Fatal Orbit by Tom Grace
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, the bestselling author of the Nolan Kilkenny series, is also an architect with a lifelong interest in science and technology and a love of storytelling. Spyder Web, Quantum, and Twisted Web were written using Grace's professional architectural experience with private technology companies and university research labs. Bird of Prey was motivated by his fascination in space, while The Hidden Cardinal was inspired by his outrage at China's mistreatment of Catholics who maintain allegiance to the pope. Grace, like the hero of his books, is a University of Michigan graduate who enjoys scuba diving, martial arts, marathon running, and reading. He lives in Michigan with his wife and five children.
