey when a mysterious satellite blackout forces Kelsey to board the space shuttle Liberty to investigate. Kilkenny soon realizes that his would-be fiancée is in grave danger--targeted miles above Earth by a weaponized spacecraft called Zeus. A ruthlessly determined Nolan must track down the tycoon creator of Zeus to prevent silent terror from being launched from the sky--and he'll have to confront a billion-dollar conspiracy, an army of ruthless thugs, and apocalyptic weapons technology that defies comprehension.
