"When the enemy occupies high ground, do not confront him." Sun Tzu, The Art of WarAND SPACE IS THE ULTIMATE HIGH GROUND.The last orbital mission for Mission Specialist Robert "Pitch" Black ended when Kestral's two EU astronauts hijacked the new USAF spaceplane on reentry. Then they tried to kill him.What they couldn't accomplish, the crash nearly did.WE WERE ALWAYS GOING TO FIGHT IN SPACE...But the destruction of Kestral was only the opening gambit in a game to shift global economic power. Milsats began to disappear or careen out of orbit, and launch sites from the U.S. to Asia were bombarded into rubble with kinetic weapons from rogue killer satellites. THE ONLY QUESTIONS WERE WHEN AND HOW... With the International Space Station in pieces and falling toward a fiery reentry with eight cosmonauts on board, Pitch and his aerospace company had the only remaining technology that might reach the remains of the ISS.But major cities across the globe were in the crosshairs next. Governments panicked. Nuclear weapons were readied. But if he could stay alive, Pitch was the only one with a plan to save the cosmonauts, Paris...and civilization as we know it.He might also be the only one not to survive on reentry.
